The Key to Victory in the 2026 "Sports Year" Lies in "Tech": The 5th Athlete Performance EXPO, Featuring Latest Analysis and Filming Technologies, to be Held from April 15th

RX Japan G.K. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Executive Officer and President: Takeshi Tanaka) will host the "5th Athlete Performance EXPO," an exhibition specializing in improving athletic performance, including training, conditioning, and recovery, within the "Sports Team & Athlete Comprehensive Exhibition 2026" at Tokyo Big Sight for three days from Wednesday, April 15 to Friday, April 17, 2026.

2026 is truly a "Sports Year," with a series of global sporting events. To seize victory on these international stages, the sports world is undergoing a dramatic evolution, shifting from coaching reliant on "experience and intuition" to strategies based on "data and science" utilizing the latest technology.

Particularly noteworthy are the "latest sports tech" that maximizes athlete performance and "advanced filming techniques" that capture every moment. Technologies such as the immersive close-up footage by "FPV (First Person View) drones" that thrilled audiences in this winter's snow and ice competitions, "blade detection technology" that visualizes movements down to the millimeter, and "volumetric video (free-viewpoint video)" that recreated dramatic baseball scenes from multiple angles and in 3D, have become indispensable not only for improving the quality of training but also for generating fan excitement.

The forefront of these innovations will gather at the "5th Athlete Performance EXPO." This exhibition will feature numerous cutting-edge devices that unlock athletes' potential and filming techniques that redefine the appeal of sports. At the venue, visitors can grasp the current state of sports tech through actual products and the voices of engineers, gaining concrete insights into "where sports coaching and management are headed next."

--Why "Athlete Performance x Sports Tech" Now?

● "Millimeter-level" motion analysis becomes standard. What was once only possible in large studios, 3D motion analysis is now possible in real-time outdoors and in stadiums thanks to the evolution of wearable sensors and AI cameras. Quantifying "sub-second movements" in winter sports gliding or baseball pitching and hitting holds the key to victory.

● Strategic planning with "Volumetric Video." This multi-view video technology, which has garnered attention at international competitions, is revolutionizing not only the viewing experience but also coaching. By reviewing plays from a free viewpoint, formation checks in sports like soccer and form correction can be performed with unprecedented accuracy.

● Boosting motivation and attracting audiences with "unexperienced perspectives." Powerful training footage utilizing FPV drones and technology that visualizes athletes' gaze help athletes self-objectify and create overwhelming appeal to fans through social media, etc.
