1080 Motion is a Swedish sports technology company founded in 2013 and based in Lidingö, Sweden.[3][4] The company develops motorized resistance and testing devices that allow independent control of concentric and eccentric loading for athletic performance, rehabilitation, and sport science research.[5][6] Its flagship products, the 1080 Sprint and 1080 Quantum, have been evaluated in peer-reviewed studies on sprint mechanics, strength testing, and isokinetic exercise,[7][8] and are used in elite sport environments such as the NFL Combine and the Australian Open's AO StartUps program.[9][10] The company has also received international design recognition for its equipment, including Red Dot and iF Design Awards.[11][12]
History
1080 Motion was established in 2013 with the aim of applying robotic resistance technology to human performance training.[13] In 2015, Sports Business Journal profiled the company as part of its SportTechie Startup Series. CEO Rolf Öhman explained that the first major test was at the NFL Combine and that the system had since been used in track and field, soccer, tennis, and even swimming to measure force output in water.[14] In 2023, 1080 Motion was selected for the Australian Open's AO StartUps program, which partners with emerging companies to pilot new technologies in elite tennis environments.[15]
Products
All 1080 Motion devices use motorized resistance technology that allows independent control of concentric and eccentric loads and velocities. This makes it possible to train in different modes, including ballistic, eccentric overload, isokinetic, concentric-only, and assisted loading.[16][17][18]
The 1080 Sprint and its updated model, the Sprint 2, are portable systems designed specifically for running applications. With higher maximum speeds and extended line lengths, they are suited to resisted and assisted sprinting, speed development, and late-stage return-to-play programs.[19] The Sprint has been widely used in peer-reviewed research on sprint mechanics, resisted sprinting, and load–velocity profiling.[20][21]
The 1080 Cable is a single-cable system designed for heavier loads at lower maximum speeds. It is used in strength training and rehabilitation contexts and has been recognized with international design awards for its product design.[22][23]
The company's larger platforms include the 1080 Quantum and 1080 Syncro. The Quantum was the original multi-purpose product, designed for a wide range of strength and power training applications, and has been used in sport science research to study muscle function, power output, and stretch–shortening cycle performance.[24][25] The Syncro links two Quantum units through integrated software, enabling dual-cable training and integration with a Smith machine or squat plate for vertical loading.[26] Peer-reviewed studies have confirmed the validity and reliability of these systems for measuring velocity, force, and power in controlled testing and applied training contexts.[27][28]
Research and applications
1080 Motion devices have been the subject of peer-reviewed research across sprinting, strength training, and rehabilitation. The 1080 Sprint has been validated as a reliable tool for measuring sprint performance and resisted sprinting mechanics,[29][30] and has been used in studies examining load–velocity profiling and the effects of resisted sprinting in sports such as soccer and rugby.[31][32]
The company's cable-based systems, including the 1080 Quantum and 1080 Syncro, have been evaluated in laboratory and applied sport science settings. Research has confirmed their validity and reliability for measuring velocity, force, and power during exercises such as the bench press and isokinetic muscle testing.[33][34] These platforms have also been used to study stretch–shortening cycle performance and neuromuscular function.[35]
In addition to laboratory validation, 1080 Motion devices are used in elite sport environments. The 1080 Sprint has been integrated into training at the ALTIS "Living Lab" for track and field athletes,[36] and the technology has been piloted at the NFL Combine and the Australian Open as part of its AO StartUps program.[37][38]
Recognition
1080 Motion has received international recognition for its product design. Both the 1080 Sprint 2 and the 1080 Cable were awarded the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award, highlighting the company's emphasis on usability and innovation in motorized resistance systems.[39][40][41][42]
The company's technology has also been covered in mainstream sports media and adopted in elite competition settings. In professional baseball, reports linked Shohei Ohtani's training with the Los Angeles Dodgers to the use of 1080 Motion devices,[43][44] and in tennis the company was selected to participate in the Australian Open's AO StartUps program to pilot its technology within elite player development.[45]
