Professional Club’s First Team integrates real-time hydration tracking to personalize player performance and recovery in training and competition.

Sheffield, UK (October 2, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Sheffield United Football Club is pleased to announce a new performance partnership with Nix Biosensors, the leading provider of cutting-edge hydration monitoring technology. The Men’s First Team will now utilize Nix Pro (team/group platform) to track sweat loss across players during training and match play, helping to optimize individuals’ performance and recovery.

Nix’s non-invasive technology provides real-time data on fluid loss, hydration status, and electrolyte loss, including a breakdown of key electrolytes, including sodium and potassium. This level of insight enables Sheffield United’s performance staff to deliver individualized hydration strategies in real time, tailored to each player’s physiology and workload.

“We’re proud to support a club like Sheffield United that’s investing in cutting-edge science to protect and enhance player performance,” said Meridith Cass, CEO and Founder of Nix Biosensors. “Hydration is one of the most controllable factors in elite sport, and we’re thrilled to bring our technology to UK football for the first time.”

The Nix system will be fully integrated into the Club’s training and match-day routines, providing real-time feedback and post-session hydration reports to inform coaching decisions and player readiness.
