Firstbeat is excited to announce a new multi-year agreement with EWE Baskets Oldenburg that will see the men’s professional basketball team use the Firstbeat Sports Premium solution for the next three years, until 2028.
The club plays in the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), the highest-level league of professional club basketball in Germany. The first team players and staff will have access to Firstbeat’s comprehensive physiological analytics and the Firstbeat Sports app and sensor to help optimize player performance and recovery.
On the partnership, Matias Suhurt, Strength & Conditioning Coach at EWE Baskets Oldenburg said:
“We are very pleased to create this partnership with Firstbeat. It will definitely be an important complement to our practices. We’ll have the option to control training loads efficiently, know the impact of the physical demands on the player, and how their recovery process is.
At the same time, we will be able to create daily reports with high-quality objective information that will allow us to take our analysis and feedback to the next level.”
Firstbeat Sports is used by over 1,000 elite teams and 23,000 athletes globally, including teams across major basketball leagues such as the NBA, Serie A, BBL, NCAA D1, Liga ACB, and Novo Basquete.

Together with Matias Suhurt, we aim to leverage our combined expertise to enhance the team’s performance and recovery strategies.
