Technology for Sports Professionals
The ability to track and monitor the condition of an athlete in real time is absolutely vital. Coaches and individuals are becoming much more focussed on an athlete's status in terms of health and exertion. They are frequently demanding that this information be available so that key decisions can be made within a split second. A challenge exists, however, whereby many monitoring technologies cause irritation and distraction to the athlete thus not permitting them to achieve top levels of performance. The ability to integrate sensors into apparel without compromising comfort and performance
represents a positive direction for future athlete development.
