Smart T-shirt can record physical activity during training - scientists
A team of US scientists have developed and tested a smart sports jersey. She is able to show how well an athlete trains.
The development is smart clothes, transmitting the level of muscle activity using sensors. These are the muscles that are involved during a particular load. So the coach will be able to better understand how well the training process is going.
At this stage, the research team focused on winter sports - hockey, biathlon, ski jumping. This is due to the presence of requests from specialized sports fields. But soon testing will start in both land and water sports.
Also, in the near future, scientists plan to connect artificial intelligence to their development. Thanks to this, the training process can be optimized. Thus, every athlete can get a virtual coach. And this is already a solution to the personnel issue.
The main focus of the current program is on the muscles of the upper shoulder girdle. But scientists do not exclude the possibility of scaling to all muscle groups. And this is important from the perspective of different sports, because for each of them different muscles and their groups are involved in the work.
