Rapid Feedback Systems for Elite Sports Training

Advances in information technology have let computer scientists and engineers develop sports-specific feedback systems in cooperation with biomechanists, physiologists, sport psychologists, and strength and conditioning specialists. These feedback systems incorporate embedded sensors and devices into the sport equipment or use sensors attached to the athlete to acquire biomechanical, physiological, and cognitive and behavioral parameter values of the exercise performed. We believe that such an adaptation could be productive because athletes could better compare performance in training and competition. Sports broadcasts could even use the data we acquire to help illustrate informative segments
