Sensors and Wearable Technologies in Sport ― Technologies, Trends and Approaches for Implementation

This book exploresemerging trends in wearable sensors for sport and highlights the developmentstaking place. Drawing on the literature both the approaches and principals forthe use of sensors in sport are outlined, and together with references to key worksthe reader finds this useful in considering such endeavours. The development of wearable technologies is fast paced and accompanying that is an exponentialgrowth in the use and development of computing resources, thus while the reviewis comprehensive on content not all works can be included and given publicationtimes will inevitably be somewhat dated. The illumination through trends,examples and principles are an aid for anyone considering the use of sensorsand wearables in sports.
