Wearable Sensor Technology in Sports Monitoring

Submission status
Closed
Wearable sensor technologies are being used in sports to monitor and measure athlete workloads during matches, in-game performance, injury prevention and recovery. Such technologies provide coaches, trainers, and players with accurate biometrics including motion, orientation, impact and heart rate. This Topical Collection is dedicated to recent advances in research and development in wearable sensor technology with emphasis on inertial measurement units (IMUs), textile-based, flex, pressure and strain sensors, among others.
