We are thrilled to announce that we have added a new module to our platform: Wearable Technologies in Sports. This module is designed to help learners understand the role and benefits of wearable devices in sports performance, training, and recovery.
What is Wearable Technologies in Sports?
Wearable Technologies in Sports is a module that covers the concepts, applications, and challenges of using wearable devices in different sports contexts. Wearable devices are anything attached to the body that measures some aspect of physical function or movement, such as heart rate, speed, force, or acceleration. These devices can help athletes, coaches, trainers, and health professionals monitor and optimize various aspects of sports performance, such as:
- Biomechanics: The study of how the body moves and interacts with external forces. Wearable devices can measure and analyze the kinematics (motion) and kinetics (forces) of different body segments and joints during sports activities.
- Physiology: The study of how the body functions and adapts to different stimuli. Wearable devices can measure and analyze the metabolic (energy expenditure), cardiovascular (heart rate and blood pressure), respiratory (breathing rate and oxygen consumption), and thermoregulatory (body temperature and sweat rate) responses of the body during sports activities.
- Psychology: The study of how the mind influences and is influenced by sports performance. Wearable devices can measure and analyze the cognitive (attention and memory), affective (mood and emotion), and behavioral (motivation and self-regulation) aspects of sports performance.
How to learn more on Wearable Technologies in Sports?
Wearable Technologies in Sports is an interactive and engaging module that combines theoretical and practical learning. To use this module, learners need to:
- Log in to their DigiLead account and navigate to the dashboard.
