The risk associated with sports is mainly centered around injury. These injuries in many case are a result of improper form when performing difficult athletic maneuvers during the course of competition. Injuries, in cases not associated with bad luck, result from these improper motions, which result from fatigue and lack of concentration on important movements. Further problems associated with diagnosing and recovering from injuries can occur from a lack of information. Lastly training and teaching sports relies on explaining motions which can be enhanced by more prolific information.
Our proposed solution is to design clothing and equipment that can be used by players to solve the previous problems. These products could track real time data which could lead to recognition of fatigue patterns. Better analysis of injuries that occur during the course of play and must be diagnosed on the field. Better tracking of players rehabilitation status and necessities. An additional tool for coaches to communicate explicit information to improve a players performance. Finally a mission to improve and elongate players careers.
By using technology referred to as Fibertronics our product could seamlessly integrate measurement tools into textiles. The result is a product exactly the same as traditional Underarmour, but with the ability to track temperature, pressure, moisture, motion, and heart rate. This would give coaches and training staff the necessary raw data to improve solutions to the proposed problems. The “Fibertronics” will target key joints and areas of common injury.
Demonstrated above are sports that require very specific repetitive motions. Included are tennis and baseball, but other include golf, football and others. These sports that stress repetitive motion can use our product to optimize the motion as well as pin point times of fatigue and greatest risk of injury.
For triathelets, Olympians, or just the weekend runner our product can offer information to improve technique. Many runners suffer from lower back, and other persistent pains which can be a result of the pressure put on areas of the body by running. Our product can offer information about were these pressures are occurring and how to train in order to strengthen and balance your bodies muscles.
You don’t have your mother at work telling you to sit up straight and you don’t necessarily want to. Our product will not be one to constantly rub the information in your face but it will be able to help doctors give you more detailed advice when it comes to getting older. By using garments with our technology trend patterns can be stored, and common bad habits can be eliminated.
