Nike introduced a technologically advanced training shoe, LunarTR1+, in June this year. The shoe is equipped with sensors that tracks your workout and communicates to your smartphone allowing you to monitor your exercise, analyse and also compete with friends. Nike's LunarTR1+ is just one of new products enabled by popularity of Internet of Things that is helping athletics and sports players to better understand and improve their game.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Internet of Things is a mesh of sensors embedded into the objects which communicate the data seamlessly to the other objects/ sensors linking to the internet allowing remote monitoring of the data and processes. According to a CISCO report, there will be an estimated 50 billion IoT devices by 2020. Some of the known and common examples of IoT or IoT enabled applications are Smart Grids and Google Glass. Sarvajal also uses IoT technology into its machine to provide safe drinking water solutions.
Below IoT devices are developed for players to help them improve their game:
SwingTip
SwingTip is a bluetooth-enabled device that fits onto the edge of your golf-stick. The device tracks player's golf swing and transmits the data to the smartphone app. The data can used to analyze players strengths, flaws and compare with the best shots. The app also provides metrics on the impact of the shot and reproduces an video-animation of player's swing.
PunchForce
These Boxing Gloves developed by HBO is equipped with sensors and communicating device that measures the speed and force of a boxer's punches and are then transmitted for broadcasting to viewers. But far beyond that, the gloves can be extremely useful to boxers during training sessions.
IoT enabled Cricket Bat
This bat is equipped with inertia , accelerometer and
vibrations sensors that transmit data for analysis on stroke technique or bating posture to a Mobile/ Computer application through a wireless transmitter The sensors are stuck to the adhesive labels on the non-striking surface of the bat.
