Motion and position sensors , including accelerometers and gyroscopes , are widely used in sports to capture and analyse movement patterns , velocity , acceleration , and orientation of athletes .
viscoelastic properties by measuring the resonance frequency of a quartz crystal resonator . These biosensors are highly sensitive and can detect minute changes in analyte concentration . In sports , piezoelectric biosensors are used for monitoring parameters like hydration levels and detecting biomarkers related to fatigue or over exertion .
4 . Strain Gauges and Force Sensors : Strain gauges and force sensors are examples of biosensors used for biomechanical measurements in sports . These sensors detect and measure physical forces , strains , and pressures applied to sports equipment or the human body . They are commonly integrated into wearable devices , sports equipment , or specialised insole systems to assess forces exerted during training , running , or impact events .
5 . Motion and Position Sensors : Motion and position sensors , including accelerometers and gyroscopes , are widely used in sports to capture and analyse movement patterns , velocity , acceleration , and orientation of athletes . These sensors are commonly
embedded in wearable devices , sports equipment , or clothing to provide insights into performance metrics , gait analysis , or injury prevention .
6 . Sweat-based Biosensors : Sweat-based biosensors are gaining attention in sports applications due to their non-invasive and real-time monitoring capabilities . These biosensors collect sweat samples and analyse them for various analytes , including electrolytes , lactate , glucose , and hydration markers . Sweat-based biosensors offer valuable insights into an athlete ’ s hydration status , electrolyte balance , and overall performance .
CHALLENGES IN SPORTS
Biosensor technology undoubtedly offers transformative possibilities for sports applications , but it is not without significant obstacles . Securing the correctness and dependability of the data obtained through biosensors is a significant obstacle . It is crucial to make sure that sensors can endure a variety of environmental factors .
