Smart Shirt!

Tired of figuring out your workout based on your breathing, pulse and heart rate after a workout to plan your next one?

Apparently Fitness Shirt, a wearable sports monitor, paired with a smart phone app, will be available in sometime in 2014 to allow for seamless training adjustments, during your work out, rather than after the fact! You can read about how demonstrated at a 2013 Medica trade fair, using an exercise bicycle here.

It is hoped that this monitoring shirt will both help us maximize our exercise performance and make exercise safer! Possibly, this could also be used improve safety for fire fighters and other rescue teams.

Having their cardiac activity and breathing monitored in critical situations would give a better indication of which teams are in danger of exhaustion and need assistance or evacuation.

Meanwhile, Under Armour Armour39 chest monitor is available. Apparently, this is not sufficient from a medical point of view.

I thought this was interesting.

Do you?

I figure might never need one.

If you are reluctant to work out due to a tendency to over do it, especially if you had heart problems…

This might help!
