Data Trackers

They are not 'wired' for sound, they are 'wired' for movement.

Or, maybe, one would be more accurate to describe several University of Memphis football players as being wirelessly 'wired' for movement.

For the second consecutive season, selected Tigers are having their on-field practice movements being tracked by UofM professor Dr. Daniel Greenwood's staff. Greenwood is the Human Performance Center Director for the UofM School of Health Studies.

Greenwood and his staff are tracking "the workload" of 12 members of the team using GPS (Global Positioning System) devices designed by the Australian-based Catapult company, which created wearable technology to collect data.
