NEW YORK — Wearable fitness technology company Athos launched an update to its brand and athlete training system Thursday and will now narrow its focus on supporting competitive, performance-driven athletes.
Athos has compression gear with sensors that measures muscle activity using EMG (electromyography) and heart rate. The data is streamed to the user’s mobile device, providing real-time insights during a workout. Teams such as the Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia Eagles, FC Dallas, Santa Cruz Warriors and Ohio State along with private facilities that cater to elite athletes use Athos products in order to make decisions based on a better understanding of training loads.
