Global Positioning Systems or simply GPS, have been rising in popularity in team field sports for over a decade. This wearable provides context to strength and conditioning coaches, sports scientists, athletic trainers, and sport coaches to understand and detect fatigue and fitness on a deeper level.
Small devices often worn in sleeves or undershirts contain the device that monitors the player’s every move. GPS reveal the training load of each athlete including distance run, intensity of sprints, and the overall workload on each individual over the course of a match.
With this information, strength and conditioning coaches can make better recommendations for future training and regeneration methods based off the load of one athlete to another.
