Trends in Sports Broadcast - More, Personalized Information
ACCESSWIRE - Tue Aug 19, 9:16AM CDT
WHITEFISH, MT / August 19, 2014 / If you follow sports, you have seen that sports teams are gathering data about how their athletes move, how far they run, what positions they gravitate toward, how their body responds to stress, etc. The data can be gathered by cameras and software, as is the case with the National Basketball Association's SportVU system. Or it can be gathered by wearables, sensors that transmit information from the athletes' bodies to receivers that record the data, as is the case with Major League Soccer's agreement with Adidas AG (OTC: ADDYY). According to an article in USA Today, the National Football League is having all players wear two sensors for the first time this year, a step that was written into the collective-bargaining agreement in 2011. The league is partnering with Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) and will install receivers in 17 stadiums this year, on the way to covering every game in every stadium. There is a lot to be learned, and teams apply the knowledge to optimize training schedules, create the most effective game plans and make sound financial decisions based on performance.
