Sensor gloves for weightlifting efficiency

A new smart device has made it possible to turn the tracking of an exercise regimen over to personal training gloves with sensing technology. Shape.Care of Kraków, Poland, offers a comprehensive system designed to support both amateurs and professionals in their weightlifting training routine by monitoring a workout, tracking progress and correcting technique. The system will count the number and frequency of repetitions of an exercise; measure movement dynamics, force and power; and then analyze the data to help the wearer perform exercises correctly for the best results. The information allows the weightlifter to follow his or her training history, check exercise suggestions, improve technique and potentially eliminate injuries. The gloves are fully washable with the removal of the electronics module. Photo: Shape.Care.
