Whether you are a professional athlete or just enjoy physical exercise, instant data on your performance can improve your training. With help from ESA, a Spanish firm has developed a smart ‘e-shirt’ to measure and transmit key body information during exercise.
| TrainGrid and its e-shirt is being developed by the start-up company emxys at ESA’s Business Incubation Centre Noordwijk in the Netherlands under the Agency’s Technology Transfer Programme.  Most of today’s monitoring aids for athletes, even the high-end ones, are very inaccurate and record so few parameters that both professional and amateur athletes continue to use pencil and paper to track their training. | | | | | | |
TrainGrid offers the full package for everyone: for those who just run for fun and for professional coaches and athletes.
“Put on your TrainGrid e-shirt and you can track your route, know if you are getting quicker, check if your friends are running and verify your heart rate."
“And all the data are automatically recorded; no more stopwatches or uncomfortable straps to measure your heartrate around your chest.”
