Interactive Clothes to Help Players Improve Their Skills Being Developed in Australia
Already top netball and basketball players are using such clothes designed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the countrys leading science agency.
CSIRO Textile and Fibre Technology scientist, Dr Richard Helmer, is working with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) on such a project.
The Australian netball team is utilising an interactive sleeve which embraces the arm and hand they use to shoot goals, a press release states.
To help players find their ideal shot-making rhythm and motion the system plays a series of beats in-sync with their arm and wrist movements as they take a shot.
The beats are triggered as the limbs move through certain positions. If the motion is correct that is, indicative of a more successful natural action the beats, which sound like parts of a disco drum rhythm, describe a recognisable pattern.
This enables the netballer to maintain the dynamics of her natural shot-making action in stressful situations simply by repeating the rhythm in her head.
AIS skills acquisition specialist, Dr Damian Farrow says the system allows athletes to move in the groove. While we now have the capability to provide real-time feedback of athlete movements, more importantly we can control the feedback content and delivery to optimise the athletes rate of learning, thanks to our ability to work with CSIRO scientists, Dr Farrow says.
