SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETER OF PLAYERS ENGAGED IN A SPORTING ACTIVITY
摘要
<p>The present invention provides a system (10) for monitoring a physiological parameter of player engaged in a sporting activity. The system includes a plurality of reporting units (20), a controller (40), and a signaling device (60). The reporting unit has an arrangement of sensing devices (22) that measure the physiological parameter of an individual player and generate parameter data. The controller receives the parameter data transmitted from each reporting unit and then processes the parameter data to calculate a parameter result. When the parameter result exceeds a predetermined value, the controller communicates with a signaling device that provides an alert to sideline personnel to monitor the player(s) in question. They system also includes a remote storage device for holding historical data collected by the system which permits subsequent analysis. The system can monitor a number of player physiological parameters, including the acceleration of a player's body part that experiences an impact and the temperature of each player.</p>
