Abstract

Currently, the use of biometric sensors in physical activity has received considerable interest from academics and industry. Biometric sensors such as heart rate monitors, accelerometers and GPS trackers will provide immediate data on physiological responses, movement patterns and performance metrics. This paper intends to examine the impact of biometric sensors concerning physical training and analyze its use, benefits, and challenges. In addition, the paper discusses the potential of biometric sensors to optimize training methods, improve performance, prevent injuries, and personalize training programs, addressing challenges of data interpretation, privacy concerns, and barriers a it deals with redemption. By analyzing previous research and case studies, this paper provides valuable insights into the use of biometric sensors in physical training and highlights future directions for research and development.
