Polar presents a smart shirt with built-in GPS

Sooner or later wearables are becoming commonplace, not only on wearers' wrists, but they are also becoming a device in clothing, at least in the type of garments in which you can get a performance from this technology. A year ago, I informed you about the launch of a smart shirt had launched on the market, a shirt made with silver microsensors that allowed us to control heart rate, stress level, calories burned, number of steps ... Now it is the Polar firm that has presented a new smart shirt at CES called Polar Team Pro.

The Polar Team Pro T-shirt is ideal for all those people who need to know at all times what happens in their body when they are training, to be able to almost correct certain habits at a given moment. This shirt integrates a heart rate monitor incorporated into the fabric, which monitors our vital signs every second, but also incorporates a GPS with motion sensor on the back of the neck and with which it is able to measure the speed, the distance traveled, the route taken, the acceleration in certain sections ...

This shirt is designed for professionals who make their physical activity their way of life, since it allows the coach to analyze at all times the performance and effort made, as well as the time necessary for recovery, accelerations, pulsations ... This sensor GPS, like the heart rate monitor, works wirelessly, so it is not necessary to mount and dismount them every time we want to obtain the information they store and can be consulted live while physical activity is carried out. This shirt, which not available yet, will arrive in March, will not be for sale to the general public, rather, the firm will distribute it only to sports teams and organizations.
