“…The HCI community has proposed solutions to increase the visibility of physical activity [7,8], and encouraged users to be more active through positive social reinforcement [8,19]. Researchers have also evaluated tracking systems specific to sports [3,14,20,21,25]. These studies are useful in providing an understanding of how specific metrics matter in individual sports.…”

Sports are the primary physical activity for over 52 million people in the United States, a vast majority of which are recreational athletes. The general tracking practices and needs of this population have not been studied. In this paper, we explore how recreational athletes use tracking technologies to track their sports performance. We conducted interviews with 25 recreational athletes that are runners, soccer, tennis, and basketball players. We found our participants engaged in supplementary physical activities like exercise and strength training to improve their sports performance. They used wearables and mobile applications to track general physical activity data. However, they were unable to track sport-specific techniques due to limitations of tracking technologies, and desired better tracking support for the same. We present design opportunities for future personal informatics tools to better support the needs of recreational athletes.

Presently, smart and connected wearable systems, such as on-body sensors and head-mounted displays, as well as other small form factor but powerful personal computers are rapidly pervading all areas of our life. Motivated by the opportunities that next-generation wearable intelligence is expected to provide, the goal of this work is to build a comprehensive understanding around some of the user-centric security and trust aspects of the emerging wearable and close-to-body wireless systems operating in mass events and under heterogeneous conditions. The paper thus intends to bring the attention of the research community to this emerging paradigm and discuss the pressing security and connectivity challenges within a popular consumer context. Our selected target scenario is that of a sports match, where wearable-equipped users may receive their preferred data over various radio access protocols. We also propose an authentication framework that allows for delivery of the desired content securely within the considered ecosystem.
