“…Accordingly, the use of foot-mounted IMUs to evaluate and monitor movement performance could be extended as a skill specific coaching aid [ 34 ]. Wearable IMUs might serve as a potential solution to the time and labour-intensive monitoring processes [ 24 ] faced by practitioners in the current study.…”

“…Furthermore, they discussed the importance of identifying what key stake holders view as potential barriers so that these can be alleviated where possible. Similarly, Wylde et al, [ 24 ] sought to uncover coaches’ perceptions towards using wearable technology. Emphasising the importance of this in enabling coaches concerns to be addressed, which could in turn enhance the desired synergetic relationship between practitioners and coaches.…”

“…Methods of performance analysis have recently evolved from being reliant on time-consuming notational analysis to the use of advanced technology and automated systems capable of effortlessly collecting and processing large quantities of real-time data [21][22][23]. Accordingly, utilising technology can help to overcome the constraints faced by manual methods of data collection [24].…”

This study aimed to identify professional soccer practitioners’ perceptions of the application of performance analysis technology within a single academy club. Secondary aims were to understand the importance that practitioners place on monitoring technical and tactical player characteristics, current practices, and barriers to implementing wearable technology. Utilising a mixed method design, forty-four professional soccer academy practitioners (Age = 32 ± 5.8; Years of experience = 8.5 ± 6.2) completed an online survey intended to examine present trends, professional practices, and perceptions regarding the monitoring of technical and tactical metrics. Frequency and percentages of responses for individual items were calculated. Subsequently, eleven participants who were directly involved with the monitoring of players were recruited to participate in a semi-structured interview. Interview data was transcribed and analysed using a combination of deductive and inductive approaches to identify key themes. The main findings across both phases of the study were that (1) technical and tactical metrics are monitored more frequently in matches (Technical: 89%; tactical: 91%) than training (Technical: 80%; Tactical 64%), predominantly due to time constraints and staffing numbers. Accordingly, practitioners believe that it would be beneficial to have an automated way of tracking technical (79%) and tactical (71%) metrics and would consider using a foot-mounted IMU to do so (technical (68%) and tactical (57%)). (2) Monitoring technical and tactical metrics is beneficial to assist with player development and to enrich feedback provision (3) Key stake holders, coaches and players should be informed of the relevance and rationale for monitoring. (4) For successful implementation and continued uptake, the information delivered needs to be both meaningful and easy to understand. Findings suggest that although participants appreciate the need to collect technical and tactical metrics, they are keen to ensure that wearable-derived data does not replace experiential and contextual knowledge. Accordingly, practitioners need to work closely with coaches to determine the contexts in which metrics may or may not prove useful. However, as the sample comprised of participants from a single academy, further studies including more practitioners are warranted. Likewise, future research could also extend to include academy soccer players perceptions too.

“…If the technology is intended to be used for injury-related applications, then it should additionally build upon established causal relationships, be applicable without any laboratory-based inputs, and be informed by specific guidelines such as individual- or population-based normative boundaries, thresholds, or trends [ 97 ]. Researchers and manufacturers should not forget the context in which the technology is to be applied and the needs and preferences of the user (e.g., athlete and coach) [ 98 ]. Finally, we should assess not only the metric itself but also the consequences of prescribing changes in that metric, especially when the metric being used relies on average relationships rather than a direct measure of physiological and/or biomechanical loads.…”

E-textiles have emerged as a fast-growing area in wearable technology for sports and fitness due to the soft and comfortable nature of textile materials and the capability for smart functionality to be integrated into familiar sports clothing. This review paper presents the roles of wearable technologies in sport and fitness in monitoring movement and biosignals used to assess performance, reduce injury risk, and motivate training/exercise. The drivers of research in e-textiles are discussed after reviewing existing non-textile and textile-based commercial wearable products. Different sensing components/materials (e.g., inertial measurement units, electrodes for biosignals, piezoresistive sensors), manufacturing processes, and their applications in sports and fitness published in the literature were reviewed and discussed. Finally, the paper presents the current challenges of e-textiles to achieve practical applications at scale and future perspectives in e-textiles research and development.
