Wearable sensors systems requirements

Every sport will have very specific requirements but, in general, the following three technical areas need to be considered for any wearable sensor system used for sports performance. 

The sensors employed in wearable body sensor network systems can be divided into active sensors and passive sensors. There is ambiguity in the classification, and many authors are using the other way around. In the biomedical measurement field, however, the definition of sensor type follows the convention of other electronic instrumentation fields the active sensors are those sensors that require an external power source to convert the input into a usable output signal, while passive sensors are those that intrinsically provide their own energy or derive energy from the phenomenon being...
