“…Eight professional tennis players participated to this study. We should emphasize that finding eligible participants on this level is extremely challenging as also presented by References [ 11 , 33 , 42 ]. In addition, previous research demonstrates more than 7 participants are optimal for small scale user testing [ 46 ].…”

Sports technology enhances athletes’ performance by providing feedback. However, interaction techniques of current devices may overwhelm athletes with excessive information or distract them from their performance. Despite previous research, design knowledge on how to interact with these devices to prevent such occasions are scarce. To address this gap, we introduce subtle displays as real-time sports performance feedback output devices that unobtrusively present low-resolution information. In this paper, we conceptualize and apply subtle displays to tennis by designing Tactowel, a texture changing sports towel. We evaluate Tactowel through a remote user study with 8 professional tennis players, in which they experience, compare and discuss Tactowel. Our results suggest subtle displays could prevent overwhelming and distracting athletes through three distinct design strategies: (1) Restricting the use excluding duration of performance, (2) using the available routines and interactions, and (3) giving an overall abstraction through tangible interaction. We discuss these results to present design implications and future considerations for designing subtle displays.

“…This perspective focuses on design aspects and often employs a constructivist stance, involving potential users in validating the proposed design idea. Two papers use a research-through-design approach [56], [60], while one employs design workshop activities [59]. One paper uses interviews with potential users [54], one adopts observation and semistructured interviews [55], and one employs content analysis of online reviews of wearable devices [57].…”

This paper presents a literature review of humancomputer interaction works on wearable systems for sports. We selected a corpus of 57 papers and analyzed them through the grounded theory for literature review approach. We identified five themes across the papers: the different research perspectives, the type of sports and sportspeople, the roles of wearables in sports, their wearability, and the different types of feedback. These themes helped us in delineating opportunities for future research: the investigation of different form factors and types of feedback; the consideration of different sportspeople and collaborative tasks; the need of pushing the boundaries of the sports domain; the exploration of the evolution of sports; the interconnection of different devices; and the increase of methodological rigor.

“…We conducted in-depth interviews with 6 elite coaches (All male, Mage= 42.6 Sage=8.9). Elite coaches train high performance professional players, who play for national teams [8]. For example, one of these coaches was a member of International Tennis Federation, who trained with world famous Raphael Nadal.…”

Wearable sport technologies and activity trackers help sportspeople by providing physiological information on their performance. However, professional sportspeople find this information irrelevant due to their high-performance training.
