“…Then, we performed for the first time the monitoring of RR and some kinematic parameters (i.e., linear acceleration and angular velocity) on two jockeys during an international gallop event. Indeed, many studies of wearable devices have been limited to investigations in restful conditions [ 27 , 28 ]; only in some cases, experiments were performed during physical activity [ 14 , 16 ], and investigations on jockeys and their physiological status are few and far between [ 2 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

“…They measured the HR and assessed the effort made by jockeys by measuring the lactate concentration underlining how this sport is demanding and is testified by the HR fluctuations according to the race distances. In [ 10 , 11 , 12 ], the authors presented global positioning systems to estimate both the riding posture of the jockeys and some kinematic parameters of the horse during training or racing (e.g., number of strides and speed). The authors highlighted how a jockey interacts with horse movement during riding.…”

In recent years, wearable devices for physiological parameter monitoring in sports and physical activities have been gaining momentum. In particular, some studies have focused their attention on using available commercial monitoring systems mainly on horses during training sessions or competitions. Only a few studies have focused on the jockey’s physiological and kinematic parameters. Although at a glance, it seems jockeys do not make a lot of effort during riding, it is quite the opposite. Indeed, especially during competitions, they profuse a short but high intensity effort. To this extend, we propose a wearable system integrating conductive textiles and an M-IMU to simultaneously monitor the respiratory rate (RR) and kinematic parameters of the riding activity. Firstly, we tested the developed wearable system on a healthy volunteer mimicking the typical riding movements of jockeys and compared the performances with a reference instrument. Lastly, we tested the system on two gallop jockeys during the “137∘ Derby Italiano di Galoppo”. The proposed system is able to track both the RR and the kinematic parameters during the various phases of the competition both at rest and during the race.

“…Wearable technologies and linear position transducers (LPT) are commonly employed for monitoring human and barbell kinetics (65,66), but neither have been used to quantify CF workout performance. The primary challenge is that no single technology is appropriate for all possible weightlifting, gymnastic, and monostructural exercises that might appear within a single CF workout.…”

The design of high-intensity functional training (HIFT; e. g., CrossFit®) workouts and targeted physiological trait(s) vary on any given training day, week, or cycle. Daily workouts are typically comprised of different modality and exercise combinations that are prescribed across a wide range of intensities and durations. The only consistent aspect appears to be the common instruction to maximize effort and workout density by either completing “as many repetitions as possible” within a time limit (e.g., AMRAP, Tabata) or a list of exercises as quickly as possible. However, because effort can vary within and across workouts, the impact on an athlete's physiology may also vary daily. Programming that fails to account for this variation or consider how targeted physiological systems interrelate may lead to overuse, maladaptation, or injury. Athletes may proactively monitor for negative training responses, but any observed response must be tied to a quantifiable workload before meaningful changes (to programming) are possible. Though traditional methods exist for quantifying the resistance training loads, gymnastic movements, and cardiorespiratory modalities (e.g., cycling running) that might appear in a typical HIFT workout, those methods are not uniform, and their meaning will vary based on a specific exercise's placement within a HIFT workout. To objectively quantify HIFT workloads, the calculation must overcome differences in measurement standards used for each modality, be able to account for a component's placement within the workout and be useful regardless of how a workout is commonly scored (e.g., repetitions completed vs. time-to-completion) so that comparisons between workouts are possible. This review paper discusses necessary considerations for quantifying various HIFT workout components and structures, and then details the advantages and shortcomings of different methods used in practice and the scientific literature. Methods typically used in practice range from being excessively tedious and not conducive for making comparisons within or across workouts, to being overly simplistic, based on faulty assumptions, and inaccurate. Meanwhile, only a few HIFT-related studies have attempted to report relevant workloads and have predominantly relied on converting component and workout performance into a rate (i.e., repetitions per minute or second). Repetition completion rate may be easily and accurately tracked and allows for intra- and inter-workout comparisons. Athletes, coaches, and sports scientists are encouraged to adopt this method and potentially pair it with technology (e.g., linear position transducers) to quantify HIFT workloads. Consistent adoption of such methods would enable more precise programming alterations, and it would allow fair comparisons to be made between existing and future research.

“…Despite the growing use of physiological monitoring for heat‐related illness in athletic and military settings (Davison et al., 2009 ; Friedl, 2018 ; Kiely et al., 2019 ), research is limited in the occupational setting (i.e., labor force). In occupational workers, the utilization of valid and reliable physiological monitoring devices is limited to research where direct measures of physiological responses such as ingestible gastrointestinal temperature capsules and heart rate monitoring are feasible (Notley et al., 2018 ).…”
