“…It has been reported that injury prevention is an important component of training that coaches cannot measure [151]. WT in sports is not only used for performance tracking or improvement but also for determining and preventing athlete injury incidence [151][152][153][154]. By providing real-time physiological data to athletes and coaches (compared to laboratorybased standard evaluations), WT allows for the development of accurate treatment plans and customized training programs to potentially reduce and mitigate injuries [155][156][157].…”

Wearable technology is increasingly vital for improving sports performance through real-time data analysis and tracking. Both professional and amateur athletes rely on wearable sensors to enhance training efficiency and competition outcomes. However, further research is needed to fully understand and optimize their potential in sports. This comprehensive review explores the measurement and monitoring of athletic performance, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and overall performance optimization using body wearable sensors. By analyzing wearables’ structure, research articles across various sports, and commercial sensors, the review provides a thorough analysis of wearable sensors in sports. Its findings benefit athletes, coaches, healthcare professionals, conditioners, managers, and researchers, offering a detailed summary of wearable technology in sports. The review is expected to contribute to future advancements in wearable sensors and biometric data analysis, ultimately improving sports performance. Limitations such as privacy concerns, accuracy issues, and costs are acknowledged, stressing the need for legal regulations, ethical principles, and technical measures for safe and fair use. The importance of personalized devices and further research on athlete comfort and performance impact is emphasized. The emergence of wearable imaging devices holds promise for sports rehabilitation and performance monitoring, enabling enhanced athlete health, recovery, and performance in the sports industry.

“…The potential benefits are manifold -enhanced athletic performance, reduced risk of recurrent ankle injuries, and improved overall quality of life for the athletes. Such insights are invaluable not only for the athletes themselves but also for sports medicine professionals, physiotherapists, and basketball coaches who are instrumental in the rehabilitation and training processes (23,24). Ultimately, this research could lead to more targeted, effective treatment and training strategies, catering specifically to the needs of basketball players with chronic ankle instability, thereby ensuring their continued engagement in the sport and enhancing their overall well-being.…”

Background: Ankle sprains, which often lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI), are common within the young, athletic population, particularly among basketball players. Rehabilitation programs frequently employ hop stabilization and balance training to mitigate the complications associated with CAI. This research was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of these two training approaches in improving disability and balance in affected individuals. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate and contrast the impact of hop stabilization versus balance training on disability and balance in basketball players with CAI. Methods: The randomized clinical trial was conducted at Ranger’s Teaching Hospital in Lahore, targeting young basketball players aged between 25 to 35 years with a history of recurrent ankle sprains and at least 8 months of playing experience. Through a non-probability convenient sampling technique, the participants were randomized into two groups: Group A underwent 6 weeks of hop stabilization training in addition to general training, while Group B participated in 6 weeks of balance training coupled with their general training regimen. The efficacy of these interventions was quantified using the Star Excursion Balance Test, Functional Ankle Disability Index, Functional Ankle Ability Measure questionnaire, and Multiple Single Leg Hop Stabilization Test (MSLHST). Results: Post-training assessments within groups indicated significant enhancements in disability and balance scores, with p-values below 0.05, suggesting notable improvements. However, when comparing the two groups, the Functional Ankle Ability Measure, Ankle Disability Index, and Star Excursion Balance Test showed no significant differences, with p-values exceeding 0.05. Notably, the MSLHST exhibited a significant contrast, with Group B showing a mean score decrease from 10.7857 to 5.7857, reflecting a 46% improvement, whereas Group A displayed a reduction in mean score from 13.625 to 11.7, a 14% enhancement, resulting in a significant p-value of 0.0289. Conclusion: The study concluded that balance training surpasses hop stabilization training in terms of efficacy, significantly improving balance and reducing disability in basketball players with chronic ankle instability.
