Wearing Electronic Performance and Tracking System Devices in Association Football: Potential Injury Scenarios and Associated Impact Energies

Abstract: Abstract:In competitive association football, wearing electronic performance and tracking system (EPTS) devices was approved in 2015. Safety concerns regarding their use have been raised; however, research and understanding is limited. Recently, FIFA has taken steps to assess possible injury mechanisms associated with wearing EPTS devices. This study identifies potential injury scenarios in football and associated impact energies. EPTS device use was first surveyed by questionnaire and semi-structured intervie… Show more

“…This location is non obtrusive to athletes in both training and competitive settings. Research was piloted by Dunn et al [50] to assess the safety of players wearing electronic performance tracking device (EPTS) placed near the T3 and T4 area in association football. Although the research focused on football, after a questionnaire and semi-structured interview it was highlighted that unexpected, backward falls onto the device was a common injury concern of industry experts.…”

“…Smart clothing technologies are used in player monitoring systems. The use of wearable electronic measurement devices was approved by FIFA in 2015 (Dunn et al, 2018). Smart clothing products such as gloves, socks, swimsuits, shorts, T-shirts, pants, leggings and bras are typically made of advanced textiles that contain interwoven circuits, sensors and additional hardware.…”

“…Finally, in GPS/GNSS satellite systems, based on GPS unit worn on their back by the players, an high number of measurements is possible, short installation time is needed but the wearability and size of GPS unit and accuracy of measured data are an issue and it is required to ensure satellite signal line of sight in stadium. Furthermore, EPTS systems based on devices worn on the back of players markedly increase impact energy experienced at the upper-back during falls [11]. Only the first type of EPTS is able to collect video streams of the match but not related to the referee point of view directly from the field of match.…”
