A NEW REVOLUTION IN SPORTS SCIENCE

Biometrics are revolutionizing sports. Advances in sports science, data science, and wearable technology have created new opportunities to improve competitive performance and gain an edge on the competition. The Sports Biometrics Conference is the only conference specifically focused on the analysis of biometrics data - the measurement and statistical analysis of an athlete's physical and behavioral characteristics - to improve athletic performance.

The conference will represent a chance for attendees to learn more about biometrics trends, tools, products, models, best practices and strategies, and an important opportunity to meet with their peers one on one, in person.

Learn how sports biometrics are enabling athletes to avoid injuries, rapidly enhance their skills, reach their peak performance, sustain it, and gain the mental edge to beat the competition. Sports executives and coaches will learn new techniques to assess talent, build teams, and win more games. The Sports Biometrics Conference will be held at the Westin San Francisco Airport Hotel on November 13-15 2016.

Wearable sports technology has expanded from simple biometric monitoring to the inclusion of perceptual and psychological aspects of professional team sports for enhancing performance.

This year, it is estimated that a total of 9,500 professional athletes on 500 teams in 35 sports and 35 countries are using wearable athletic devices. We are truly at the beginning of a revolution.

Wearable athletic devices are being seamlessly incorporated into the fabric of sports apparel, built into sports equipment like balls and bats, and worn by athletes as small devices attached to the body in a waistband or skin patch.

Sports teams of all kinds are quickly learning how wearable sports technology can improve their team’s performance and save players from injury and illness. Given the advantages gained by teams and athletes using this technology, it is likely to become a standard for all teams in the future.
