Researchers from the Netherlands are testing haptic sports clothing on rowers. The garments use tactile signals to prompt wearers to optimize their rowing technique or use specific muscle groups. Eventually, sensors will measure the speed at which rowers move and how well they coordinate their leg and body movements. The researchers have also designed a vest for speed-skaters with vibrating pads at the shoulder and hip, which provides instant feedback on skaters' movements.
