System for monitoring a physiological parameter of players engaged in a sporting activity
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a physiological parameter of players engaged in a sporting activity, the system comprising:
- a plurality of reporting units, wherein each reporting unit has a plurality of sensing devices arranged to measure the physiological parameter of an individual player and generate parameter data;
a controller that receives said parameter data transmitted from each reporting unit, wherein the controller processes said parameter data to calculate a parameter result; and
, a signaling device that provides an alert when said parameter result exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system for monitoring a physiological parameter of players engaged in a sporting activity. The system includes a plurality of reporting units, a controller, and a signaling device. The reporting unit has an arrangement of sensing devices that measure the physiological parameter of an individual player and generate parameter data. The controller receives the parameter data transmitted from each reporting unit and then processes the parameter data to calculate a parameter result. When the parameter result exceeds a predetermined value, the controller communicates with a signaling device that provides an alert to sideline personnel to monitor the player(s) in question. The system also includes a remote storage device for holding historical data collected by the system which permits subsequent analysis. The system can monitor a number of player physiological parameters, including the acceleration of a player'"'"'s body part that experiences an impact and the temperature of each player.
