Abstract
A system for monitoring biometric data of an athlete participating in a sporting event comprises at least one biometric sensor carried by the athlete. The sensor senses biometric data for the athlete and delivers the data to a transmitter located on the athlete. The transmitter automatically transmits the biometric data to a wireless telephony network as the athlete participates in the sporting event. The wireless telephony network, in turn, delivers the biometric data to a processing server via the Internet. The processing server receives the biometric data and transforms the data into processed biometric data for the athlete. The processed biometric data for the sporting event is available to the athlete or other authorized individuals in real time and/or any time following the sporting event at a computer connected to the Internet.
