In top class sports, performances of athletes are very close. Small improvements in technique can make the difference between winners and losers. A combination of behavioral analysis and physiological data can play a key role in improving sports performance and developing innovative training tools. It is a challenge to incorporate modern measuring equipment into the daily training of athletes. The measurements should not disturb the athlete and coach and in the same time should record all data necessary. Measurement equipment should therefore be small, wireless and user friendly. Several sports face this challenge.
