During and after sparring, the sensors provide detailed training reports

Allowing athletes to visually see their progress and calculate whether they are delivering a certain type of strike often enough.
When you take the total number of shots, their distribution, their speed, it creates a very detailed picture from which a coach can draw a lot of conclusions, Duquette says.
“Billy Walsh is a very smart, data-driven boxing coach. He found that the single biggest determinant of success in Olympic-style fighting is the time between attacks. The shorter the time between your attacks, the more likely you are to win,” Duquette says. “But to figure that out, boxers had to watch hundreds of hours of slow-motion video, frame by uae whatsapp number list frame, recording everything that happened. Our sensors record the millisecond timing of every punch thrown, and it’s all done automatically.”
Volleyball and Beach Volleyball
The Rio Olympics are the first Olympic Games in which volleyball teams can use a video recording of an episode if they believe the referee made a mistake. The second referee, in turn, compares the recording with what was broadcast by TV channels. Replays are then broadcast on large screens in the stadium.
"The audience will be waiting with bated breath," said Rio 2016 volleyball manager Christiana Figueira. "We expect a lot of screaming and a lot of applause."
Swimming
Swimmers, even at the highest level, often lose count when trying to calculate the distance they have covered. At the current Olympics, they are helped by special digital counters that mark how many times an athlete has swum along the lane.
The sensors are located underwater, near the place where the swimmer turns. When the athlete touches the side, they register one section swum. The first such system was used last year at the World Swimming Championships in Kazan. As the organizers expect, the counters will help the athletes concentrate on the swimming itself, and not on the counting.
