Research 3

Now that i have seen that it is possible to create a muscle monitoring fabric, i have decided to research into the benefits it can have for an athlete  i talked earlier about how professional athletes spend years perfecting their movement so they can get the most out of their body. I found a video on YouTube not solely around 
this but makes the point quite nicely, and i feel that i can be a good advert for the product.



In this video Cristiano Ronaldo is pitted against a sprinter to see who is quicker, as well as this their body's are covered in sensors to measure their movement also they are surrounded by slow mo cameras to capture their body movements. What I've learnt from the video and what they talk about after both Ronaldo and the sprinter have done a 25m dash, is the difference in technique. The sprinters is flawless and his whole body is moving in unison which he has perfected over his career, where as Ronaldo's technique is very sloppy he almost has to think about running where to the sprinter it comes naturally. From this video I believe you could show how a product like the one i want to advertise could be used to improve an athlete, even one like Ronaldo who you don't see as needing improvement.
