How Much Do KINEXON PERFORM GPS PRO Wearable Sensors Weigh?

One of the most important criteria for wearable sensors is that they should be lightweight and comfortable, while still providing the sports data analytics that coaches and trainers need. KINEXON PERFORM GPS Pro wearables fit the bill, but how light are they, really? Let’s find out. 

Wearable GPS tracking devices for sports are popular for collecting information on players.

Wearable sensors that are lightweight and comfortable can reduce the burden and distraction on the athlete, allowing them to focus on their activity and enjoy it more. Heavy or bulky wearables can interfere with the athlete’s movement, posture, and balance, which can affect their performance and increase the risk of injury. 

Wearables also need to provide the sports data analytics that coaches and trainers need to help their athletes optimize their training and performance. Therefore, wearables that barely there,” but still provide the most metrics enable bot men and women athletes to train smarter and perform better.

How Much Does a KINEXON PERFORM GPS Pro Wearable Sensor Weigh?

What may surprise you the most is that the wearable sensor itself only weighs 51 grams, which is equivalent to two double‑A batteries (among other things). And it fits easily into the waistband of a pair of shorts, or a pocket sewn into a sports vest or bra.

What’s even better is that coaches can now save 20 – 30 minutes per session because KINEXON PERFORM GPS Pro has a fully automated workflow. No wires, no cables, and you get access to the data from anywhere at anytime. It can be used for both men’s and women’s teams.
