Since 2020, KINEXON Sports has been providing information and statistics at the Men’s and Women’s EHF EURO, and this year is no different. But you may notice something new with the handball tracking this time.

Wearable sensors for athletes need to be light, comfortable and track player movements, but how light can they be? It may surprise you how much KINEXON PERFORM IMU or LPS wearables actually 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. 

Savino Del Bene Scandicci is among Italy’s best women’s volleyball teams and competes on an international level, in the highest European competitions.

Let’s dive in.
