Abstract

Wearable sport technologies and activity trackers help sportspeople by providing physiological information on their performance. However, professional sportspeople find this information irrelevant due to their high-performance training. They want these devices to provide real-time assistive feedback on their performance, despite the formidable limitations suggested by previous research on giving such feedback. On the other hand, sport coaches already give performance feedback to their sportspeople during their performance. We speculated that some of their approaches might give clues for designing activity trackers with useful real-time performance feedback. Consequently, we interviewed six elite tennis coaches to explore their approaches of communicating performance information to their players, during tennis games. In this paper, we discussed the findings by comparing them with related work and formed two design insights for giving real-time performance feedback that might lead to novel approaches for activity trackers.

设计下一代运动追踪器:来自精英网球教练的见解

可穿戴运动技术和活动追踪器通过提供运动员表现的生理信息来帮助他们。然而，专业运动员发现这些信息与他们的高性能训练无关。他们希望这些设备能够对他们的表现提供实时的辅助反馈，尽管之前的研究表明这种反馈存在巨大的局限性。另一方面，体育教练已经在运动员的表现中给他们的表现反馈。我们推测，他们的一些方法可能会为设计具有有用的实时性能反馈的活动跟踪器提供线索。因此，我们采访了六位优秀的网球教练，探讨他们在网球比赛中向球员传达表现信息的方法。在本文中，我们通过将这些发现与相关工作进行比较来讨论这些发现，并形成了两种提供实时性能反馈的设计见解，这可能会导致活动跟踪器的新方法。
