World Cup Harness

Postby Curlie » Thu Jun 17, 2010 6:43 pm

What is the harness many of the players seem to be wearing under their shirts?

Been suggested to me it holds a monitor that sends their heart rate and blood pressure to the team doc during the game.

Ive been on FIFA's match centre during a few games and they report live stats including distance covered, so I think it will be some sort of GPS thing possibly combined with heart rate monitor.

If you're talking about the French players, I think that's how the uniform is designed.

Yeah it will be. Most players nowadays train with them on. In the process of buying one myself. The one I'm getting is a Polar one.

Garmin Forerunners are really good if you're planning on doing any running (the ones with heart rate monitor and strap) - I've used two over the years. The newer ones have a better GPS receiver though, excellent for stats geeks (which I admit to being)

No, don't think so. Abidal for example isn't wearing one tonight and I have seen other players in other teams wearing them.

Mmm, I'll have to look harder then. I honestly haven't noticed.


Sorry Dronny, don't know what I was thinking.
