German Soccer Team -- amazing how closely they are monitored
"All of the players wear monitors in their cleats that track their mileage, movements, where they are on the field, when they stop and start, and all sorts of additional data. We track every player’s every heartbeat and keep and compare data from practice to practice and game to game. We repeat certain drills, and if someone is performing the same drill with a lower heart rate or faster speed, we know he’s improving. If he’s slower or his heart rate stays elevated, we monitor him to make sure that’s he’s not becoming overly fatigued or ill, then get him to push himself a bit more."
