2023: Smart apparel deliveries begin

On December 26, 2023, Samara State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia (SamGMU) announced the start of deliveries of MioBody smart clothing for athletes. Smart suits are able to collect data on physical activity, which allows you to control the training process and personalize loads in order to achieve the best result.

Clothing was developed by specialists of the Competence Center of NTI "Bionic Engineering in Medicine" on the basis of SamGMU. The technology provides for the use of EMG sensors (electromyography) and feedback vibration motors. Sensors measure the strength of muscle tension during training and transmit information to a mobile device - a smartphone or tablet. The companion application then converts the data into understandable graphs, as well as visualizes the readings. Vibration motors inform the athlete if he does the exercises incorrectly.

MioBody Smart Clothing

The first sets of smart clothes went to the Baltic Federal University. Immanuel Kant (Kaliningrad) and the Central Research Institute of Robotics and Technical Cybernetics (St. Petersburg). Compression suits with sensors will be worn by basketball players and archers. It is noted that the use of the myocomplex is especially effective in cyclical sports, where technology plays a key role. During the performance of sports exercises, data from myographic sensors will be recorded and analyzed. The results obtained will help in the development of appropriate training methods and recommendations "for conducting exercises in the training process, taking into account the specifics of each sport."

Smart clothing developers are in talks with representatives of sports organizations developing running and pentathlon. A number of foreign organizations representing Belarus, Turkey, India and Iran became interested in the technology.[1]
