This review paper discusses the trends and projections for wearable technology in the consumer sports sector (excluding professional sport). Analyzing the role of wearable technology for different users and why there is such a need for these devices in everyday lives. It shows how different sensors are influential in delivering a variety of readings that are useful in many ways regarding sport attributes. Wearables are increasing in function, and through integrating technology, users are gathering more data about themselves. The amount of wearable technology available is broad, each having its own role to play in different industries. Inertial measuring unit (IMU) and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensors are predominantly present in sport wearables but can be programmed for different needs. In this review, the differences are displayed to show which sensors are compatible and which ones can evolve sensor technology for sport applications.
这篇综述论文讨论了可穿戴技术在消费类运动领域（不包括专业运动）的趋势和预测。分析了可穿戴技术对不同用户的作用，以及为什么日常生活中如此需要这些设备。它展示了不同的传感器如何在提供各种读数方面发挥作用，这些读数在运动属性方面有很多用处。可穿戴设备的功能不断增加，通过集成技术，用户可以收集更多关于自身的信息。可穿戴技术的种类繁多，每种技术在不同行业都有其独特的作用。惯性测量单元（IMU）和全球定位系统（GPS）传感器主要存在于运动可穿戴设备中，但可以根据不同的需求进行编程。在这篇综述中，展示了这些差异，以说明哪些传感器是兼容的，哪些传感器可以为运动应用发展传感器技术。
