Pro Baseball Performance Straps

MLB Players Will Use the Whoop Strap to Chart Recovery Times

— December 13, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Whoop Strap is a wearable for high-performing athletes that helps them to track both their performance and get a better understanding of the recovery times that they need to get back to full strength. In order to prove their concept, the Whoop Strap was used by professional baseball players as part of a study on its efficacy.

After partnering with the MLB, Whoop gave its wearable wristband to 230 minor leaguers from nine different MLB organizations. These players wore the strap from June to November -- through virtually their entire season. According to data released by Whoop and the MLB, the straps recorded 3,321 workouts, 4,407 sleep cycles, and over 350 million heartbeats.

Some of the studies conclusions were startling, such as the observance that starting pitchers need only three full days of recovery, whereas conventional wisdom gives them four days.
Trend Themes
1. Wearable Performance Trackers - Creating advanced wearables that track performance and recovery can revolutionize sports training and optimize athlete performance.
2. Data-driven Athlete Monitoring - Utilizing data analytics and wearable technology in professional sports can provide valuable insights into athlete recovery and optimize training schedules.
3. Evidence-based Sport Science - Leveraging scientific studies and data analysis in sports can challenge conventional wisdom and lead to more effective training methodologies.
Industry Implications
1. Sports Technology - Developing innovative wearable devices for athletes can provide opportunities for companies to enter the growing sports technology market.
2. Data Analytics and Sports Science - Applying advanced data analytics and scientific research in the sports industry can create new business opportunities for consulting firms and technology companies.
3. Athlete Training and Performance Optimization - Providing specialized training programs and recovery solutions for professional athletes can be a lucrative niche in the sports performance industry.
