COOL! I was just watching the NFL combine and I heard that some of the prospects for this years drafts will be testing out new E-39 shirts from UnderArmor. Dubbed "the Tony Stark shirt" by Rich Eisen of the NFL Network referring to its "Iron Man" look, the E-39 is a shirt similar to all other under armor material shirts except this is equipped with an accelererometer as well as heart and breathing monitors. This is all contained in a small "puck" shaped device that's virtually weightless in the front middle of the shirt. The sensor pack contains a processor and and 2 gigs of storage. It can share the information it gathers via Bluetooth helping NFL personell determine the best draft picks for their team. The technology can also find small inefficiencies in body movements and help the athletes correct them. Eventually this product will be available to everyday people to help us scientifically see how out of shape we are and help us fix this problem. WOO!
