According to Dr. Nizam, the Polar RCX3 watch is used to measure the heart rate and the tools are able to provide immediate response after each match.

“The s3+stride sensor is fixed to the shoes to measure speed and distance, whilst the G5 GPS sensor acts to record the running pattern. The video recording of the match would also be done to match with the research results,” he said in a statement to the UMS Chancellery Department Media .

He added that two researches were conducted in the first two championship where Malaysia played host, the Malaysia Sevens followed by Asia Sevens Under 20 besides the Thailand Sevens Championship which was held at the White Elephant Nation on 21-22 September.

He will be continuing with his research on the Asia Tour of India Series in conjunction with the India Sevens Championship, 12-13 October, before closing with the Singapore Sevens Championship on 9-10 November 2013. – FL
