Garment with conductive thread exposed on both sides

A garment can be manufactured by bonding an adhesive to a first layer of fabric and a second layer of fabric. Holes are cut into each layer of fabric to accommodate the integration of sensors and a processing unit mount. Conductive thread embroidered onto a support layer is bonded to... Mad Apparel Inc

Adaptive calibration for sensor-equipped athletic garments

An exercise feedback system calibrates sensors of an athletic garment worn by an athlete while performing exercises. The sensors can record physiological data such as muscle activation. The system instructs the athlete to perform a calibration workout. The system generates a calibration value based on physiological data from the calibration... Mad Apparel Inc

Determining sensor data quality based on bioimpedance information

An exercise feedback system determines sensor data quality of an athletic garment based on bioimpedance data. The athletic garment includes sensors that can generate physiological data and bioimpedance data. An athlete wears the athletic garment while exercising. If the sensors have a stable contact with the skin of the athlete,... Mad Apparel Inc
