|~\lceil During the exercise period, in the face of heat and tiredness, most people move forward until their pupils can no longer support it at all. However, when a person suffers from stumbling or heat stroke, it may lead to loss of faith and even death in severe cases." Carl JAMES, Research Assistant Professor of the Department of Physical Education, Legacy and Health at HKBU, who is responsible for the project, said that the survival rate from heat stroke is about 70%, which means that about three adults may die as a result. Scientifically tell "when the body should stop"
Liu Yongsong, a professor in the Department of Physical Education and Health Studies of the University of Hong Kong, said that it is of course a good thing for athletes to have the will to never let go, but the wind comes with it at the same time. "Through multiple physiological signals such as blood history, heartbeat, body temperature, and dehydration, there is a complete set of information for the athletes, the main prescription and the medical treatment system, and scientifically inform when to stop. Instead of being far away, he saw that he was only 400 meters away, and even though the anchor had sent a desperate signal, he was still allowed to die.
Carl introduced that the current Fu sensors used in the project include swallowable temperature measurement "pills", chest straps to monitor heart rate, walking sensors on shoes, etc., and smart watches used to record lutetium speed, position and transmit data, which will be sent and displayed on the flag board of the main identification unit, and the screen will be like a circle to show the race route, the position of each athlete will be reflected in real time, and there will be information such as heart rate, speed, core body temperature and other information next to it, the staff can see at a glance.
Liu Yongsong added that the tie also resounded about the competition environment, "Na is afraid that only in the 400-meter sports field, the temperature of the sun and the sun can be two degrees different, and this is very important for athletes to make strategies." If it is 42.195 km of Mara
There is also a weather station that can be placed in the sports venue Whether it's a sailing race in Marseille or a football stadium in Toulouse, you can accurately know the real-time temperature and related weather conditions with just a click on the watch panel.
HKBU's technology has been applied internationally
The technology developed by HKBU has been adopted by the World Sailing Federation and the World Triathlon Federation, which has been commissioned by HKBU for a four-year project to further develop applications in the water environment and rigorously test the thermal stress specifications of the cranes, which it plans to fully apply at the 2028 Los Angeles Moraine regatta.
As for the latter's three-top manned event, CarI said that the monitoring situation can be used to know whether the technical system is in the water, on the bike, and whether it can work smoothly during the running period, and if it is successful, it can be changed Mobilize and participate in the activities of athletes with disabilities, so that the top day covers a wider area. Yes, they need to pay close attention to the group of fever diseases.
It is expected that 200 runners will be monitored for the Hong Kong Marathon next year
The global climate is changing, and extreme turbulence weather has a greater impact on sports safety, including familiar diseases. Mr Lau pointed out that apart from elite athletes, sports safety for the general public is also of paramount importance. The Hong Kong Marathon, which is expected to be held in February next year with tens of thousands of participants, will be monitored by 200 HKBU staff, students and alumni runners, and it is hoped that the team will further expand its acceptance in 2026 to transform scientific research achievements and benefit the public. In addition, the project was exhibited at this year's InnoCarnival to showcase the latest developments and achievements to the public - Remote sensing temperature measurement "pill" - A variety of different temperature sensors Sweat lactate sensing patches were studied
Elite athletes often win or lose by a fraction of a second, so Carl emphasises that the sensors used in the project must have the three basic requirements of non-comprehensive, coincidental and real-time information, and the water sports need to have the function of water wetting. Therefore, HKBU has collaborated with different technology start-ups to improve the instrument and introduce new functions to continuously improve the system. Another project specializes in the development of a new type of sensor, which can accurately assess the core rolling temperature without swallowing the temperature measurement "pill", and the system is more suitable for the needs
In terms of data visualization, Carl said that the project has realized a series of real-time data through the instrument board for responsible map monitoring, and hopes to go one step further in the future, so that everyone can obtain their own relevant information in real time through the smart hand
In addition, HKBU has collaborated with various technology start-ups and overseas universities to develop new sensors to detect more valuable biomarkers. For example, Carr said that some sports are particularly interested in seeing real-time blood counts, "because it can tell you what the ingredients of the drinks you drink during the event period, how many grapes you should put in it, etc."
Utensil.
Lactic acid is also a very interesting biomarker that can counter muscle fatigue, and some sports technology companies are developing sweat-sensing patches for athletes
We hope to provide the gold standard for physiological indicators for the industry
As the University hopes to provide the industry with the gold standard for different physiological indicators through different research, "these prototype products can be tested under a series of different conditions, and related companies and enterprises can provide technological solutions", Liu Yongsong believes that Hong Kong has been interested in promoting the professionalisation and industrialisation of education in recent years, and sports science will definitely make an important contribution. " Exercise science provides objective scientific standards and guidance, and it is not hard drifting. For example, at what temperature and at what distance should a water station be set up for use and cooling, and the science of guidance can continue to produce more professional advice related to industrial development." This will help further enhance the professionalism of Hong Kong's sports projects, and in the long run, nurture more professionals to support the development of Hong Kong's sports industry
Symptoms and characteristics of various febrile diseases
Normal; Pale complexion, profuse sweating, moisture and/or electricity generated after severe mouth exercise weakness and weakness; Severe symptoms of headache, heartache, vomiting, and high fever in the head Dizziness, fainting Heat stroke, high fever and sweating: the head is swollen and dry, the breath is urgent, and the exhaler can start to stop working: it can be shallow; Headaches, heartaches, and more and more seizures; Mental life, immediate diagnosis and treatment of confusion or loss of orientation; Loss of consciousness or coma

Real-time monitoring of athlete counts not only ensures safety but also helps to raise standards, tailor-made training courses for elite athletes, and ensures that they are in the best shape for the competition. Mr Lau mentioned that HKBU's newly installed environmental test chamber, one of the best in Asia, can simulate the nasty conditions at an altitude of 6,000 metres, and turn on the temperature of the flute at -20^(@)C-20^{\circ} \mathrm{C} the extreme 50^(@)C50^{\circ} \mathrm{C} , combined with physiological analysis, which can help athletes prepare for the high altitude and extreme high and low temperatures
Keep track of your sweat loss Make sure you're hydrated properly
"Elite athletes do little differences on a daily basis, and sometimes decide whether or not to get a cheat, and that's where technology can be integrated, to mobilize the right amount of hydration, and to provide them with instructions to show their best condition at the competition." Carl said, for example, that by sensing crying, you can know how much sweat you lose and how much water to drink to stay hydrated. Knowing the amount of sweat can also make different preparations, and this athlete also loses a lot of baskets; The other may not be so much, and their drink needs are different
Carl emphasised that a scientific understanding of an athlete's body during training can help to understand what the results of their training are and allow coaches to plan more closely for the rest of their training, "For example, when we go to the gym, what the weight of the weight should be lifted in order to get the desired effect, a series of data from these sensors can tell us whether we are at the right level of training." When the information is easier to understand and systematize, it will help the athlete to ensure that he or she can achieve the goal of each training session and maximize his performance, while at the same time holding the rabbit to the opposite effect
Carl also said that in some endurance events, when the temperature is exceeded 35^(@)C35^{\circ} \mathrm{C} , the athlete's performance may drop by three or four percent. "So in hot weather, the outcome doesn't necessarily depend on who is the best fit, but who is less depressed." He mentioned that the University has set up a new environment test box and various items Sweat effectively in order to better regulate the temperature and cope with the uncomfortable feeling, so that person has a better chance of winning the race
It can be extended to workplace applications to protect the health of construction workers
While the current research work of the HKBU team is focused on sports, Carl points out that the whole set of monitoring techniques used in the project can be translated into a wide range of occupations and scenarios that face the challenge of hyperthermia, such as construction workers, firefighters wearing a lot of gear, and even military personnel. If properly applied, it is expected to achieve a better balance between the progress of construction works and the safety of workers, and will also help train firefighters and military personnel to adapt to the hot environment in a more scientific way and help them cope with their tasks
Scientifically train firefighters to adapt to the heat
One of the benefits of doing this to elite athletes is that many of their responses are quite extreme, and that means that when our skills and knowledge are applied to elite athletes, they can also be applied to other settings." For example, in the construction industry, there is currently a heat warning in Hong Kong to remind owners and spectators to take appropriate precautions against heat stroke in different situations
"But construction companies want to be more productive, and if they need to shut down work, they can have a system that can monitor their employees' enthusiasm throughout the whole process and scientifically inform them how much the pace of work can be slowed down and still be within a safe range. Maintaining the construction at a slower and safer pace also helped the project to be delivered on time." He believes that many members of the construction industry will be particularly interested in similar monitoring technologies.
Returning to sports, Carl shared that the team will also work with medical staff and management agencies to help identify potential risks in different sports and develop countermeasures. "Of course, it is good for each participant to be able to wear the whole set of sensors, but there are inevitably challenges such as cost and a lot of data loss. Therefore, we can select a small number of people to participate in different movements and different groups in different movements, and use the data to test the current safety guidelines or regulations to see if it can provide adequate protection and security
