Adidas and Polar Echo combine a heart monitor with speed and distance monitoring equipment in training attire. A heart monitor attaches to a shirt, sports bra or woman's top made with special fibers to enable it to record an athlete's heart rate. The information is sent to a wrist-mounted running computer for reading on the go. The wrist computer also can gather information on running distance and speed from a Polar Stride Sensor placed in a running shoe. After the workout the data can then be downloaded from the wrist computer for analysis.
