Wearable technology is a very important modern trend in the field of exercise science
or human development. The emergence of health information technology has taken a
huge leap in the field of exercise science and it is highly critical that the various
aspects of the gym exercises that are done with the individuals on a daily day to day
basis uses a lot of technology inside the gym itself in order to help the person monitor
his vital signs and the development he or she is undergoing through the progression of
exercises (Sprint, Cook & Weeks, 2016). Exercises generally focus to improve the
strength, power and endurance of the person and it is highly important that the person
who is undergoing the exercise training must understand his skills and self-efficacy
that is associated with the entire process of self-development by the application of the
exercises. In the last two decades and especially in the last decade specifically – the
emergence of health information technology in the field of information and heath
science has revolutionized the very ideas how the instructor and the trainee is able to
understand the betterment of her cardiovascular and other health wellbeing parameters
being bettered through the application of the progressive resisted or any other type of
assisted-resisted exercises that are also used in therapeutic senses. In health care
industry as well, wearable technology has found a great use in the development of
fitness of the individuals to prevent the causation of the diseases from the beginning
itself (Ferguson et al., 2019). It is to be understood that globally, the health care has
taken a historical shift from the disease management approach to a disease prevention
approach and with the idea of ‘fitness empowerment’, came into the market – the very
applications of wearable technologies such as digital watches, fitness trackers, digital
belts came to daily day to day application (Feehan et al., 2018). Historically, the
treadmill monitors, the other external non wearable technologies measuring the VO2
max and HRmax as well as heart rate, respiratory rate and other vital signs were into
