A lot of observant football fans may have been wondering; why do these players put on these vests that looks just like a lady's Bra? Not to worry, you are not the only one asking yourself that question, and I'm going to help you answer it and settle your curiosity.






The truth about these vests is that they might look like skin-tight sports bras, but the fact is that they are athletic vests that were designed to hold GPS trackers, needed for monitoring a player's actions during games. The reason why those vests are skintight is that there is a the pod, which is slipped into the back of the vest, needed for acquiring data and can monitor the performance of the player.
So you know, there are a lot of footballers who wear this sports bra under their jersey during matches, or during their training sessions. In big football clubs, these vests are used for the test matches, friendliees, or during training to record the movements of a player on the pitch and to get physical data.

This sports vest has a tracker that can monitor a player's vitals during a football match, training, or friendly. These vitals includes the player's speed, acceleration, heart rate, and it is what analysts use to derive the heat map of a player during a match, and displayed in form of a graph for viewers to see on the screen.
For the shape that looks like a bra, it is designed that way so that players' performance do not get interruptted, and also help to protect the strap from falling off.
Beyond the GPS system on these vests, there are also accelerometers and gyroscopes placed within the pod. These helps to provide information on how hard sportsmen accelerate and decelerate during games, and how much strained their muscles are when in action.
According to a popular sports analyst, Phillips explains that these vests basically just helps to tell the story of where the players were, where they are going, how their body feels, and where they need to go.
