Global Insights on Wearable Technology Adoption by Coaches: Determinants of Current Use, Decision Making, and Future Intention To Use
All coaches in this study used some wearable technology to individualize training procedures. Coaches "somewhat agree" that wearables have an effect on their decision-making.

Coaches expressed a need for demonstrable results and they must perceive wearables as useful.
