Heart rate monitors provide immediate feedback on how hard you are working out so that you can make adjustments to get the greatest benefit from your exercise. All exercisers can benefit from monitoring their heart rate during activity, enabling them to maintain fat-burning and aerobic target zones based on their goals.
Example: during a cardio vascular training session you could wear a heart rate monitor to then see how hard you are working to insure you’re doing the max your body can do and once your heart rate increases over the limit were you then think that you’re going to either pass out or clasp then slow down on what you’re doing and have a drink.

The driver must be able to enter and get out of the cockpit without it being necessary to open a door or remove any part of the car other than the steering wheel. From his normal seating position, with all seat belts fastened and whilst wearing his usual driving equipment, the driver must be able to remove the steering wheel and get out of the car within five seconds and then replace the steering wheel within a further five seconds.

If there is anything wrong then the team will be able to make improvements for the driver.
Equipment
New materials and design used in tennis rackets, skis, footballs, javelins, bicycles etc. improve control, speed and distance. Specialist clothing and footwear, including heat-reducing and lightweight materials and hydrodynamic full-body swimming suits, improve speed and endurance. All-weather surfaces, better drainage and roofed stadiums produce better playing conditions.
