摘要：
The invention relates to a system and method for monitoring a physiological parameter of a player(s) from a larger group of players engaged in a contact sport. The system includes a helmet having a protective outer shell and an internal padding assembly, a portable signaling device, and a reporting unit positioned within the helmet. The reporting unit includes a sensor, a wireless transmitter and a control unit. The reporting unit has a flexible configuration to enable removable positioning within the helmet's internal padding assembly while maintaining overall comfort and fit of the helmet. The method involves monitoring impacts sustained by the specific player； computing impact results and comparing-impact results to at least one impact-related threshold； defining an alert event when an impact result surpasses a predetermined threshold value； sending an alert from the reporting unit to the signaling device； and providing an impact assessment protocol on the signaling device.
