System and method for evaluating and providing treatment to sports participants

A method for evaluating and treating a sports player, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a system having a plurality of reporting units, each reporting unit having an array of sensors to monitor physiological parameters of the player, the system further having a controller unit and a signaling device;
• transmitting data regarding the physiological parameters from the reporting units to the controller unit;
• calculating a parameter result with the controller unit and comparing said result to a predetermined threshold;
• sending an alert from the controller unit to the signaling device when the parameter result exceeds the threshold;
• providing an evaluation protocol on the signaling device relating to the parameter result that exceeds the threshold;
• and,
• evaluating said player according to the evaluation protocol.

A system for monitoring physiological parameters of players engaged in a sports activity, the system comprising:

• a plurality of reporting units, each reporting unit being associated with an individual player and having at least one sensor that measures a physiological parameter of said player;
• a controller that receives said parameter data transmitted from each reporting unit, wherein the controller calculates a parameter result that defines an alert event when said parameter result surpasses a predetermined value;
• and,
• a signaling device that provides an alert upon the occurrence of an alert event, the signaling device having an interactive evaluation protocol to evaluate the player that experienced the alert event.
