Where does the HyperPulse sensor go on the athlete's body?

Upper back, just below the base of the neck and between the shoulder blades. Under the jersey, under any pads. Same general upper-back zone used by many athletic monitoring systems, but as a flat sensor instead of an elastic strap.

Why the upper back

Three reasons. First: under the jersey. Second: high enough on the torso to capture upper-body rotation cleanly. Third: away from wrists, ankles, and helmet areas that often trigger rule or safety questions. Durability and retention are still being validated on real hardware.

Sport-by-sport variations

Football: under shoulder pads, never in the helmet. Soccer: upper back under jersey. Basketball: upper back under jersey. Wrestling: practice-first; any competition use requires event, school, state association, and official approval.

Athlete comfort target

Thin, flat, and low-profile. Design goal: the athlete notices it less than a chest strap or vest. Adhesive and retention cadence are being validated before commercial launch.
