A British start-up called Impulse has developed a pair of riding shorts that employ electoral sensors and artificial intelligence to shape and stimulate cyclists' muscles to improve performance.The company also plans to utilise the same technology for other activities too, such as for runners and gym-goers. Devon Lewis, a PHD student in neuroscience at the University of Southampton, designed the shorts that emit tiny electric current into the wearer's hamstring muscles and quads to improve their cycling technique.

===========================================================

New AI 'smart' cycling shorts equipped with sensors and wires that emit electrical currents into rider's muscles to improve performance have been unveiled by a UK start-up.

While technology had previously been used to enhance other areas of cycling equipment, riding shorts have remained largely unchanged, except for perhaps additional padding and improved materials.

But now, a British start-up called Inpulse has developed a pair of riding shorts that employ electoral sensors and artificial intelligence to shape and stimulate cyclists' muscles while they are on the move, The Times has reported.

The company also plans to utilise the same technology for other activities too, such as for runners and gym-goers.

I am guessing women will like this and not just for cycling... : )

No, but they ought to be!

Hmmm...
The new question will be:
“Is that a triple A battery in your pants, or are you glad to see me?”
