In order to improve their competi- tiveness, top athletes must make their bodies stronger and generate more pow- er to protect themselves and enhance their performance. Similarly, for modern people, with the changes of the environment, in the modern society, the human body needs to bear more and more pressure sources. Therefore, even if it is not a professional athlete, modern people must train themselves to make themselves to be better physically and psychologically, to become stronger to cope with ex- ternal pressures, to improve the quality of life, and to delay the effects of aging. Therefore, as wearable devices become more and more popular, more people can understand their own physical condition through wearable devices at any time, and generate more self-perception, which naturally enhances their motivation to fur- ther strengthen their physical fitness. When people are more and more motivated to train themselves, they will go to sports centers and commercial gyms, join and become the members, and even hire coaches to train them. When more and more people understand how sports science could influence their life quality, this trend will attract more private institutions to invest, to recruit talents, and form the team to provide a comprehensive services to build their core competitiveness.
