How to protect sensors used on atheletes? I'm working on a project were we are trying to attach accelerometers to soccer players and capture various aspects of movement data.  Breadboarded circuits are coming along nicely and I'm now looking for how to best protect sensors we can mount on players.  (All wire at the moment unfortunately - BT next.)

Although I can find ways to protect the sensor for sensor damaging impact (we are essentially interested in player impacts with the ball or ground) there are other aspects of protection I'm not sure about.  Any recommendations on how to protect from moisture without increasing bulk too much, minimizing cushioning which could affect the data and of course avoid adding anything that could injure the player?  I have come across other examples of movement studies, but they have been by musicians or other situations that do not include outdoor weather and sweaty bodies.
The only way this is ever done is with some kind of product casing. You can buy pre-fab cases for electronic projects, but to get something really slick and appropriate for your purpose, you're gonna have to make something yourself. You might look into 3D printing.

Something like this might work: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8601

For protection from salt-water, this product is worth a look: http://www.corrosionx.com/

There's some different products there, but I've seen a demo of that product, where we ran an entire RC airplane system, servos, motors, and receiver, UNDER WATER.
