contents Biomechanical data acquisition in sports demands sub-millisecond synchronization across distributed body-worn sensor nodes. This study evaluates and characterizes the Enhanced ShockBurst (ESB) protocol from Nordic Semiconductor under controlled laboratory conditions for wireless, low-latency command broadcasting, enabling fast event updates in multi-node systems. Through systematic profiling of protocol parameters, including cyclic-redundancy-check modes, bitrate, transmission modes, and payload handling, we achieve a mean Device-to-Device (D2D) latency of 504.99 +- 96.89 us and a network-to-network core latency of 311.78 +- 96.90 us using a one-byte payload with retransmission optimization. This performance significantly outperforms Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which is constrained by a 7.5 ms connection interval, by providing deterministic, sub-millisecond synchronization suitable for high-frequency (500 Hz to 1000 Hz) biosignals. These results position ESB as a viable solution for time-critical, multi-node wearable systems in sports, enabling precise event alignment and reliable high-speed data fusion for advanced athlete monitoring and feedback applications.
