Abstract
Electrically conductive yarn, which includes an assembly of at least two resistive elements and a wrapping layer covering the assembly of the two resistive elements. Each resistive element includes an elastic core coated with metal. Also, a wearable article including a flexible support, at least one sensor for measuring a physiological parameter of the wearer of the wearable article, at least one of electrically conductive yarn stitched on the flexible support along a path from a respective sensor to a location for an electronic board, and connected to the at least one sensor, and at least one flexible strip attached to the flexible support along the path to protect the at least one electrically conductive yarn.
