A Smart Real-time IoT-based System for Monitoring Health of Athletes

International Journal of Computing and Digital Systems

Athletes encounter different types of hits, which sometimes could be strong or light hits. Heavy or strong hits on some parts of an athlete's body such as the chest or lungs may be harmful and cause severe damage to the human body. In some cases, the heavy hits may cause heart failure or a serious lung rupture. In the athlete's healthcare domain, there are potential trails efforts based on Internet-of-Thing (IoT) technology; however, building a comprehensive and efficient system is still a demanding concern. In this paper, we present a new comprehensive real-time platform for monitoring athletes during Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The proposed real-time monitoring platform is called the IoT-Sports Health system, which particularly fuses based on IoT devices with in-sport healthcare services. Therefore, our proposed system is integrated, designed, and implemented to monitor and measure the athlete's body temperature, strike force, and the number of strikes that the athlete has been received from the opponent. Several real field trials and many experiments proved the feasibility of our proposed IoT-Sport health system, which directly and automatically plays a significant role in chest guarding against heavy and strong strikes. Furthermore, our proposed real-time monitoring system can be easily deployed to monitor aging people that suffering from chronic diseases in-home. In conclusion, experimental tests are performed to evaluate the proposed IoT-Sports Health system by applying a real case on three different matches. The obtained results proved that our proposed IoT-Sports Health system outperforms similar systems with respect to the accuracy, and regarding to the response time.

Sensor Fusion and Smart Sensor in Sports and Biomedical Applications

Sensors, 2016

The following work presents an overview of smart sensors and sensor fusion targeted at biomedical applications and sports areas. In this work, the integration of these areas is demonstrated, promoting a reflection about techniques and applications to collect, quantify and qualify some physical variables associated with the human body. These techniques are presented in various biomedical and sports applications, which cover areas related to diagnostics, rehabilitation, physical monitoring, and the development of performance in athletes, among others. Although some applications are described in only one of two fields of study (biomedicine and sports), it is very likely that the same application fits in both, with small peculiarities or adaptations. To illustrate the contemporaneity of applications, an analysis of specialized papers published in the last six years has been made. In this context, the main characteristic of this review is to present the largest quantity of relevant examples of sensor fusion and smart sensors focusing on their utilization and proposals, without deeply addressing one specific system or technique, to the detriment of the others.

These sensing technologies impact the sports equipament development, improving practices and performance of athletes [7], which benefit with IoT. For starters, IoT for sports applications is related to data acquisition process, performance and movement tracking of athlets, and in coaching techniques. One factor that justifies the adoption of this method is paid attention to the health of an athlete, e. g., application to monitor the risk of injuries among soccer players, using sensors to aquire different types of

Modernized IoT-based Intelligent Helmet System to Monitor and Protect Sportsman

International Journal of Computing and Digital Systems, 2023

The applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) model and their ability to aggregate real-time data from wireless sensors shed the light to develop new IoT-based technological systems to monitor and protect the health of sportsmen. In this paper, a new modernized IoT-based approach is proposed for monitoring the head of the sportsman using a concussion sensor (3-Axis Accelerometer Module GY-61) mounted on the top of the helmet to detect any sudden and improper hits. Furthermore, another sensor for measuring the temperature is also added to the helmet in order to monitor the temperature of sportsman. Those sensors are worked together for continuously monitoring any abnormal hits, especially on the head part of the human body. When an abnormal hit or any concussion occurs, the human body responds by increasing the temperature due to the brain movement inside the skull. Consequently, the proposed system will directly alert medical staff about any abnormal and dangerous hit by sending sensor readings. An experimental process is conducted to test and evaluate the proposed system using a real case study applied to the boxing helmet in a realistic style during the match. Results showed that the proposed helmet system outperforms similar state-of-the-art systems by the mean of accuracy and response time. The accuracy reaches 96% with different types of matches.

The role of science and technology in sport

Procedia Computer Science, 2018

Wearable devices measuring some physical or physiological quantity of an individual have already become a part of daily life for many people. While such simple devices output mainly the statistical values of measured quantities or count events, demands in sport are more stringent. Quantities of interest must be measured in wider range, with greater precision, and with higher sampling frequency. We present a short introduction to motor learning in sport and its needs for technology backup. We present properties and limitations of various sensors used for sport activity signal acquisition, means of communication, and properties and limitations of communication channels. We shed some light on the analysis of various aspects of sport activity signal and data processing. We present timing, spatial, and computational power constraints of processing. Attention is given also to the state of the art data processing techniques such as machine learning and data mining. In conclusion we present some technological trends and challenges in sport, such as Internet of Things, smart sport equipment, and real-time biofeedback systems and applications.

2021

In this paper a device based on wearable sensors is introduced to describe quantitative body movements in different sports. This device can be an alternative of Image processing techniques. Image processing devices have always been used to describe quantitative body movements, which in addition to being costly, have to be used in specific conditions. The device is built from a number of wireless modules that are easy to use in real-world environments with no limitations. In this method, a quantitative description of movement is made by wireless modules and is performed by the data collected from these modules. In order to analyze the data that was extracted from an athlete's body movements with these wearable sensors, the outputs are simulated in Matlab, and some of its kinematic and kinetic parameters have been studied. Then, at the end of this paper, the quality of movement of a professional athlete and a beginner athlete are compared, and the result is shown. Kinematic and dy...

Body sensor networks for monitoring performances in sports: A brief overview and some new thoughts

Artificial Intelligence Research

This paper aims to review on body sensor networks (BSNs) for sports from performance monitoring point of view with some new thoughts. The focus of the paper is to show that wearable sensor is more efficient than cameras in measuring sport performance and thereby video data and video based systems can be replaced by wearable sensors. Here, the current state-of-the art in BSNs are mainly introduced relating to sports performance instead of physical activity and health/safety related issues for sports and to the best of our knowledge, this has not been done yet for different types of sports rather than a particular sport. Although the progress in BSN for sports performance is in early stage, the ultimate goal is to develop a complete training/match analysis tool using wearable sensors and various analyses techniques to monitor as well as improve performances in sports.
