Demo Abstract: LiftRight: Quantifying Training Performance using a Wearable Sensor

Abstract

There are many reasons why exercise is important, ranging from improvements in physical and psychological wellness to disease management. Fitness trackers today focus on very basic aspects of monitoring exercise, such as tracking the heart-rate and counting steps. Very few monitoring tools exist, especially in the realm of weight training. This demo presents LiftRight, an approach in monitoring strength training sessions to capture performance metrics and form analysis.
