Golfer Body Posture Monitoring Using e-Textile Technology

Abstract

Being a beginner in any sport that is difficult to learn is what usually ticks people off from further learning the sport. Golf is no exception to this, and with that, the study conducted utilized E-textile technology, specifically wearable accelerometers, to develop a wearable device that would monitor a person's golf swings. A professional golf instructor validates the data obtained by the device. It is concluded that the device is able to monitor the body posture of the golf player wearing the device.
