Abstract

Athletes participating in competitive physical activity are susceptible to injury and overexertion. Due to the invasiveness of some monitoring devices, lack of durability, and discomfort when worn, most health monitoring devices are not suitable for athletes to wear during sports-based practices or games. The TCNJ Athlete Tracker was designed to monitor impact forces on the body, dehydration levels, body temperature, and heart rate while secured onto the athlete's body inside a form-fitting belt. The device was programmed to alert the athlete when a physiological metric was outside a specified safe range. The device records data from an infrared thermopile sensor, infrared heart rate monitor, two Ag/AgCl electrodes, and two three-axis accelerometers, and records the data on a USB memory drive. The performance of the TCNJ Athlete Tracker will be verified using standardized testing methods and validated by having athletes wear the device during a set of pre-determined exercises. This design offers a less obtrusive, comfortable, and durable monitoring device that athletes can wear during games and practices.

TCNJ运动员追踪器

参加竞技体育活动的运动员容易受伤和过度劳累。由于一些监测设备的侵入性，缺乏耐用性和佩戴时的不适，大多数健康监测设备不适合运动员在运动训练或比赛中佩戴。TCNJ运动员追踪器的设计目的是监测对身体的冲击力、脱水程度、体温和心率，同时将运动员的身体固定在一条合身的腰带内。该装置被编程为在生理指标超出指定安全范围时提醒运动员。该设备记录来自红外热电堆传感器、红外心率监测器、两个Ag/AgCl电极和两个三轴加速度计的数据，并将数据记录在USB存储驱动器上。TCNJ运动员追踪器的性能将通过标准化测试方法进行验证，并通过让运动员在一组预先确定的练习中佩戴该设备进行验证。这种设计提供了一种不那么突兀、舒适和耐用的监测设备，运动员可以在比赛和训练中佩戴。
