Abstract
In modern sports training, the athlete’s heat energy consumption in training and competition is directly related to the athlete’s physical management and competitive state. Traditional methods of evaluating thermal energy consumption often rely on subjective self-report or indirect measurement of physiological indicators, which have certain limitations. In this study, by collecting physiological data of athletes under different exercise intensities and combining kinematic parameters, the heat energy consumption model was built. The motion images of athletes are captured by high resolution camera and infrared thermal imager, and the distribution and change of athletes’ body temperature are analyzed by image processing technology, so as to evaluate the heat energy consumption. Heat consumption simulation data and optical imaging data are fused to improve the accuracy and reliability of heat consumption evaluation. In the laboratory environment, different sports and athletes at different levels were tested, heat consumption simulation and optical imaging data were collected, and compared with traditional evaluation methods. Through a series of experiments and data analysis, this study successfully constructed a system that can accurately simulate the heat energy consumption of athletes during exercise. The experimental results show that the system has high accuracy and reliability in evaluating athletes’ energy consumption. The optical imaging technology can clearly show the change of the athletes’ body temperature distribution, and the heat energy consumption simulation technology can provide detailed heat energy consumption data. The application of data fusion technology further improves the accuracy of the evaluation results.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
