Sport Fatigue Monitoring and Analyzing Through Multi-Source Sensors

Abstract

During the process of daily training or competition, athletes may suffer the situation that the load exceeds the body's bearing capacity, which makes the body's physiological function temporarily decline. It is one of the characteristics of sports fatigue. Continuous sports fatigue may incur permanent damage to the athletes if they cannot timely get enough rest to recover. In order to solve this issue and improve the quality of athlete's daily training, this paper establish a fatigue monitoring system by using multi-source sensors. First, the sEMG signals of athlete are collected by multi-source sensors which are installed in a wearable device. Second, the collected sEMG signals are segmented by using fixed window to be converted as Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). Third, the MFCC features are used learn a Gaussian processing model which is used to monitor future muscle fatigue status. The experiments show that the proposed system can recognize more than 90% muscle fatigue states.
