Ultra Wide Band real-time location system for cinematic survey in sports

Our experimental campaign shows how a real-time location system based on Ultra Wide Band (UWB) impulses can be fruitfully used to collect cinematic parameters in order to define the health status of an athlete objectively. The Ubisense UWB system has been used to monitor the performance of a professional athlete during the recovering time after a surgery. The cinematic data has been processed in order to have all the performance comparable. This work demonstrates that the UWB localization can be efficiently used in order to show the increase in the muscular capacity and to measure it.
