Abstract

This paper proposes the development of a low cost electronic non-invasive comfortable prototype based on acceleration and rotation microelectromechanical (MEMs) sensors for obtaining physiological measures during training or regular physical activities of a chosen athlete. In this paper we present the prototype system; The system for acquisition, calibration and testing of accelerometer (SACTA) and some preliminary field tests.
