Abstract

During training, athletes are evaluated by their trainer in a subjective way. It is hard task to appreciate improvements between two different performances of the same athlete, particularly if carried out at different places and times or if referred to different tests. Moreover, in team sports, like soccer, football and basket, to follow and evaluate each athlete could be very demanding for the trainer. This paper presents the work done to design a wearable, light-weight and rugged inertial measurement unit designed to collect and analyze data. Inertial measurements are correlated with the athlete’s position too. Some results are presented and discussed.
