Electrocardiosignals and Motion Signals Telemonitoring and Analysis System for Sportsmen

The aim of this paper is to present a new electrocardiosignals (ECGs) and motion signals telemonitoring and analysis system for sportsmen paddling a canoe or kayak. The developed system is intended to facilitate the couch in optimizing and individualizing the training of elite athletes. The hardware system consists of rower and coach components. Rower components include 5 sensors for monitoring of mechanical and physiological parameters. The coach components include master unit and laptop computer. The coach software works in two modes: online version during training and off-line the detailed data analysis after training. The new method for systolic blood pressure evaluation was developed and checked for 313 persons. The accuracy of systolic blood pressure prediction could exceed range of 90%.. The preliminary results of developed system testing and method for blood pressure evaluation are promising and show that telemetry system could be used for monitoring of ECG and motion parameters when sportsman is in action. 1
