The modules of the system
1. The chest belt
Measured parameters
- ECG (the electrodes are integrated in the belt itself) with 1000Hz sampling rate
- body temperature, ambient temperature
- motion sensors (speed, acceleration, total number of sprints, covered distance, step number, motion analysis)
- Players field position (exercise and training match animation for analysis)
The attributes of the chest belt
- a user friendly, flexible and comfortable mobile/wireless signal recording device
- can be used all day long during moving around, running, sleeping, doing house work or engaging in sports activities
- very easy to use, so it is suitable for children and senior players as well
- the electrodes are integrated into the belt
- rechargeable, water resistant
- includes a wireless communication module in a compact form
- automatically detects its placement on the body
- can store up to 2 months’ of data
- may be integrated into a system with other physiological sensors
Every functions is integrated in one chest belt, no other hardware equipment has to be worn!
2. Data Management module
General modules connected to the telemetric system support the administrative management of data stored in the central database (such as for clubs, teams and also individual persons).The setup of various authorization levels, the chronological interpretation of the data as well as the management of training logs is available.
3. The Telemetric module
Transfers the data even during sports activities through wireless connection to a local and central server.On-line Functions
- Simultaneous monitoring of many patients / players
- Continuous, real-time detection of all signals (ECG, temperature, movement, …) with trend analyses
- Heart-rate detection
- Real-time transmission of signals to a computer, their on-line analysis, and monitoring of various metabolic processes (such as the changes of temperature e.g.correlation of ambient and body temperature)
- Point out the aerobe and anaerobe phases – to determinate the ideal personal pulse value for optimal soccer exercise loading (based on special test measurements)
- Real-time training execution conroll
- Measurement of mechanical performance (speed, step number, step frequency, distance, performance, motion style, reaction time)
- Comprehensive analysis of arrhythmias is possible during exertion
- Displaying the whole ECG signal, so the artifacts can be identified.
- Comparison of the mechanical and physiological performance
Every data is based upon on individual's specific test records!
The data collected from the various turning and shifting measurement functions may also help monitor performance in case of exercises and ball handling done in one place.
4. The Reporting module
Real-time reports with graphs in 5 seconds (/series /exercise / training)- max / min / average heart rate
- percent of personal maximal heart rate
- covered distance, step number, sprint number,
- step number/sprints, step frequency
- min / max /average speed, percentage of personal speed maximum
- %VO2max
- heart rate graph
- performance graph
- temperature graph
- speed graph
- historical graphs
5. The Exercise Physiology decision support module
The examination protocol includes a wave and rhythm analysis conducted in a state of rest.These state-of-rest data provide information on the patiens / sportsman’s psychological and physical condition before the loading of the match / trainig starts.
- ECG and heart rate analysis
- 1kHz sampling
- detection of even slight fevers
- determining the actual status of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve system
- various mathematical and statistical measurements of the selected part of the record
- (HRV, standard deviation, Poincare diagram, Spectrums, PNNx, ...)
- highlighting abnormal parameters
Thus, within team sports, it is possible to elaborate and apply individual training plans in accordance with each sportsman’s individual loadability.
6. The Animation and Technical-Tactical counseling support module
With the help of the tactical counseling support module the movement of players on the field and their techniques may be monitored and also played back in 3D format after the trainings, making it possible to analyze the whole process of the training, the movements of the players, their performance and the various performance indicators and physiological characteristics attributed to each player.The animation system operates inside and outside as well.
7. The completion supporting module
The module for supporting the completion of training methodologies it is possible to monitor the completion of training plans on the basis of shifting and performance meters.Since all trainings are saved in the database, it is also possible to monitor changes in the course of time.
8. Antropometrical modul
The collected antropometrical data determine the players performance capacity and capability.After entering their results on-line, patients get the degree of their threat and
may monitor the efficiency of their diet and training.
9. The automatic alarm system module
The automatic alarm system module gives alarms to the user in special cases. These alarm situations have to be defined by the users for special values of different mathematical parameters. For example if the maximum pulse is higher than a special value, or the Poincare diagram is larger than a special value, the system sends an automatic alarm to the user.10. The injury diagnostics module
The injury diagnostics module supports the registration of injuries and other diseases on an interactive 3D body model. This means that patients / sportsmen may indicate any symptoms they may have on the body model via a password protected website. After setting up the diagnosis the doctor registers the results on the body model as well. This way, any injuries, their diagnoses and treatments can be monitored in an easy-to-comprehend, visualized and properly controlled manner.By analyzing the data of the telemetric device it is possible to control the rehabilitation process in a controlled manner, and the training plan may also be modified according to need.
Based on the information gathered this way, the duration of rehabilitation can also be predicted.
