AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The device can also be equipped with a heart rate detection system, which has problems in terms of stability and the location of certain sensors in terms of its size and its potential to cause discomfort for swimmers
In particular, the location of the sensor in the center of the swimmer's chest may be uncomfortable and impractical for swimming
Furthermore, the chest strap on which it sits can easily move while swimming, thereby changing the position of the sensor and invalidating the signal reading

Embodiment Construction

[0044] With reference to the accompanying drawings, garments for water sports include apparel, in other words, garments made of materials suitable for use in water, as is generally considered, when performing sports, which can be worn on the swimmer's upper body, and in particular Can be worn as a bra. This particular embodiment allows the garment to be comfortable and prevents the garment from moving and sliding along the swimmer when swimming (which can alter measurements and create discomfort), as well as making the areas where the electrodes come into contact with the skin impermeable.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, garment 10 can be used by both female and male athletes due to the cut and shape of the fabrics used. This enables the swimmer to have a garment that fits perfectly and is therefore comfortable for both female and male users.

[0046] A garment 10 according to the present invention includes two or more heart rate and / or electrocardiogram (ECG) signal sens...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wearable system for monitoring a swimmer's performance. In particular, the invention relates to a system composed of a garment comprising two or more heart rate and / or ECG signal sensors and a casing placed on the back portion of the garment comprising a movement detection inertial system comprising an accelerometer, a heart rate and / or ECG signal detection circuit, a microprocessor for analysing the data from said heart rate and / or ECG signal detection sensors, and a transmitter for sending said data to a receiver unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wearable system for monitoring the performance of a swimmer. In particular, the invention relates to a system consisting of a sensor-mounted garment and a device coupled thereto capable of providing data on the heart rate, motion and acceleration of a swimmer wearing it. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to be used primarily by a user during swimming workouts to improve his or her performance and fitness, or to measure the effect of water-based rehabilitation treatments. Background technique [0002] Swimming is a widely practiced sport in our society because compared to many other sports, swimming is a total sport that works the whole body and trains a wide range of muscles, which is why swimming is often recommended for children and those with the ability to involve muscles and People with skeletal-specific back problems. [0003] At the same time, swimming does not require any expensive equipment, bu...
