Remote Training-Support of Running Form for Runners with Wireless Sensor

Abstract

This paper describes the environment of the remote training-support for runners with wireless sensor. The system provides the visualization to a remote advisor about their running-form and feedback function to them by using their kinetic feature of arm swing at the real-time. In particular, 3D-acceleration sensor catches repeats of arm swing. Sensors transmit such information to the remote server on the Web. The advisor can observe runners’ condition by way of waveform changes as graphic reports. Moreover, runners can receive several advices as alarms from the advisor. We have designed and implemented our proposal.
