Abstract
This paper presents the development of a vital sign monitoring system designed specifically for professional athletes, with a focus on runners. The system aims to enhance athletic performance and mitigate health risks associated with intense training regimens. It comprises a wearable glove that monitors key physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), body temperature, and gyroscope data used to calculate linear speed, among other relevant metrics. Additionally, environmental variables, including ambient temperature, are tracked. To ensure accuracy, the system incorporates an onboard filtering algorithm to minimize false positives, allowing for timely intervention during instances of physiological abnormalities. The study demonstrates the system's potential to optimize performance and protect athlete well-being by facilitating real-time adjustments to training intensity and duration. The experimental results show that the system adheres to the classical "220-age" formula for calculating maximum heart rate, responds promptly to predefined thresholds, and outperforms a moving average filter in noise reduction, with the Gaussian filter delivering superior performance.
