Abstract
In the smart era, big data analysis based on sensor units is important in intelligent motion. In this study, a dance sports and injury monitoring system (DIMS) based on a recyclable flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (RF-TENG) sensor module, a data processing hardware module, and an upper computer intelligent analysis module are developed to promote intelligent motion. The resultant RF-TENG exhibits an ultra-fast response time of 17 ms, coupled with robust stability demonstrated over 4200 operational cycles, with 6% variation in output voltage. The DIMS enables immersive training by providing visual feedback on sports status and interacting with virtual games. Combined with machine learning (K-nearest neighbor), good classification results are achieved for ground-jumping techniques. In addition, it shows some potential in sports injury prediction (i.e., ankle sprains, knee hyperextension). Overall, the sensing system designed in this study has broad prospects for future applications in intelligent motion and healthcare.
