Abstract

With unprecedented witness in physical exercises, gyms are high in demand with their infrastructure and best exercise equipment to provide proper fitness to its customers. But incorrect posture is one of the overlooked issues that result in acute or chronic injuries while doing improper exercises. Heavy loads and wrong postures during the exercise are not monitored mostly due to insufficient assessment tools or infrastructure. The gait analysis setup makes it impossible to monitor exercise routines in regular gyms due to the space and expenditure. In this study, a wearable device integrated with multiple accelerometers is designed to monitor posture. This portable device can also deliver proper data for routines like squats, bench press, and deadlifts. Using built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the data can be tracked in real time. The real-time posture data can provide reliable information to the gym coaches for immediate correction remedy.
