New smart jersey records athletes' activity during training

Specialists of the Laboratory of Neurosciences and Cognitive Technologies of the NTI Competence Center "Technologies"

components of robotics and mechatronics" based onInnopolis University, together with employees of the Tchaikovsky State Institute of Physical Culture and the Engineering Center of Lobachevsky University, created and tested a new smart T-shirt. It can broadcast to the coach how the athlete performs the task: what muscle groups are involved. Thanks to this, you can immediately see that the person is performing the exercise incorrectly.

The team is currently working on collecting data forcreation of an intelligent system that, with the help of artificial intelligence, can optimize exercise performance, thus an athlete will receive a virtual coach.

For now we are focusing on winter technical sportssports - biathlon, ski jumping, because there are requests for such developments from this area of ​​sports. We will have more tests with athletes. The project is designed for land sports; for water sports, water resistance is required, and this is a separate task.

Now development can followactivity of the main muscles of the shoulder girdle with the possibility of scaling to the muscles of the whole body. According to the developers, each sport has its own muscle group, so it is more promising to make smart clothing for different sports, focused on exactly what is needed.
