Wireless Sensor Devices in Sports Performance

Accelerometers, gyroscopes, and inertial measurement units (IMUs) play an important part in human movement analysis. In recent years, there has been a significant emphasis on physical activity and health monitoring, and the use of accelerometers for physical activity monitoring has become popular. Electromyography (EMG) is a popular technique in the analysis of muscle activations in sports biomechanics. Widespread use was limited due to devices originally being bulky and expensive. Recent developments have incorporated wireless functionality in these devices.
