WMS: Wearables-Based Multisensor System for In-Home Fitness Guidance

Human activity recognition (HAR) is now a powerful in-home fitness assistive technology. This article presents a wearables-based multisensor system (WMS), which not only supports conventional functionalities, such as motion evaluation based on multidimensional information about the user’s body (movement speed, angle, muscle states, etc.), but also provides advanced services, including assessing training fatigue and providing real time, elastic, and professional training advice. The proposed WMS is experimentally validated by yielding 90.11% accuracy of motion evaluation with 36% and 23% improvement of fitness effect on bicep girth and muscular endurance, indicating its feasibility to prompt the development of HAR in the in-home fitness training domain.
