A wireless sensors system for sport studies

A system based on wireless sensors for biomechanical and sport applications is presented. It is currently used to study the interaction between athletes and sport surfaces, such as soccer turves and athletic tracks, with special focus on ankle vibrations. Thanks to a Bluetooth connection, the wireless sensors can communicate with a PC, where data are visualized and elaborated in real time. Thus, the subject under test can move freely, since there are no cable constraints.
