Internet Of Things (Iot)-Based Solution For Real-Time Monitoring System In High Jump Sport

Samsung, Fitbit and Sony are advanced companies that have produced various wearable devices for years, especially in sports technology for the needs of athletes. The high-tech developments within the Internet of things (IoTs) have also given athletes and coaches a smart way to develop the way the athlete trains and plays which will contribute towards economic benefit. However, the high jump sport monitoring system still use high-speed camera which is non-economical to the athlete and coaches. Besides, the camera itself needs technical expertise to setup the devices and the results are hard to understand and not in real-time basis. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to develop an IoT-based solution for real-time monitoring system in high jump sport. The OpenHAB mobile application (app) is created to communicate between the wearable device and the server. This mobile app helps the athlete to monitor their performances in the smartphone through IoT-based solution rather than using the costly high-speed camera. The outcomes have shown promising results since all data are able to be visualise and monitor in real-time, history of the training can be retrieved via the log files and the benchmark data acts as a guide to the intermediate athlete to improve the performance.
