In collegiate soccer, athletes’ health and performance are affected by overexertion and fatigue throughout the season. Current methods rely on subjective evaluations and inconsistent tests, making it difficult for coaches to effectively manage their team for optimizing performance. Smart wearable devices offer a promising solution to this problem. This project aims to develop a non-invasive body sensor network to quantitatively measure fatigue. The project monitors key biometrics such as body temperature, respiration rate, heart rate, and muscle exertion, alongside performance metrics and enables coaches to make data-driven decisions to prevent overexertion. The team used a variety of data analysis techniques, filtering techniques, and exercises to compare real-time performance and after workout reports. Not only does this initiative enhance performance, but it provides individualized insights into their physiological responses during exercise.
