Embedded System for Athletes’ Jump Performance Analysis

Abstract

Achieving peak performance is a primary goal for athletes, and understanding progress is essential for this pursuit. Jump tests are a reliable method for evaluating athletic performance. This study presents an embedded system that leverages the cutting-edge technology present in the SensorTile STEVAL-STLCS01V1 sensor to provide accurate measurements of key performance indicators, such as jump height, power, and reaction time. We propose a wearable technology solution that seamlessly tracks and analyzes these metrics, offering evaluators valuable insights into an athlete’s development. A data collection protocol was implemented involving 22 participants, and the results show that the system’s measurements exhibit a consistent bias relative to the gold standard. A minor bias correction would allow the system to achieve both higher accuracy and precision, demonstrating its potential for practical use in athletic training.
