Outline of Final Research Achievements

If we could measure the ECG during swimming/water exercise, the information obtained from the measured electrocardiogram is very useful for training. However, since it is difficult to measure an electrocardiogram in water, there are few devices that can easily measure the heart rate in water. In this study, we developed swimwear type smart swimwear that can measure the electrocardiogram just by wearing it. We determined the electrode layout of smart swimwear by comparing several electrode layouts. As a result of the measurement experiment in water, the smart swimwear for men could not measure a clear electrocardiogram. However, with the women's smart swimwear, a clear electrocardiogram could be measured during the various types of swimming. In addition, we have developed a system that allows the person and coach to check the measured heart rate.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

効果的、かつ安全なトレーニングを行うとき、最適な運動強度の設定が必要である。特に有酸素運動を行うとき、一般的に心拍数がトレーニングの強度の指標として用いられる。水中での運動は関節の負荷が小さく安全なトレーニングとして知られているものの心拍数を測定できる機器は少ない。本研究ではこの点に着目し、誰でも簡便に心拍数が計測できる水着タイプの心拍計を開発とその情報をフィードバックできるシステムを開発した。
