3. 2. Towards a feedback system for upper body bodyweight exercises using multiple inertial measurement units : A user-centred approach

   University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

   Author : Panagiota Papadopoulou; [2023]
   Keywords : IMU sensors; bodyweight training; machine learning; real-time feedback; push-ups; tricep dips; plank;

   Abstract : This thesis explores the feasibility of developing an affordable and easy-to-use feed- back system that leverages information from multiple inertial measurement units (IMUs) to identify mistakes during upper body bodyweight training and provide real-time feedback to the user.
