Development of sensorised resistance band for objective exercise measurement: Activities classification trial Jianjia Ma Eef Hogervorst Daniele Magistro Vassilios Chouliaras Massimiliano Zecca 2134/32963 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/conference_contribution/Development_of_sensorised_resistance_band_for_objective_exercise_measurement_Activities_classification_trial/9552326 Resistance bands are often used in resistance training programs for older adults. Despite their widespread use, there is a lack of objective assessment of the actual strength, speed and precision of the movements during these exercises. Therefore, this paper presents the development of a sensorised resistance-band and a preliminary trial of activities classification by using artificial intelligence. The results show that in the preliminary trial, the classification accuracy of 4 different activities reached over 96% using accelerometer data only. A future study will be based on the sensorised resistance band to quantify resistance band exercises objectively in elderly people. 2018-05-15 08:38:31 Resistance band Activity classification Dementia treatment Artificial Intelligence Medical and Health Sciences not elsewhere classified
