Abstract
In sports science, motion data collected from athletes is used to derive key performance characteristics, such as stride length and stride frequency, that are vital coaching support information. The sensors for use must be more accurate, must capture more vigorous events, and have strict weight and size requirements, since they must not themselves affect performance. These requirements mean each wireless sensor device is necessarily resource poor and yet must be capable of communicating a considerable amount of data, contending for the bandwidth with other sensors on the body. This paper analyses the results of a set of network traffic experiments that were designed to investigate the suitability of conventional wireless motion sensing system design � which generally assumes in-network processing - as an efficient and scalable design for use in sports training.
