Design of a smart garment for cycling
| Resumo: | Given the premise that cycling encourages a healthy lifestyle and promotes well-being, this paper describes the design process for the development of a cycling garment, with embedded electrodes for heart rate measurement to further widen the possibilities of health and performance monitoring, in a practical and unobtru-sive way. Electrodes were produced and tested, using different textile materials and techniques. Signal measurement is based on the BBB Y8YBH20 heart rate monitor and performance tests were done using the Polar Beat mobile app. Final-ly, a prototype of the garment is presented |
