Abstract

More people than ever are throwing themselves into the challenge of competitive powerlifting. A correct posture is important to avoid the exerciser from injured. This requires a real time monitoring that could always remind the exerciser on the current stage of their posture. Producing such a system could be challenging due to its complexity and cost. Project, a low-cost stretchable sensor for Bluetooth embedded system to monitor body posture during workout by using Arduino microcontroller has been proposed to measure a range of body posture stretch level. Two major part consist hardware and software have been developed. The hardware development will be involving a stretchable sensor and sensing circuitry. For the software, monitoring application has been developed by using MIT app inventor 2. The stretchable sensor has been prototyped using stretchable fabric, carbon powder, and silicone. Sensing characteristic of the sensor has been determined by measuring the variations of resistance due to different stretch levels. The circuitry system consists of HC-05 Bluetooth module to provide wireless interface between smartphone and the hardware. Android application that capable to analyze and monitor body posture in real time has been developed. To complete the system, body strap has been developed by integrating all the hardware and make the system easy to use in workout application.
