以穿戴式裝置的肌電流訊號估測重訓負重之研究

Abstract

重訓可以增進整體的身體健康，讓到一個人有更好的體態，已經提高運動表現。在一個訓練環節內影響重訓的效率的因素主要有4個，分別是運動的重量、次數與組數、進行動作的速度以及使用的負重。前人的研究有使用穿戴式的感測器去偵測運動的種類、做的次數與組數、以及進行動作時的速度。可是，想要去偵測重訓時使用的負重，需要特定的運動設備或負重。我們的研究MuscleSense，是一個通過穿戴式裝置偵測重訓時負重的方法。MuscleSense通過迴歸使用手臂或前臂上的穿戴式肌電流感測器的訊號來預測重訓室的負重。我們先收集了20個使用者的肌電流資料，然後去測試了不同位置的感測器對於我們的系統的影響。我們的結果顯示MuscleSense在預測間距為1公斤的負重時的使用線性迴歸支持向量機得到的方均根差為0.683公斤。

Strength training improves overall health, well-being, physical appearance, and sports performance.There are four major factors that affect training efficacy in a training session: exercise type, number of repetitions, movement velocity, and workload. Prior research has used wearable sensors to detect exercise type, number of repetitions, and movement velocity while training. However, detecting workload still requires instrumentation of exercise equipment such as exercise machines, or free weights. This paper presents MuscleSense, an approach that detects training weight through wearable devices. In particular, MuscleSense uses various regressors to predicting weight using signals from wearable sEMG sensors mounted on user's arm or forearm. We evaluated the effects of sensor placement and collected training data from 20 participants. The results from our user study show that MuscleSense achieves Root Mean Square Error(RMSE) of 0.683kg in sensing workload through sensors data from both forearm and arm using Support Vector Regressor of linear kernel.
