Monitoring Physical Health, Mental Health, Nutrition, and Sleep in Athletes to Improve Performance: Workshop Position Paper: Multimodal Sports Interaction: Wearables and HCI in Motion
Pages 444 - 449
Abstract
The increased availability of long-term tracking of personal data using wearables has created an interest in research communities to develop feedback modalities that aid the success of wearable, interactive, and mobile systems. Personal data relevant to athletes can be grouped into four pillars: physical health, mental health, nutrition, and sleep. This position paper reviews four existing sport data management systems that track and monitor one or more of the four pillars and discuss their suitability for sports athletes. These systems are assessed based on their purpose, how well athlete goals (sport-related, short- and long-term) are supported, and locomotion limitations. This paper finds that feedback provided back to an athlete about their multifaceted physical and mental status in existing systems need to be further personalised to the individual's goals and environmental context. Our research aims to take what is best of existing systems and enhance their capabilities to merge and visualise data about the four pillars and provide effective feedback that supports athlete goals.
