SP I Final Presentation
Rob Cortinas, Jessica Gonzaga, Anasha Green, Aileen Saulenas
Introduction
● Approximately 420,000 collegiate students participate in sports per year [23]
● Over 12,000 injuries occur in these athletes per year [23] ● Physical well-being of athletes can be affected by
o impact forces o heat stroke
o abnormal heart activity
o dehydration
● The NCAA has established rules to help decrease the number of preventable injuries o required safety equipment o safety regulations for high impact sports (i.e. tackling in football)
● Monitoring devices exist for athletes but are deficient in different aspects o do not measure continuously o only measure one vital as opposed to several at a time o devices are obtrusive o do not alert the athlete when at risk of injury or overexertion
Problem Statement
● Society promotes physical activity for people of all ages and encourages
individuals to take part in exercise and sports
● Athletic participants assume the risk of potential injury any time they
engage in a physical activity
● Goal: To monitor the health and ensure the safety of players during their
regular practices by incorporating multiple sensors to measure heart rate,
skin conductivity, body temperature, and impact force experienced by the
body
○ Warning alarm will be used to indicate when an individual is at risk of
overexertion or injury
○ It is desired that this system will not cause an obstruction that will interfere
with the individual’s performance or ability to play the sport
Background
TCNJ Athlete Tracker
• According to the NCCSI, there have been 66 deaths due to exertional heat stroke between 1975 and 2009 [22]
• An estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million concussions occur in sports and recreational activities annually [24]
• Blunt impact to the chest can lead to sudden death from cardiac arrest during sports [25]
• Heart rate measurements can be used to optimize training intensity [20]
• Between 100 and 150 athletes die from sudden cardiac death per year [9]
• The NCCSI reported 4 deaths among college and high school football players in 2000 and 20 deaths due to heat stroke in the past 7 years in which dehydration was a contributing factor [19]

directions of motion and
sending an alarm if a
recorded impact exceeds 60
G’s
Justification
2.1 An estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million concussions occur in sports and recreational activities annually. [24]
2.2 Blunt impact to the chest can lead to sudden death from cardiac arrest during sports. [25]
2.3 NHTSA standard for a sudden impact acceleration on a human that would cause severe injury or death is 75 g's for a
50th percentile male, 65 g's for a 50th percentile female, and 50 g's for a 50th percentile child [26]

3.Device must measure
dehydration
3.1 Device must measure
skin resistance (ohms)
3.2 Device must recognize
skin resistance values
greater than 1,000 Ohms as
a potentially dehydrated
state [13]
3.1-2 Attach device across
nodes of a resistor and
compare resistance
measurement to banding
pattern values on the
resistor. Resistors greater
than 1,000 Ohms will also
be used to verify device
recognition.
3.1 The device will be worn
on an athlete participant
during a normal team
practice. Athletes will be
weighed before and after
practice. [7,19] Success will
be defined based on
successfully recording skin
resistances and comparing
them to percentage of mass
lost after practice. The
percentage of mass lost can
also be compared to heart
rate as heart rate rises 3-5
beats per minute every 1%
of body weight loss [4]
Justification
3.1 The National Centre for Catastrophic Sports Injuries (NCCSI) reported 4 deaths among college and high school
football players in 2000 and it has recorded 20 deaths from heat stroke over the past 7 years. Dehydration was the
contributing factor in all of these deaths [19]
3.2 Hypohydration of 2-3% of body mass can compromise athletic performance, heat dissipation, and cardiovascular
function [6,17]

Method/Protocol Method/Protocol
4.Device must measure
heart rate
4.1 Able to measure from
40 beats per minute (bpm)
to 220 bpm
4.2 The device must
recognize heart rates above
190 bpm as dangerous
4.3 Heart rate measured
once per minute
4.4 The device must
measure and record beat to
beat intervals of the pulse
curve
4.1-3 Using an arterial
puncture arm mannequin,
pump a blood-mimicking
fluid composed of water,
glycerol, and sodium iodide
(viscosity 4.4±0.5 cP)
through simulated artery
using a motor with a known
revolution speed [18]. The
device will be attached to
the mannequin and the
recorded heart rate should
resemble the pulsatile
action of the motor.
4.1-3 The device will be
worn on an athlete
participant during a normal
team practice. Success will
be defined based on the
sensor accurately and
continuously recording
heart rate and sending an
alarm should the rate
exceed 190 bpm.
4.4 The user will be able to
view the pulse curve after a
practice or game
Justification
4.1 Minimum values of heart rate can reach values as low as 40 bpm. Maximum heart rate for collegiate athletes is
approximately 200 bpm and active athlete heart rates reach between 65% and 95% of the maximum [12] [16]
4.2 Athletes spend most of their time at heart rates near the maximum heart rate. Rates at or above 95% of the
maximum or above indicates overexertion [3]
4.3 Heart rate must be constantly measured so the player can be alerted as soon as his or her rate exceeds 95% of the
maximum
4.4 A recording of beat to beat intervals can be used for analysis of heart rate variability to determine risk for SCD

through entire practice. If
memory did not run out,
validation will have been
successful.
Justification
5.1-2 Microcontroller will be used due to its size and ease of integration with sensors.
5.3 Device is useless if it cannot obtain data for the entire time it is needed.
5.4 Data must be sampled often in order to ensure no dangerous changes in vitals are missed.
5.4.1 Temperature changes do not occur as abruptly as changes in heart rate, so sampling rate does not have to be as
frequent.
5.4.2 Heart rate must be sampled often to detect if user demonstrates a heart rate at or above 95% of their maximum
5.5 If memory runs out, data will not be recorded and device would be useless
