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]

impact forces to the head

2.2 Device must measure

impact forces to the chest

2.3 Device must warn user

when forces reach or exceed

60 G’s

2.4 Impact forces should be

recorded along the three

axes of athlete motion

2.1-3 ASTM-D5276

Standard Test Method for

Drop Test of Loaded

Containers by Free Fall.

Drop contained device onto

a flat, firm, nonyielding steel

base. Drop height is set to

30” and is dropped ten times

in ten different orientations.

2.4 Assembly will be

dropped diagonally

downward from 30” to

detect recordings in three

axes of motion

2.1-4 The device will be

worn on an athlete

participant during a normal

team practice. Success will

be defined based on

successfully recording

impact forces at the head

and chest in all three

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]

2.4 When athletes receive an impact, the body will not only respond in one direction.

Method/Protocol Method/Protocol

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]

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

[14]
