Popis: Physical activity should become an everyday goal. Portable systems are a perfect complement to follow-up exercise adaptation. This work presents the simultaneous measurements of surface electromyography (sEMG) and electrocardiography (ECG) signals acquisition using the BiTalino kit during joint flexion/extension and ergometry in sports evaluations. sEMG signals show the antagonist muscles and their contributions between limbs during movement performance. The analysis of heart rate changes and the tachogram calculation sum up to a set of tests to understand how the heart adjust to a demand and how it recovers. Signal processing used discrete and continuous wavelet transforms, to take advantage of time resolution for event characterization in the presence of artifacts due to movement. The use of the open source hardware BiTalino kit, along to a robust digital signal processing, allows to implement tools as an auxiliary of dynamic sports evaluations. This type of test is not normally used, so the development of this tool can potentially analyze fitness performance, fatigue, and antagonist muscles imbalances to adjust training and prevent injuries.
