A Method of Designing a Ubi-coach system: A Training system for cycling sport

An Ubi-coach cyclist training system for monitoring and analysing the performance of a cyclist and provides a scalable coaching feedback. During coaching, cyclists are equipped with wireless sensors in order to acquire sports specific parameters like heart rate, blood pressure level, speed and distance covered and report context related information. The Ubi-coach system encourages the cyclist to his/her best within the conditions available. It is a multifaceted advisor for International cyclists. The coach system works in three phases, In phase I, it records the current performance of the cyclist, In phase II, it motivates the cyclist by explaining historical performances in similar conditions, and phase III, it advises the cyclist over the diet, physical , mental fitness and medical preconditions. Ubi-coach system provides experts subsystems like clinician subsystem and coach subsystem, that perform functional health assessment of cyclist and provides timely feedback accordingly to improve cyclist fitness. Profile Database stores personal information of cyclist like age, gender, weight , height as well as implicit information acquired during exercise for fitness domain, the number of times the user completed a particular exercise, the amount of time spent for a particular training goal. Current record database stores cyclist information acquired or derived from sensors. Decision Analyser subsystem decides the exercise plan for the cyclist based on advice from Clinician and Coach subsystems. This paper describes system design considerations and systematic implementation to meet various practical needs and provides scalable training solutions to multiple cyclist under different terrain conditions regardless of time and space.
