Over the last decades, wearable systems have gained interest for monitoring of physiological variables, promoting health, and improving exercise adherence in different populations ranging from elite athletes to patients. In this paper, we present a wearable system for the continuous real-time monitoring of respiratory frequency (), heart rate (HR), and movement cadence during physical activity. The system has been experimentally tested in the laboratory (by simulating the breathing pattern with a mechanical ventilator) and by collecting data from one healthy volunteer. Results show the feasibility of the proposed device for real-time continuous monitoring of , HR, and movement cadence both in resting condition and during activity. Finally, different synchronization techniques have been investigated to enable simultaneous data collection from different wearable modules.
在过去的几十年中，可穿戴系统因其在监测生理变量、促进健康以及提高不同人群（从精英运动员到患者）的运动依从性方面的应用而受到关注。在本文中，我们提出了一种可穿戴系统，用于在进行体育活动时连续实时监测呼吸频率（）、心率（HR）和运动步频。该系统已在实验室中通过使用机械呼吸机模拟呼吸模式进行了实验测试，并从一名健康志愿者处收集了数据。结果表明，该设备可实时连续监测在休息和活动时的、HR 和运动步频，具有可行性。最后，研究了不同的同步技术，以实现从不同可穿戴模块同时收集数据。
