“…In addition, different sports recommend different heart rate monitors. The Polar Verity Sense Optical Heart Rate Sensor is recommended for swimming; therefore, the Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor might be beneficial for overall activities ( 41 ). Additionally, we did not calculate the sample size, and only healthy participants were recruited because this study aimed to develop and explore the feasibility of a VR device.…”

IntroductionVirtual reality (VR) exercises are reportedly beneficial as a physical activity tool for health promotion and rehabilitation, and can also help individuals exercise under professional supervision. We developed and investigated the potential feasibility of a VR-based aerobic exercise program using the XBOX ONE console and Kinect sensor with real-time pulse rate monitoring. The VR setting consisted of two-dimensional (2D) environments via computer, laptop, or television screens. In addition, the study investigated the potential feasibility of the VR-based exercise program on hemodynamic response and arterial stiffness in healthy participants of various ages.MethodsHealthy participants (n = 30) aged > 18 years were enrolled in the VR exercise-based program. All participants were required to wear a polar heart rate (HR) monitor set for moderate-intensity exercise, targeting 40%–59% of their HR reserve. Hemodynamic and arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity) were noninvasively measured. The Borg scale rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was also assessed.ResultsFollowing a VR-guided exercise routine, all participants performed moderate-intensity exercise with no adverse health outcomes during or after the exercise. The effects of VR-based aerobic exercise extended beyond enhanced central hemodynamic and arterial stiffness. However, neither hemodynamic nor arterial stiffness showed significant differences before and after the VR exercise, except for a higher RPE response following the exercise program.ConclusionVR-based aerobic exercise with pulse rate monitoring is a promising physical activity tool to induce physiological changes and impact dyspnea scales and is also feasible for administration to healthy populations.

Recently, intelligent wearable sensors applied in the field of smart sports have attracted much attention. Hence, we designed a pipe arrangement structure triboelectric nanogenerator (PA-TENG), and it can obtain mechanical energy and monitor sports motion. The triboelectric materials are composed of a polydimethylsiloxane layer attached to a silicone tube and nylon layer. The conductive copper attached to the silicone tube surface serves as a conductive electrode of the PA-TENG. Meanwhile, the soft silicone tube can endow the PA-TENG device with the ability to sense pressure. The results indicate that this silicone tube substrate can effectively adsorb conductive copper layers, and the conductive electrode layer still maintains good conductivity stability at different bending angles (15°–90°). The PA-TENG can achieve the maximum output power of 1.03 mW (matched load: 6 MΩ). The results indicate that the PA-TENG can attain the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 190.05 V and the short-circuit current (Isc) of 1.98 μA. The transfer charge (Qsc) of the PA-TENG can arrive at 139.01 nC. The PA-TENG can drive the light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which demonstrates good practicality. Moreover, the PA-TENG can be installed on human joints (fingers, arms, knees, feet, etc.) as a monitoring sensor for various sports training, providing real-time sensing data for training. This research provides a novel pipe arrangement substrate for the wearable sports training sensor.

“…One of the candidate signals is the heart rate (HR) 21 , which can be accurately measured with low-cost, lightweight, and unobtrusive sensors 24 . The popularity of HR sensors among everyday users and athletes 25 highlights their accessibility and ease of use. Despite its salience as a surrogate for effort intensity and its clear practical advantages, HR has been largely overlooked in the exoskeleton literature as an input for assistance adaptation.…”

Despite their potential, exoskeletons have not reached widespread adoption in daily life, partly due to the challenge of seamlessly adapting assistance across various tasks and environments. Task-specific designs, reliance on complex sensing and extensive data-driven training often limit the practicality of the existing control strategies. To address this challenge, we introduce an adaptive control strategy for hip exoskeletons, emphasizing minimal sensing and rapid deployability. Using only insole pressure and heart rate (HR) sensing, the controller modulates assistance across various locomotion tasks. We evaluated this strategy with twelve able-bodied participants in a real-world scenario including level walking, stairs, and inclines. The controller successfully adapted assistance timing and amplitude to different activities. This resulted in effort intensity reductions (measured by oxygen uptake) of up to 12.6\% compared to normal walking, and up to 25.5\% compared to walking with the passive exoskeleton. Cardiodynamic response of HR, although delayed, proved sufficient for adaptation in most tasks, and delay-induced limitations primarily affected brief bouts of abrupt change in intensity. However, we found discernible patterns in HR shortly after the onset of such changes that can be exploited to improve responsiveness. Our findings underscore the potential of HR as a promising measure of user effort intensity, encouraging future research to explore its integration into advanced adaptive algorithms.
