A Smart Ski Pole for Skiing Pattern Recognition and Quantification Application.

ABSTRACT: In cross-country skiing, ski poles play a crucial role in technique, propulsion, and overall performance. The kinematic parameters of ski poles can provide valuable information about the skier's technique, which is of great significance for coaches and athletes seeking to improve their skiing performance. In this work, a new smart ski pole is proposed, which combines the uniaxial load cell and the inertial measurement unit (IMU), aiming to provide comprehensive data measurement functions more easily and to play an auxiliary role in training. The ski pole can collect data directly related to skiing technical actions, such as the skier's pole force, pole angle, inertia data, etc., and the system's design, based on wireless transmission, makes the system more convenient to provide comprehensi
