Microprocessor-based athlete health monitoring device based on heart rate and stride length calculation
Abnormal heart rate or low heart rate during exercise or recovery has been known to cause cardiac arrest and even sudden death in some cases. Similarly, research has shown that low step rate while running may be the causal factor for running injuries due to the force impact exerted and the extra loa...
