Abstract

Bio-information is important to confirm the body condition. Especially, the muscle fatigue is related to injury or decrease of concentration. Therefore, it is required to evaluate muscle fatigue to make subject enjoy sports. In previous study, muscle fatigue is evaluated by using electromyogram (EMG). However, the electrode for EMG measurement is generally used for contact manor. The electrodes are disposable and it might cause the irritation of skin. Therefore, it isn't fitted for measurement of muscle fatigue. We developed wearable muscle fatigue detection system using capacitance coupling electrodes. Developed system isn't caused the irritation by electrodes and can reuse it. We compared the conventional system using disposable electrode system and our system to evaluate performance. We evaluated muscle fatigue from electromyogram before and after futsal. An integrated electromyogram and an intermediate frequency were used for the evaluation of muscle fatigue. As a result, half of subjects showed tendency of muscle fatigue. Therefore, we showed the possibility as muscle fatigue detection system using the capacity coupling electrodes.
