Development of Portable Biofeedback Devices for Sport Applications

The purpose of this project is to propose a portable low cost of ECG and EMG devices that plays the role of continuous monitoring of the user heart rate and muscle activity. Recording and analysis of biological signal like Electrocardiography (ECG) and Electromyography (EMG) are important in the...
