游泳穿戴式裝置開發之文獻回顧

A literature review in development of swimming wearable devices

隨著科技的發展，現今已有可以應用於記錄游泳運動歷程的穿戴式裝置之商品，這些裝置量測之指標包含：泳姿辨識、時間、距離、划手次數、划手頻率等等，來進行游泳訓練的監控。本文擬從游泳戴穿戴式裝置的相關前期基礎研究、開發近況（包括指標開發及演算法）及商品的驗證性研究等方面進行論述。雖然穿戴式科技已成功的應用在游泳運動，但仍存在有各種不同的工程議題待進一步解決，因此，本文亦針對游泳穿戴式裝置未來的發展提出見解與建議，期待未來的產品能夠在新興指標的開發、量測精準度提昇以及使用者友善程度等面向更進一步改善，給予游泳愛好者或菁英游泳運動員一個更多元回饋的環境，整體提升游泳的學習及訓練品質。

Due to the fast development of technology, there are a variety of swimming wearable devices which can be used to monitor training processes. Swimming indices such as stroke type, lap time, distance, stroke count and stroke rate can be quantified and recorded. This article is intended to discuss related researches, technique development and validation studies for commercially available products. Although wearable technologies have been successfully applied in swimming, there are still various engineering issues needed for further improvement. Therefore, the present article also provides suggestions for future development in swimming wearable devices, including the development of innovative indices, improvement in measurement accuracy, and more user-friendly designs. The upgrade of swimming devices will provide a multiple-feedback environment to either amateur or elite swimmers, which will comprehensively benefit to the quality of swimming learning and training.
