Among the most common injuries during swimming are shoulder and back injuries due to poor technique. This is a consequence of the amount of force applied to the shoulder joint in order to be capable of dragging the whole arm outside the water and an exaggerated undulation motion of the body when submerging of bringing oneself up to start another arm stroke. The purpose of this prototype is to register, analyze and visualize X and Y angles with reference to the gravitational pull in the following body segments: forearm, arm, breast and lower back. With this it is possible to generate a reference with which injuries can be prevented during swimming. This prototype a motion analysis protocol by means of sensors that record in real time and suggest changes to avoid injuries, portable, compact and low-cost design with acceptable results.
