Performance monitoring and analysis of shooting form of basketball player using smart wearable device

In modern sports training, collecting and analyzing basketball player’s performance is of great significance for improving the scientific of the coach’s training plan and improving the athlete’s training effect. Rapid advancement in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) based smart wearable devices has motivated us to develop a device which can monitor the performance and analyze the shooting form of basketball players remotely. In this paper, we present the design of a system that can measure and analyze in real time, the free throw shooting action of a professional basketball player. A new heuristic tool has also been developed to analyse every phase of the shooting action to segment out an ideal shooting action of individual players. The developed tool is proven to be more efficient than the conventional k-map clustering approach.
