Designing a New Smart Sport Shoes

Abstract

Objective The advancement of technology in various fields opens up new opportunities for the future. Technology plays an essential role in sports and sports equipment. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to design and manufacture new smart sports shoes with the ability to measure the ground reaction force. Methods The current research is of an applied type in order to design and manufacture new smart sports shoes with the ability to measure ground reaction force. After preparing the electronic parts, the control board was first checked using the Jag test. Then, the electronic board was designed and simulated using Altium Designer software, along with other parts. Finally, after soldering the parts, programming was done using Micro Python software. Results Considering that each sport has its own exercises and a specific order, smart sports shoes can help athletes identify and control the forces they apply to their lower body during various sports activities. Conclusion The use of new smart sports shoes to measure ground reaction forces and display them online during various sports activities can be useful.
