ABSTRACT

Due to the effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic, many people have stopped going to fitness centers to work out and play sports with other people. In this situation, core training is one of the types of training that anyone may quickly start indoors by themselves. However, when exercising alone, it might be challenging to determine whether or not the training posture is correct, which could significantly diminish the training’s effectiveness. In this research, we propose a core training support system, “CoreMoni”, that uses an acceleration sensor to construct a training environment with or without an instructor, support health promotion, and show its effectiveness. Ten subjects in their twenties participated in the two events experiments with and without the system. After they completed the experiment, they answered two questionnaires, about the usability of “CoreMoni,” and the impression of the different feedback methods. As a result of the t-test, both training events posture data showed a significant difference, and the questionnaire results also showed that “CoreMoni” had excellent usability.
