Background:

Muscular fatigue is a common issue for individuals performing strenuous activities like athletes and soldiers.
Existing monitoring systems may not adequately address fatigue detection and sensor power management in dynamic environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the FAtigue MEasurement (FAME) protocol for monitoring muscular fatigue in soccer players and soldiers.
To develop a self-sustaining sensor system using Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASNs).

Main Methods:

FAME utilizes in-vivo sensors with pre-set threshold levels to detect fatigue.
A composite parameter is introduced for a comprehensive fatigue assessment.
Vibration pads are employed for muscle relaxation and to harvest energy for recharging in-vivo sensors via a vibration detection circuit.

Main Results:

The proposed FAME protocol demonstrates superior performance compared to the Wireless Soccer Team Monitoring (WSTM) protocol in simulations.
The induction circuit achieves approximately 68% link efficiency for sensor recharging.
FAME effectively identifies states of fatigue based on sensor data exceeding threshold levels.

Conclusions:

The FAME protocol offers an effective solution for monitoring muscular fatigue in demanding physical activities.
The integration of self-recharging sensors enhances the practicality and sustainability of WBASNs for athletes and soldiers.
FAME presents a promising advancement in wearable health monitoring for performance and safety.
