Resumen

Currently, high-level footballers focus their performance on dedicating daily exercises that improve both their sports talent and their own health, with the main objective of evolving and optimally representing their country in international competitions. However, during his development as a high-level footballer, he suffers a series of injuries due to poorly performed exercises or because he does not have the necessary information to know if the athlete is having an incremental internal injury that may even lead him to abandon the sport. Our proposal focuses on the use of the HUMON wearable, located on the footballer's thigh, for data collection, with muscle oxygen saturation (SMO2) being relevant, which, through the data analysis technique, will allow us to have as an output information if the athlete is vulnerable or prone to serious injuries, which will be shown through a Web Application.
