Race Walking Loss of Contact Chip Android App

Race Walking Loss of Contact Chip Android App is an application designed to provide real-time feedback on loss of contact in race walking by interacting with a custom electronic chip. The app utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to wirelessly receive, and process data collected by the chip, which is embedded in the athlete's footwear or clothing and contains sensors to detect when the walker has both feet off the ground, which is a violation of the sport's rules. The application offers a visual and auditory interface that immediately alerts the athlete to any instances of contact loss, helping in form correction and training. The app also tracks and displays metrics such as the frequency, duration, and specific phase of contact loss over a training session, providing coaches and athletes with data to optimize technique and maintain legal form during competition and training.
