Nel campo della bioingegneria, il monitoraggio cardiovascolare degli atleti rappresenta un settore di particolare interesse e importanza. Grazie all'uso di dispositivi medici indossabili e portatili, è sempre più possibile acquisire in modo affidabile dati biomedici, come ECG e frequenza cardiaca, utili per il monitoraggio continuo durante l'attività fisica. Questi parametri possono variare in base allo sforzo a cui l'atleta viene sottoposto, fornendo informazioni utili per ottimizzare l'allenamento e prevenire possibili rischi legati a un eccessivo carico di lavoro come il comune “cuore d’atleta”. Il seguente elaborato si concentra sull'acquisizione di segnali cardiaci durante la Ginnastica Ritmica, con l'obiettivo di valutare l'efficacia e la precisione del sensore AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L. Lo studio ha coinvolto un gruppo di 6 atlete agoniste durante 3 sessioni di allenamento diverse, in ciascuna delle quali è stata monitorata, in 4 fasi di acquisizione diverse, la loro attività cardiaca a riposo e sotto sforzo. Seguendo uno specifico protocollo di sperimentazione, i dati sono stati acquisiti, organizzati nel database RGYM e successivamente analizzati per determinare le prestazioni del dispositivo in termini di qualità del segnale e capacità di rilevare aritmie o altre anomalie cardiache. I risultati suggeriscono che il sensore KardiaMobile è un valido strumento diagnostico di prima linea per il monitoraggio cardiovascolare continuo negli atleti; offre dati affidabili utili per individuare eventuali anomalie legati ad un’attività sportiva intensiva, ottimizzare i programmi di allenamento e garantire la sicurezza degli atleti, seppur con alcune limitazioni che possono essere uno spunto per futuri upgrade del sensore. Questo studio contribuisce al crescente corpo di ricerca sui dispositivi medici indossabili nello sport, evidenziando il loro potenziale per migliorare il monitoraggio delle prestazioni e la prevenzione sanitaria durante lo sport.

Abstract
In the field of bioengineering, cardiovascular monitoring of athletes is an area of particular interest and importance. Thanks to the use of wearable and portable medical devices, it is increasingly possible to reliably acquire biomedical data, such as ECG and heart rate, useful for continuous monitoring during physical activity. These parameters can vary depending on the exertion to which the athlete is subjected, providing useful information to optimise training and prevent possible risks related to excessive workload such as the common 'athlete's heart'. The following paper focuses on the acquisition of cardiac signals during Rhythmic Gymnastics, with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness and accuracy of the AliveCor KardiaMobile 6L sensor. The study involved a group of 6 female competitive athletes during 3 different training sessions, in each of which their cardiac activity at rest and under stress was monitored in 4 different acquisition phases. Following a specific experimental protocol, data were acquired, organised in the RGYM database and subsequently analysed to determine the performance of the device in terms of signal quality and ability to detect arrhythmias. of the signal and ability to detect arrhythmias or other cardiac abnormalities. The results suggest that the KardiaMobile sensor is a valuable diagnostic tool for first line for continuous cardiovascular monitoring in athletes; it offers reliable data useful to detect any abnormalities related to intensive sporting activity, optimise training training programmes and ensure the safety of athletes, albeit with certain limitations which may be a cue for future sensor upgrades.
