Specifically, three mobile sensors (tags), six stationary anchors and a system-controlling server (gateway) were employed for 15 scenarios of the series of subsequent activities, namely squats, pull-ups and dips. The proposed solution consists of two modules: an activity recognition module (ARM) and a repetition-counting module (RCM). The former is responsible for extracting the series of subsequent activities (so-called scenario), and the latter determines the number of repetitions of a given activity in a single series. Data used in this study contained 488 three defined sport activity occurrences. Data processing was conducted to enhance performance, including an overlapping and non-overlapping window, raw and normalized data, a convolutional neural network (CNN) with an additional post-processing block (PPB) and repetition counting. The developed system achieved satisfactory accuracy: CNN + PPB: non-overlapping window and raw data, 0.88; non-overlapping window and normalized data, 0.78; overlapping window and raw data, 0.92; overlapping window and normalized data, 0.87. For repetition counting, the achieved accuracies were 0.93 and 0.97 within an error of \u00b11 and \u00b12 repetitions, respectively. The archived results indicate that the proposed system could be a helpful tool to support the correct implementation of sport exercises and could be successfully implemented in further work in the form of web application detecting the user\u2019s sport activity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23031137","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]],"date-time":"2023-01-19T03:16:52Z","timestamp":1674098212000},"page":"1137","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Inertial Sensor-Based Sport Activity Advisory System Using Machine Learning Algorithms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2439-2865","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justyna","family":"Patalas-Maliszewska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Mechanical Engineering, University of Zielona G\u00f3ra, 65-417 Zielona Gora, Poland"},{"name":"Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3923-9057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iwona","family":"Pajak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Mechanical Engineering, University of Zielona G\u00f3ra, 65-417 Zielona Gora, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal","family":"Krutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3649-399X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Pajak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Mechanical Engineering, University of Zielona G\u00f3ra, 65-417 Zielona Gora, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Rehm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holger","family":"Schlegel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Dix","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9995","DOI":"10.1109\/TITS.2021.3097385","article-title":"Inertial Sensing Meets Machine Learning: Opportunity or Challenge?","volume":"23","author":"Li","year":"2022","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
