This paper introduces "THE-FAME," a protocol aimed at monitoring player fatigue in soccer using Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASN). By employing multiple sinks and specialized sensors, it continuously tracks critical fatigue parameters such as running speed, distance covered, and blood lactic acid levels. The proposed system enhances real-time health reporting to coaches and officials, addressing the lack of existing research on WBASN applications in sports. Simulation results demonstrate improved throughput, network longevity, and reduced energy consumption, proving its efficacy for sports and strenuous activity monitoring.

Outline • Introduction • Motivation • Fatigue Parameters • Proposed Protocol • Simulation Results • Conclusion
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) A WSN consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, pressure, etc. and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a control center.
Wireless Body Area Sensor Network (WBASN) WBASN is a branch of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). They use tiny sensors to monitor vital signs of human being. These sensors are either wearable or implanted into a human body.
Applications of WBASN WBASN is mainly employed for patient monitoring. WBASN can also be used in many other fields like: • Astronauts’ vital organ monitoring • Sports • Birds tracking • Cattle monitoring
Motivation • There is only a little research on employing WBASN in sports. • In sports, like soccer, where a team of players is on the ground, it is difficult to monitors each player’s fatigue manually. • So, we propose a protocol to constantly measure fatiguefor each player and send live health reports to coaches and health officials during the game.
Fatigue Parameters • Running speed of a player • Distance covered • Lactic acid level in blood
Running speed of a player • Soccer match usually lasts for 90 to 100 minutes. During this time players walk, jog, run and sprint.
Distance covered There are different types of players in a soccer team. • Attacking players • Defensive players • Mid-fielders • Goal keeper A goal keeper is very less likely to be in a fatigued state because he/she covers minimum distance during the match.
Lactic acid level in blood • For a normal human being the value of lactic acid level is between 4.5 to 19.8 mg/dL (0.5-2.2 mmol/L). • Where mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter and mmol/L = millimoles per liter. • When this level increases from 20 mg/dL, there is a strong chance that the player is seriously injured and need proper medical care and time to heal.
THE-FAME’s Parameters In our proposed protocol we used: • Two teams of 11 players each. • 6 sinks on the boundary of the ground. • Each player has an implanted sensor. • Threshold for lactic acid level is 20 mg/dL. • Reference Point Group Mobility Model (RPGM).
Compared protocol A scheme called ”Wireless sensor network for Soccer Team Monitoring [1]” (WSTM) has also done player monitoring.
Simulation Results All the simulations are done using Matlab. Simulations are carried out for the following parameters: • Dead Nodes • Total packets to sinks • Packets dropped • Packets received successfully • Residual energy • Throughput
Conclusion The proposed protocol ”THE-FAME” succeed in achieving: • Better throughput • Longer network life • Lesser propagation delay • More residual energy in the network It is suitable for: • Any sport which requires constant monitoring of player’s • health. • People performing strenuous activities in their daily life. • Patients with chronic muscle fatigue.
