Abstract

Cricketers are dynamic players in the field and hence more vulnerable to injuries. The injury rate of Sri Lankan cricketers is very high, resulting in their careers being shortened. Therefore, we established a workload management system for cricketers to resolve this issue with wearable Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors mounted on their bodies. In order to mitigate their accidents, we evaluated kinds of the activities performed by an athlete using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and computed the workload parameters after the session. The expected results of our project were to develop a system to collect and analyze the critical workload parameters of cricketers and showcase results in a user-friendly manner.
