Dare to Dream Different Contest - Fitness Manager

Bosco s Test and Conconi s Test are a two tests, well documented in sport science and medicine, for estimate the fit status of an athlete. Actually these two tests, and many others, require high-priced hardware systems targeted only to professional sportsperson, for this reason they are absent in many bodybuilding club, university campus and sport society. These performance tests are generally not so difficult to execute if you have the right instruments and are absolutely non-invasive for the person. For example, Bosco s test is a test that estimates the anaerobic power generated during a jump. Using an instrumented landing pad, the exact time spent in the air is measured during a series of repeated maximum jumps, standardized with respect to the amount of knee and hip flexion. Our plan is to build an open, inexpensive system, that can be assembled using standard hardware components and running an open source software written in c# to perform these tests. Our aim is to spread the use and knowledge of these test systems to athletics hobbyist or semi-professionals. We focused first on Bosco and Conconi tests for practical reasons easy realization , but we plan to build an hardw
