Real-time movement quality monitoring
Repetition counting
Exercise duration control
Rest interval monitoring
Perceived exertion scale (RPE) monitoring
Asynchronous training reports
AI-assisted feedback and training supervision
Main internship activities:
Support in data collection for AI training models
Participation in exercise protocol organization
Assistance in validation of digital exercise sessions
Development of technical digital manuals for senior users
Development of trainer user manuals
Support in reporting and organization of research outputs
Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams in health, sport sciences and digital innovation
Expected deliverables:
Technical digital user manual for senior participants
Technical operational manual for trainers
AI training dataset based on 80 exercises involving 10 senior participants
