PoseCheckr: Exercise Posture Correction Application Using Image Processing
Abstract

Fitness activities are tremendously beneficial to personal health and fitness; yet, if performed incorrectly by the user, they can be unproductive and perhaps hazardous. Workout mistakes occur when the user fails to adopt proper form or stance. PoseCheckr was developed to help people monitor and track their form and posture when performing a specific exercise with the utilization of Image Processing through Convolutional Neural Networks and MoveNet, a pose estimation model. The application is able to track 17 key points of the body and make a judgment whether their form is proper or improper. If an improper form was detected, the application will give helpful feedback on how to improve their form. The application also stores the progress of the user. The application has been developed to be used by different kinds of people for their own advantages. It is mainly developed to be used by everyday citizens to avoid and prevent injuries while performing an exercise. To assess the application, the developers conducted a survey with 50 participants, including gym goers, instructors, professors, students, and experts . Within the range of categories provided by the developers, the respondents gave the program an average rating of 4.29 out of 5.0. This value is reflected as Satisfactory. The findings of this study and the developed software have significant implications in the field of fitness and Pose Estimation. For future studies, the developers recommended diversifying poses for various fitness levels, providing detailed pose explanations, collecting user feedback, and conducting long-term studies to enhance the inclusivity, safety, and effectiveness of pose exercises.
