Abstract:
Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into physical education (PE) presents opportunities for improving the methodologies for collecting, analysing, and managing student performance data. However, it also introduces technical challenges, particularly related to the real-time handling and protection of sensitive data in dynamic training environments. This paper presents a comprehensive solution outline based on a private local network architecture that supports scalable sensor data processing, real-time database integration, and mobile application interfaces. The proposed distributed system ensures data integrity, low-latency communication, and secure access while enabling educators to monitor student performance in real-time and review historical data. The system supports more personalised, data-driven training strategies by providing actionable insights for sports education.
