Wireless body ECG sensor is a feasible solution for reliable and accurate long-term heart rhythm monitoring. However, there were no studies that delt with usability of this sensor in field testing. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to evaluate the quality of ECG signal measured with wearable wireless ECG body-sensor when used in field test settings and to determine how different types of sensors' fixation affect quality of the ECG signal during submaximal and maximal running settings. Twenty-three participants, 10 females and 13 males, were included in the study (20.56±1.19 years). All subjects performed shuttle run (SR), Cooper 2400 m (C), and 100 m sprint test (S), once wearing the sensor attached to self-adhesive skin electrodes, additionally fixed with self-adhesive tapes, and secondly with the sensor attached to Polar belt and strapped around the chests. Test outcomes were compared applying Student t-test for dependent variables, or non-parametric Wilcoxon test, depending on the results of normality test.
