It is designed to measure performance metrics such as power and rolling resistance. Addressing the lack of accessible measuring tools in some paralympic sports, this solution combines affordable hardware and open-source software to obtain real-time data such as rotational speed, acceleration, or power among others. Initial tests with a high-performance athlete confirm the system’s accuracy and potential scalability. The project aims to democratize access to training technology in adapted sports.engIngenieríabook part10.1007/978-3-032-18746-8_11embargoed accessAtletaRehabilitación médicaPersonas con discapacidadGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries
