Due to the sensors WSNs nodes are provided with, and to their ubiquity and pervasive capabilities, these networks become extremely suitable for many applications that so-called conventional cabled or wireless networks are unable to handle. One of these still underdeveloped applications is monitoring physical parameters on a person. This is an especially interesting application regarding their age or activity, for any detected hazardous parameter can be notified not only to the monitored person as a warning, but also to any third party that may be helpful under critical circumstances, such as relatives or healthcare centers. We propose a system built to monitor a sportsman\/woman during a workout session or performing a sport-related indoor activity. Sensors have been deployed by means of several nodes acting as the nodes of a WSN, along with a semantic middleware development used for hardware complexity abstraction purposes. The data extracted from the environment, combined with the information obtained from the user, will compose the basis of the services that can be obtained.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s130201787","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,31]],"date-time":"2013-01-31T15:26:21Z","timestamp":1359645981000},"page":"1787-1835","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Combining Wireless Sensor Networks and Semantic Middleware for an Internet of Things-Based Sportsman\/Woman Monitoring Application"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Molina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Tecnolog\u00edas Software y Sistemas Multimedia para la Sostenibilidad (CITSEM), Edificio La Arboleda, Campus Sur UPM, Ctra Valencia, Km 7, 28031 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9-Fern\u00e1n","family":"Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Tecnolog\u00edas Software y Sistemas Multimedia para la Sostenibilidad (CITSEM), Edificio La Arboleda, Campus Sur UPM, Ctra Valencia, Km 7, 28031 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Castillejo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Tecnolog\u00edas Software y Sistemas Multimedia para la Sostenibilidad (CITSEM), Edificio La Arboleda, Campus Sur UPM, Ctra Valencia, Km 7, 28031 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6049-1257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lourdes","family":"L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n en Tecnolog\u00edas Software y Sistemas Multimedia para la Sostenibilidad (CITSEM), Edificio La Arboleda, Campus Sur UPM, Ctra Valencia, Km 7, 28031 Madrid, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Huang, Y., and Li, G.
