Recent technology advance in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has enabled the growth of various applications that can assist or enhance existing systems. For instance, the technology provided by IEEE 802.15.4 protocol that operates in 2.4GHz ISM band is suitable to be used in many applications since it is a low cost and low power wireless communication. In this paper, we present a performance study of node placement for training monitoring system for cyclist using IEEE 802.15.4 technology. A series of experiments were carried out to obtain the best node placement in the system in order to minimize the packet loss during data transmission on track cycling. Details of experiments' results are presented and data collected will be used further to design the training monitoring system.
