The intent of the article is to present a wearable system for assessing the physical fitness of team members in an ICE (isolated, confined and extreme) environment. A device enables recording, preprocessing and sending the measured MoCap and EMG data in real time to the PC. The system is composed of new HW, SW and ICT tools. Sensors of the system can be placed on selected body segments and in the exercise equipment structure to monitor motion and EMG data during exercises. The purpose of the unique system is to enable the examination and elimination of the effects of the ICE environment on various aspects of the subject's physical fitness. The system will enable the maintenance of sufficient physical activity and fitness of teams working or staying in ICE environments, thus increasing the safety and efficiency of teams' work and stay.
