Strain gauge as chest sensor

Hello!

I'm thinking of using a strain gauge to detect the chest movements that occur during cough (to detect cough).
The problem is that I'm not familiar to strain gauges, as I don't know how to implement it.
I've done this using a piezoeletric with a elastic around the chest. How can I do something similar with a strain gauge?
Example: https://www.researchgate.net/public...t_the_Numbers_Mean_for_Monitoring_Respiration
But I don't know how it's done!
Also read about mercury-in-rubber strain gauges..
Suggestions? :)
