The purpose of this study was to identify consistent features in the signals supplied by a
single inertial measurement unit (IMU), or thereof derived, for the identification of foot-strike …

Background The popular protocol used to study running motion suffers from problems that
lead to a limited ability to generalize the obtained results. Inertial measurement units (IMU) …

The proper execution of the sprint start is crucial in determining the performance during a
sprint race. In this respect, when moving from the crouch to the upright position, trunk …

During sprint acceleration, step length, step rate, ground contact, and airtime are key
variables for coaches to guide the training process and technical development of their …

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is widely considered to be an economical alternative to
capture human motion in daily activities. Use of an IMU for clinical study, rehabilitation, and …

Stride parameters like step length, step rate or stance duration during sprinting represent
basic and very useful information for track and field coaches. Contact mats or opto-electronic …

This study describes a method for extracting the stride parameter ground contact time (GCT)
from inertial sensor signals in sprinting. Five elite athletes were equipped with inertial …

Current developments in inertial sensor technology could enable the measurement of
running gait outside of the traditional laboratory environment. The purpose of this research …

The purpose was to compare step-by-step kinematics measured using force plates
(criterion), an IMU only and a combined laser IMU system in well-trained sprinters. Fourteen …

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the feasibility of using a single inertial
measurement unit (IMU) placed on the sacrum to estimate 3-dimensional ground reaction …
