Change of direction movement is common in sports and the ability to perform this complex
movement efficiently is related to athlete's performance. Wearable devices have been used …

Wearable sensors have been proposed as alternatives to traditional laboratory equipment
for low-cost and portable real-time gait analysis in unconstrained environments. However …

The Agility T-test is a standardized method to measure the change-of-direction (COD) ability
of athletes in the field. It is traditionally scored based on the total completion time, which …

Footwork is the most fundamental skill in badminton, involving the ability of acceleration or
deceleration and changing directions on the court, which is related to accurate shots and …

This study introduces a new method to understand how added load affects human
performance across a broad range of athletic tasks (ten obstacles) embedded in an outdoor …

The growing elderly population in smart home environments necessitates increased remote
medical support and frequent doctor visits. To address this need, wearable sensor …

Standard clinical assessments of mild traumatic brain injury are inadequate to detect subtle
abnormalities that can be revealed by sophisticated diagnostic technology. An association …

Stair running, both ascending and descending, is a challenging aerobic exercise that many
athletes, recreational runners, and soldiers perform during training. Studying biomechanics …

Running agility is required for many sports and other physical tasks that demand rapid
changes in body direction. Quantifying agility skill remains a challenge because measuring …

The aim of this paper is to determine the discriminative potential of the IMU‐based system
for the measurement of rapid hand movement properties, ie, relevant kinematic variables in …
