Bone stress injuries, including stress fractures, are overuse injuries that lead to substantial
morbidity in active individuals. These injuries occur when excessive repetitive loads are …

Background Running gait assessment has traditionally been performed using subjective
observation or expensive laboratory-based objective technologies, such as three …

Causal pathways between training loads and the mechanisms of tissue damage and athletic
injury are poorly understood. Here, the relation between specific training load measures and …

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that can perform electronic functions such as
sensing, computation, display, and communication. They can enhance the functionality of …

Bone stress injuries (BSIs) occur at inopportune times to invariably interrupt training. All BSIs
in runners occur due to an “error” in workload wherein the interaction between the number …

In biomechanics, joint kinetics has an important role in evaluating the mechanical load of the
joint and understanding its motor function. Although an optical motion capture (OMC) system …

With the emergence of wearable technology and machine learning approaches, gait
monitoring in real-time is attracting interest from the sports biomechanics community. This …

Wearable pressure sensors have been emerging for recording human biomechanical
information during movement and action behavior. When combined with advanced signals …

Peak tibial acceleration (PTA) is a widely used indicator of tibial bone loading. Indirect bone
loading measures are of interest to reduce the risk of stress fractures during running …

The use of small, interconnected and intelligent tools within the broad framework of
pervasive computing for analysis and assessments in sport and physical activity is not a …
