Recent technological developments have led to the production of inexpensive, non-invasive,
miniature magneto-inertial sensors, ideal for obtaining sport performance measures during …

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

Background Middle-and long-distance running performance is constrained by several
important aerobic and anaerobic parameters. The efficacy of strength training (ST) for …

Running movements are parametrised using a wide variety of devices. Misleading
interpretations can be avoided if the interdependencies and redundancies between …

The choice of marathon racing shoes can greatly affect performance. The purpose of this
study is to metabolically and mechanically compare the consumer version of the Nike …

The economy of running has traditionally been quantified from the mass-specific oxygen
uptake; however, because fuel substrate usage varies with exercise intensity, it is more …

The aim of this study was to assess the performance of different kinematic features
measured by foot-worn inertial sensors for detecting running gait temporal events (eg, initial …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) have been extensively used to detect gait events. Various
methods have been proposed for detecting initial contact (IC) and toe-off (TO) using IMUs …

Objectives Running economy is a key determinant of endurance performance, and
understanding the biomechanical factors that affect it is of great theoretical and applied …

This paper brings a discussion on the current state-of-the-art in criticality assessment in an
international context. It analyzes the status of resource criticality concepts and their …
