BACKGROUND: Running is a popular physical activity that benefits health; however, running surface characteristics may influence loading impact and injury risk. Machine learning algorithms could automatically identify running surface from wearable mot...
Changes of directions and cutting maneuvers, including 180-degree turns, are common locomotor actions in team sports, implying high mechanical load. While the mechanics and neurophysiology of turns have been extensively studied in laboratory conditio...

With the rising popularity of activity tracking, there is a desire to not only count the number of steps a person takes, but also identify the type of step (e.g., walking or running) they are taking. For rehabilitation and athletic training, this dif...
Kinematic analysis is often performed with a camera system combined with reflective markers placed over bony landmarks. This method is restrictive (and often expensive), and limits the ability to perform analyses outside of the lab. In the present st...
Field-based sprint performance assessments rely on metrics derived from a simple model of sprinting dynamics parameterized by 2 constants, v and τ, which indicate a sprinter's maximal theoretical velocity and the time it takes to approach v, respecti...
We report on the development and analysis of a new torque-actuated dissipative spring loaded inverted pendulum model with rolling contact (TDR-SLIP), which is a successor to the previously developed spring loaded inverted pendulum model with rolling ...
The aim was to objectively identify key performance indicators in professional soccer that influence outfield players' league status using an artificial neural network. Mean technical performance data were collected from 966 outfield players' (mean S...
Wearable technology has been viewed as one of the plausible alternatives to capture human motion in an unconstrained environment, especially during running. However, existing methods require kinematic and kinetic measurements of human body segments a...

PURPOSE: Cardiac troponin (cTn) is the gold standard biomarker for assessing cardiac damage. Previous studies have demonstrated increases in plasma cTn because of extreme exercise, including marathon running. We developed an easy-to-use, ultrasensiti...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that distinct and homogenous sub-groups of gait patterns exist among runners with patellofemoral pain (PFP), based on gait analysis. However, acquisition of 3D kinematic data using optical systems is time c...
