Estimation of horizontal running power using foot-worn inertial measurement units

Kamiar Aminian, Salil Apte, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard

Feedback of power during running is a promising tool for training and determining pacing strategies. However, current power estimation methods show low validity and are not customized for running on different slopes. To address this issue, we developed thr ...

Estimation of Temporal Parameters During Running with a Wrist-worn Inertial Sensor: an In-field Validation

Kamiar Aminian, Salil Apte

The aim of this study was to estimate the temporal gait parameters using a wrist-worn Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) during an outdoor run. While it is easier to compute running gait parameters using foot IMUs, a wrist IMU is more convenient and less obtr ...
