Abstract: | The biomechanical evaluation of elite athletes often requires the use of sophisticated laboratory-based equipment that is
restrictive, cumbersome, and often unsuitable for use in a training and competition environment. Small, low-mass unobtrusive
centre-of-mass triaxial accelerometers can be used to collect data but may not reveal all the information of interest. This
validation of centre-of-mass triaxial accelerometry uses previously reported synchronously collected foot-contact information
from in-shoe pressure sensors. A qualitative assessment of the system output indicates that the centre-of-mass acceleration
provides valuable insight into the use of accelerometers for investigating the biomechanics of, in this case, middle distance
runners. |
