The assessment of fatigue-related changes in stride mechanics, variability and long-range correlations in recreational and elite distance runners using foot-mounted inertial sensors
This thesis was designed to assess stride mechanics, variability and long-range correlations during running, as well as their relationship with fatigue and skill level. For this purpose, three separate experiments were conducted. As a first step, it was established whether a simple hardware setup …

The identification of gait asymmetry in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis
… 2) gait speed, 3) time in stance phase, 4) stride length, and 5) time in swing phase. The test was administered in a 25 meters walkway, which was measured using a tape measurer, two cones were placed on each end, one at the beginning and one cone at the end of the distance. Results: We found …

Analysis of movement in pace and tölt in the Icelandic horse
… from the video footage. Attributes such as beat, stride length, stride frequency, speed, suspension and the ratio between stance phases of the frontlimbs and hindlimbs were analyzed and compared to subjectively scored data Horses in high quality tölt (score ≥ 9) had a much higher range of speed, …

Cardiorespiratory, kinematic, neuromuscular and metabolic characteristics during the recovery period after an ultramarathon race
… on submaximal oxygen consumption and stride length. The experimental group consisted of 11 male runners (39.7 ± 9.3 years) competing in a 90 km ultramarathon. Ten male runners (41.0 ± 10.8 years) who did not run the 90 km ultramarathon formed the control group. Maximum oxygen …

Youth Pitching Kinematics: Associations with Body Overweight Parameters
… considered were measurements 1) at foot contact: stride length, front foot position, shoulder external rotation, shoulder abduction, and elbow flexion; 2) between FC and ball release: peak knee extension; and 3) at BR: shoulder abduction. Data from three separate collection sites examined pitching …

Validation and standardisation of a two dimensional motion analysis technique to measure normal conformation and gait in Arabian horses.
… Intra-horse variation in conformation and stride characteristics (stride length and RUM) were measured in a group of three horses over five consecutive days. Stride length was consistently longer on day one than subsequent days for all horses (P<0.001), and positively correlated to …

Effects of cycling pedal rate on running kinematics and neuromuscular timing in triathletes
… two minutes of each run and used to quantify stride length and individual joint range of motion (ROM) characteristics for 10 strides. Analysis of variance was used to determine differences among the three run conditions for each dependent variable. No significant (P > 0.05) differences were …

A Biomechanical Analysis of Sprinters vs. Distance Runners at Equal and Maximal Speeds
… knee, thigh, and shank positions, as well as stride length, and contact time. <strong>RESULTS:</strong> Significant differences (p < .05) between the sprint and distance groups at maximal speed were found in the following areas: speed, minimum hip angle, knee extension at toe-off, stride …

Kinematic and Kinetic Analyses of E-TPU Material in Bowling Footwear
… angles and velocities of hip, knee, and ankle, stride length, and linear ball velocity. For the static testing, a t-test was conducted to compare the amount of vertical ground reaction force between the traditional bowling footwear with minimalist midsole design and the modified bowling footwear …

Tracking and Analysis of Ecological Human Walking With Wearable Sensors
… first, we quantify gait characteristics such as stride length, speed, and height, in young, healthy subjects (N = 11) in their everyday lives for seven days. Subjects take the majority of steps as part of short, variable walking bouts, and though they have a preferred speed, their actual stride …
