Positive Effects of Augmented Feedback to Reduce Time on Ground in Well-Trained Runners

Abstract

The provision of aF about GCT seems to be a promising approach that should be considered during training practice of well-trained runners.

Effects of Wearable Devices with Biofeedback on Biomechanical Performance of Running—A Systematic Review

“…The most popular sensors used to evaluate running performance were accelerometers [56,[61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74]. Among fifteen included articles using accelerometers, three used wired accelerometers [61,66,71], six articles used wireless technology [62,63,67,70,72,73] and the type of connection is not mentioned in the remaining six articles [56,64,65,68,69,74]. The number of axes in the accelerometers varied, including uniaxial [68], biaxial [61,63], triaxial [62,64,65,[69][70][71][72][73][74].…”

Two included articles did not disclose the number of axes of their accelerometers [56,66], and in another two articles, the accelerometer was part of commercial devices such as Aximo PADIS [73] and Garmin FR70 [62,72].…”

Two included articles did not disclose the number of axes of their accelerometers [56,66], and in another two articles, the accelerometer was part of commercial devices such as Aximo PADIS [73] and Garmin FR70 [62,72]. The measurement range of the wireless accelerometers varied between ± 2.8 g to ± 50 g, whereas the laboratory-based did not include their range in their description.…”

The “Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology” Journal Club Series: Highlights on Recent Papers in Athletic Training

“…Nowadays, it is common to quantify athletic training [4]. The resulting data can be used to monitor the workout, to estimate the change in the performance, or to provide feedback to the athlete [5]. More mobile and relatively low-cost measurement devices for the personal athletic level are available, mainly in a nonlaboratory setting.…”
