Ethics of Gamification in Health and Fitness-Tracking. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2021 The use of game-like elements is become increasingly popular in the context of fitness and health apps. While such “gamified” apps hold great potential in motivating people to improve their health, they also come with a “darker side”. Recent work suggests that these gamified health apps raise a number of ethical challenges that, if left unaddressed ...

Calorie tracking and energy balance: links to body image-related factors and functional impairment in a fitness sample [PDF]
Frontiers in NutritionCalorie tracking refers to the monitoring of daily caloric intake, often pursued for health- or weight-related purposes. Previous studies have found associations between tracking and disordered eating; however, the role of individuals’ energy balance and

Change and Tracking of Physical Fitness Among Children Aged 5–12 Years: A Systematic Review [PDF]
SportsBackground: Understanding physical fitness (PF) trajectories during childhood is essential because they reflect developmental differences and indicate whether early fitness levels predict later outcomes.

Putting BASIL in a BLT: A Bayesian filtering method for estimating the fitness effects of nascent adaptive mutations. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyThe distribution of fitness effects (DFE) of new beneficial mutations is a key quantity that dictates the dynamics of adaptation. The barcode lineage tracking (BLT) approach is an important advance toward measuring DFEs.

Sensors, 2022 Every soccer game influences each player’s performance differently. Many studies have tried to explain the influence of different parameters on the game; however, none went deeper into the core and examined it minute-by-minute.

, 2020 AbstractTrack fitting is an application of established statistical estimation procedures with well-known properties. For a long time, estimators based on the least-squares principle were—with some notable exceptions—the principal methods for track fitting. More recently, robust and adaptive methods have found their way into the reconstruction programs.

Kalman filter track fits and track breakpoint analysis [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2000 We give an overview of track fitting using the Kalman filter method in the NOMAD detector at CERN, and emphasize how the wealth of by-product information can be used to analyze track breakpoints (discontinuities in track parameters caused by scattering, decay, etc.).
