Detection of Movement Events of Long-Track Speed Skating Using Wearable Inertial Sensors. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2021 Inertial measurement units (IMUs) have been used increasingly to characterize long-track speed skating. We aimed to estimate the accuracy of IMUs for use in phase identification of long-track speed skating.
