    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Erik Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : Long jump; long jump performance; AFT; super shoes; super spikes; carbon fiber plate; athletics; track field; jump; biomechanics; sprint; speed; force;

    Abstract : Background and aim The pace of development of distance running shoes has been fast-forward since 2016 when Nike introduced their model Nike Zoom Vaporfly, with an imbedded carbon fiber plate and an advanced newly developed Pebax®-foam. The shoe-development has continued to track events, with the introduction of carbon fiber plate in several shoe-models for running and sprint- events. READ MORE

  3. 7. Supervised classification for human movement data : A comparative study of functional and traditional methods

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Statistik

    Author : Markus Lindvall; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Functional data analysis (FDA) has a growing importance in statistics, especially in disciplines like biomechanics, where it is common to observe data over time. The objective of this thesis is to employ FDA techniques and compare the classification performance of supervised classification models utilizing functional data with the same models using a discrete summary measurement (max-values) as input.
