Machine learning aided jump height estimate democratization through smartphone measures
The peak height reached in a countermovement jump is a well established performance parameter. Its estimate is often entrusted to force platforms or body-worn inertial sensors. To date, smartphones may possibly be used as an alternative for estimating jump height, since they natively embed inertial sensors.

Estimation of ground reaction force waveforms during fixed pace running outside the laboratory
Wearable sensors are being used extensively for the collection of human running biomechanical data outside of the laboratory (1–5). The primary wearable sensors used recently in locomotion biomechanics have been multi-axial inertial measurement units (IMUs), which measure linear acceleration, angular velocity data as well as the local magnetic field.
