Running is associated with high rates of injury. One mechanism that has been proposed to contribute to running injury is greater exposure to 10-20 Hz frequencies. Typically, these frequencies are attenuated (decreased in power) as they travel up the body, however, attenuation may be compromised as runners become fatigued. Here, we report the first ever comparison of 10-20 Hz frequency attenuation in injured and uninjured runners across a fatiguing run.

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) provide exciting opportunities to collect large volumes of running biomechanics data in the real world. IMU signals may, however, be affected by variation in the initial IMU placement or movement of the IMU during use. To quantify the effect that changing an IMU’s location has on running data, a reference IMU was ‘correctly’ placed on the shank, pelvis, or sacrum of 74 participants. A second IMU was ‘misplaced’ 0.05 m away, simulating a ‘worst-case’ misplacement or movement. Participants ran over-ground while data were simultaneously recorded from the reference and misplaced IMUs.

Twenty-seven methods of estimating vertical ground reaction force first peak, loading rate, second peak, average, and/or time series from a single wearable accelerometer worn on the shank or approximate center of mass during running were compared. Force estimation errors were quantified for 74 participants across different running surfaces, speeds, and foot strike angles and biases, repeatability coefficients, and limits of agreement were modeled with linear mixed effects to quantify the accuracy, reliability, and precision.
