The purpose of the investigation was to determine the validity of a portable vertical accelerometer and a Large-Scale Integrated Motor Activity Monitor (LSI) for estimating energy expenditure in riding a bicycle at various velocities. Instrument placement was either at the knee or ankle. Energy consumption, i.e. oxygen consumption (VO2) was determined during bicycle rides after steady state metabolism was reached. Standard errors of estimate were used to express the accuracy of estimating VO2 from accelerometer or LSI recordings. The reliability of the vertical accelerometer was found to be satisfactory. The vertical accelerometer was also effective for estimating VO2 in bicycling (standard errors of estimate = 3.3 to 4.4 ml.kg-1.min-1). The accuracy of the LSI was not as good; the standard errors of estimate being = 5.9 to 8.5 ml.kg-1.min-1.

The present study analyzed the kinematic changes under fatigue in highly trained adolescent swimmers during a 50-m all-out front cwal test. Twenty-four girls and fourteen boys aged 12-13 participated in the study. The movement of the hip rim was analyzed using a specialized inertial device equipped with a triaxial gyroscope and accelerometer to measure changes in angular velocity and acceleration.

Background: Accelerometers are widely adopted for physical activity (PA) measurement. Accelerometry data require pre-processing before entering formal statistical analyses. Many pre-processing criteria may influence PA outcomes and the processed sample, impacting results in subsequent statistical analyses.

This paper analyses different modes and cycles of seat vibration in city buses by analysing acceleration peak magnitudes and their trends and fluctuations in the time domain. The purpose is to find peak vibration modes that exist in the driving patterns of city buses. Analysing peaks in a time series is essential for many applications specifically in vibration analysis because they represent significant events.

Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how different criteria of physical activity (CoPs) affect the classification of active preschoolers, analyzing data from 134 children aged 3-5 using a tri-axial accelerometer over seven days.
- - The Pate CoP classified the highest percentage of children as active on both weekdays (73.9%) and weekends (85.6%), while the Johansson CoP labeled all participants as inactive.
- - There was a notable gender difference in activity levels, with more boys being classified as active compared to girls, and overall activity rates were lower on weekends, particularly among females. The choice of CoPs significantly impacted the results.
A Pilot Study Comparing Intentional Shoulder Kinematics of Patients With Symptomatic Small-Size Supraspinatus Full-Thickness Tears With Healthy Controls.

Introduction: The prevailing view is that painful shoulders exhibit abnormal kinematics. This study explores the impact of symptomatic small-size supraspinatus tendon full-thickness tears on the three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of intentional, effortless shoulder movements. The hypothesis suggests that mechanical force buildup patterns, as indicated by motion jerk, will differ between healthy individuals and patients with symptomatic rotator cuff tendinopathy.
