Table 5.

Sensors’ positions and configurations on the athlete’s body (front and back views). The different positions are coded with specific body segment capital letters (C—chest-back; U—upper arm; A—forearm; W—wrist; H—hand; P—pelvis; T—thigh; S—shank; F—foot) and numbers (to distinguish different positions for the same body segment). The different configurations are specified in terms of type of device (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) and number of dimensions (one-, two-, three-dimensional). Each configuration is reported in a different column.
