    Level

  • (a)

    1–10 participants (8), 11–20 participants (10), 21–30 (4), 31–40 (2), 41–50 (1), 51–100 (5), <100 (3), not given (1)

Type of Wearable Sensor Technology and Sensor Placement * Accelerometer/IMU on lower limb beneath the knee (11), accelerometer/IMU embedded in helmet or placed on the head (10), accelerometer/IMU multiple body segments—trunk, pelvis, body suit (9), insole force sensors (4), not given (1)
Additional Technology for Validation * Force plate/instrumented treadmill (15), camera/video recordings (14), GPS enabled watch (1), handheld dynamometer (1), Vertec Jump Trainer (1), photo-electric timing system (1)

* Several studies have split origin between two countries and have utilized more than one type of wearable sensor and/or additional technology; thus, numbers may sum up to <34.
