K-means clustering variables definitions.

Variables Definitions
Kinetic measures
 Braking RFD (N/s) Difference in newtons from the end of braking to the start of braking divided by the duration of the braking phase
 Braking net impulse (N.s) Impulse above system weight during braking phase
 Propulsive net impulse (N.s) Impulse above system weight during propulsive phase
 Peak relative propulsive power (W/kg) Peak power during propulsive phase divided by kg of subject mass
Kinematic measures
 Braking phase (s) Duration of braking phase
 Propulsive phase (s) Duration of propulsive phase
 Max hip flexion (degrees) a Max flexion angle between pelvis and femur during loading phase
 Max knee flexion (degrees) a Max flexion angle between femur and tibia during loading phase
 Max ankle flexion (degrees) a Max flexion angle between tibia and foot during loading phase
 Dynamic valgus (degrees) a Measure of knee deviation from the leg Plane, which is defined using the positions of hip and ankle joint centers and the pelvis anterior direction
a

Markerless Motion Capture variables are from the start of the movement to the pelvis reaching minimum height; Force plate variables are described in Figure 1.
