Multi-Sensor Running Dataset: IMU, Heart Rate, and GPS Data from 12 Runners across Three Training Sessions

This dataset contains data collected from 12 participants, running with 7 inertial measurement units (located on lower legs, upper legs, pelvis, sternum and wrist (underneath watch)), heart rate monitor and GPS watch for three typical training sessions (Figure 1). The running protocols were done on different days and consisted of an endurance run (END), interval run (INT) and 5km sub-maximum effort (5K). Data were used to support research findings of two articles: [1] and [2].Before starting the running protocol, participants performed five forward hip bends (good mornings), five squats and, five knee flexion/extension movements (for left and right; with hip in 90 degrees flexion). Detailed explanation of the measurement protocol and equipment is given in the references [1] and [2]. The data were collected between November 2023 and January 2024.<br>[1] Scheltinga, B.

本数据集收录了12名受试者的采集数据，受试者在三次典型跑步训练（见图1）中佩戴了7台惯性测量单元（inertial measurement unit），分别置于小腿、大腿、骨盆、胸骨及腕表下方的手腕处，同时佩戴心率监测仪与GPS腕表。跑步测试方案于不同日期完成，涵盖耐力跑（END）、间歇跑（INT）与5千米亚最大强度跑（5K）三种类型。
本数据集用于支撑两篇学术论文[1]与[2]的研究结论。在正式开展跑步测试方案前，受试者需完成5次向前髋屈练习（俗称早安式体前屈）、5次深蹲，以及5次膝关节屈伸动作（左右侧各1组，髋关节保持90度屈曲状态）。测量方案与设备的详细说明可参见参考文献[1]与[2]。本次数据采集工作于2023年11月至2024年1月期间完成。
