Full body motion capture (IMU) data of 16 tactical, operation-relevant movements

Tactical movement data was collected at the Army Research Lab (Aberdeen, MD), focusing on movements with high operational relevance in military contexts. Due to the necessity of recruiting active-duty soldiers to perform realistic tactical actions, increasing the number of participants posed logistical challenges. Therefore, four active-duty soldiers were recruited for this study and informed consent was obtained from all subjects prior to their data collection. The subjects completed the Load Effects Assessment Program \u2013Army (LEAP-A) course three times at a self-selected pace, maximizing the number of samples within the constraints. Each subject was instrumented with 16-channel IMUs (Noraxon myoMotion, Scottsdale, AZ) for full-body motion capture, resulting in a total of 12 samples for each of the 16 tactical movements. All IMU-generated data for each activity were sampled at 200 Hz and filtered for noise cancellation using a 4th-order low-pass Butterworth filter with a cutoff frequency of 10 Hz.
