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 seven inertial measurement units (IMUs) located on the lower legs, upper legs, pelvis, sternum, and wrist (underneath the watch), as well as a heart rate monitor and GPS watch, across three typical training sessions. The running protocols were performed on different days and consisted of an endurance run (END), an interval run (INT), and a 5 km sub-maximal effort (5K). Data were used to support the 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 (left and right; hip at 90 degrees flexion). A detailed explanation of the measurement protocol and equipment is provided in references [1] and [2]. Data collection took place between November 2023 and January 2024. A readme file is included that explains the data and to reproduce analyses.<br>[1] Scheltinga, B. L., Buurke, J. H., Kok, J. N., &amp; Reenalda, J. (2025).

本数据集收录12名受试者在三次典型训练课中采集的跑步运动数据。受试者佩戴7个惯性测量单元（inertial measurement unit, IMU），分别布置于小腿、大腿、骨盆、胸骨及腕表下方的手腕处，同时搭配心率监测仪与GPS运动手表。本次训练方案分三日完成，涵盖耐力跑（END）、间歇跑（INT）及5千米次最大强度跑（5K）三种类型。

本数据集的数据曾用于支撑两篇学术论文[1]与[2]的研究结论。在启动训练方案前，受试者需完成5次早安式屈髋动作、5次深蹲及5次膝关节屈伸动作（左右侧各一组，髋关节屈曲90度）。测量方案与设备的详细说明可参见参考文献[1]与[2]。数据采集时段为2023年11月至2024年1月。数据集附带readme文件，用于阐释数据内容与复现分析流程。<br>
