    Consistency of sex-based differences between treadmill and overground running using an inertial measurement unit (IMU)

    Differences in running gait between treadmill and overground running has been subject of study, while consistency of group differences between running surfaces has not been previously analysed. This study examined both the differences between running surfaces and the consistency of sex-based differences between surfaces in some spatiotemporal and kinematic variables measured by an inertial measurement unit fastened over the lumbar spine. Thirty-two (sixteen females) endurance runners firstly performed overground and then treadmill (1 % inclination) runs at speeds between 9-21 km.h-1. Males showed lower flight time (FT) [moderate effect size (ES)] during treadmill running compared to overground, while females showed greater stride frequency (SF) (moderate ES), lower stride length (SL) (moderate ES), FT (moderate ES), and vertical (VT) trunk displacement (moderate ES), as well as greater medio-lateral (ML) trunk displacement (moderate ES). No differences in CT between surfaces were found (trivial to small). Furthermore, all the sex-differences were consistent between treadmill and overground running: Males showed lower SF (large and moderate ES, respectively), greater SL (large and moderate ES) and CT (moderate and large ES), lower FT (large ES), greater VT displacement (moderate to large ES), and lower ML displacement (moderate ES) than females. These results may be of interest to carefully transfer the running gait analyses between surfaces depending on sex.

    Frecuencia de zancada durante la carrera de resistencia en tapiz rodante y al aire libre
    (Federación Española de Asociaciones de Docentes de Educación Física (FEADEF), 2024-08-03) Miqueleiz Erburu, Unai; Cabello Olmo, Miriam; Aguado Jiménez, Roberto; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
    Los objetivos fueron i) estudiar la concordancia entre un reloj deportivo (Suunto Ambit2) y un sistema fotoeléctrico (Optogait) como instrumento referencia para medir la frecuencia de zancada (FZ) y la longitud de zancada (LZ); ii) observar las FZ y LZ durante la carrera al aire libre; y iii) analizar el efecto de la manipulación de la FZ en la economía de carrera monitorizada por un analizador de gases en función de las FZ encontradas en el análisis observacional. Ciento-sesenta corredores fueron analizados entre 8-14 km·h-1. El dispositivo Suunto Ambit2 concordó con el sistema de referencia en la medición de la FZ y la LZ [r=0.99 (0.99-1.00); Error Típico de la Estimación=0.58 zancadas∙min-1 y 0.02m]. Los corredores mantuvieron una FZ constante [Coeficiente de Variación (CV)=2.4%] aun cuando hubo variaciones en la velocidad (CV=6.8%), y dependieron de la LZ (CV=6.5%) durante las carreras al aire libre. Por último, los corredores mantuvieron un bajo coste de carrera con su FZ autoseleccionada (media=81.3 zancadas∙min-1), aunque un incremento hasta el 12% podría ser beneficioso cuando la velocidad varía sin detrimento en el coste de carrera.

    Reliability of Xsens inertial measurement unit in measuring trunk accelerations: a sex-based differences study during incremental treadmill running
    (Frontiers Media, 2024) Miqueleiz Erburu, Unai; Aguado Jiménez, Roberto; Lecumberri Villamediana, Pablo; García-Tabar, Ibai; Gorostiaga Ayestarán, Esteban; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
    Introduction: Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are utilized to measure trunk acceleration variables related to both running performances and rehabilitation purposes. This study examined both the reliability and sex-based differences of these variables during an incremental treadmill running test. Methods: Eighteen endurance runners performed a test–retest on different days, and 30 runners (15 females) were recruited to analyze sex-based differences. Mediolateral (ML) and vertical (VT) trunk displacement and root mean square (RMS) accelerations were analyzed at 9, 15, and 21 km·h−1. Results: No significant differences were found between test-retests [effect size (ES)<0.50)]. Higher intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were found in the trunk displacement (0.85-0.96) compared to the RMS-based variables (0.71–0.94). Male runners showed greater VT displacement (ES = 0.90–1.0), while female runners displayed greater ML displacement, RMS ML and anteroposterior (AP), and resultant euclidean scalar (RES) (ES = 0.83–1.9). Discussion: The IMU was found reliable for the analysis of the studied trunk acceleration-based variables. This is the first study that reports different results concerning acceleration (RMS) and trunk displacement variables for a same axis in the analysis of sex-based differences.
