RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 From big data mining to technical sport reports: the case of inertial measurement units JF BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine JO BMJ OPEN SP EX MED FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e000565 DO 10.1136/bmjsem-2019-000565 VO 5 IS 1 A1 Daniel Rojas-Valverde A1 Carlos D Gómez-Carmona A1 Randall Gutiérrez-Vargas A1 Jose Pino-Ortega YR 2019 UL http://bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/5/1/e000565.abstract AB The inertial measurement units (IMU) are instruments used to quantify the external load of athletes; they are increasingly common in assessing team and individual sports. This type of instruments has several sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers; this allows access to a large amount of information and analysis possibilities. Due to the complexity of synthesising this data, it is necessary to create a flow for collecting, analysing and presenting the collected data in a simple way and present it as quickly as possible to the technical staff. This report aims to present new methods of reduction of the data and propose a new approach method for the analysis of the IMU’s outcomes.
