We aimed to estimate the accuracy of IMUs for use in phase identification of long-track speed skating. Twelve healthy competitive athletes on a university long-track speed skating team participated in this study. Foot pressure, acceleration and knee joint angle were recorded during a 1000-m speed skating trial using the foot pressure system and IMUs. The foot contact and foot-off timing were identified using three methods (kinetic, acceleration and integrated detection) and the stance time was also calculated. Kinetic detection was used as the gold standard measure. Repeated analysis of variance, intra-class coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots were used to estimate the extent of agreement between the detection methods. The stance time computed using the acceleration and integrated detection methods did not differ by more than 3.6% from the gold standard measure. The ICCs ranged between 0.657 and 0.927 for the acceleration detection method and 0.700 and 0.948 for the integrated detection method. The limits of agreement were between 90.1% and 96.1% for the average stance time. Phase identification using acceleration and integrated detection methods is valid for evaluating the kinematic characteristics during long-track speed skating.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21113649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,24]],"date-time":"2021-05-24T23:35:05Z","timestamp":1621899305000},"page":"3649","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Detection of Movement Events of Long-Track Speed Skating Using Wearable Inertial Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1205-165X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yosuke","family":"Tomita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Graduate School of Health Care, Takasaki University of Health and Welfare, Takasaki 370-0033, Gunma, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomoki","family":"Iizuka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Graduate School of Health Care, Takasaki University of Health and Welfare, Takasaki 370-0033, Gunma, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Kurosawa Hospital, Takasaki 370-1203, Gunma, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koichi","family":"Irisawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Graduate School of Health Care, Takasaki University of Health and Welfare, Takasaki 370-0033, Gunma, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shigeyuki","family":"Imura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Graduate School of Health Care, Takasaki University of Health and Welfare, Takasaki 370-0033, Gunma, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"188","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.8.2.188","article-title":"Changes in speed skating velocity in relation to push-off effectiveness","volume":"8","author":"Noordhof","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int.
