Abstract
The current document answers the comment addressed by Schmidt, M [...].
Highlights
The current document answers the comment addressed by Schmidt, M., Nolte, K., Alt, T., and Jaitner, T. regarding our recent paper “Hurdle Clearance Detection and Spatiotemporal Analysis in 400 Meters Hurdles Races Using Shoe-Mounted Magnetic and Inertial Sensor” (Sensors 2020, 20, 354) [1].First, the authors want to thank the aforementioned researchers for their comments and constructive feedback
Our primary aim was to detect hurdle crossing events, identify the leading leg, and estimate the average speed between the hurdles, which was accomplished with high accuracy
We have divided our answer into three parts: (1) underestimation of contact time (CT), (2) adaptations applied to the algorithms presented in [2], and (3) the need for in-field validation
Summary
The current document answers the comment addressed by Schmidt, M., Nolte, K., Alt, T., and Jaitner, T. regarding our recent paper “Hurdle Clearance Detection and Spatiotemporal Analysis in 400 Meters Hurdles Races Using Shoe-Mounted Magnetic and Inertial Sensor” (Sensors 2020, 20, 354) [1].First, the authors want to thank the aforementioned researchers for their comments and constructive feedback. We acknowledge the importance of ecological validity and appreciate any response aiming to improve the proposed system. We emphasize that the comments are concerned with our secondary study aim, i.e., monitoring contact time (CT) and flight time (FLY) throughout the race. Our primary aim was to detect hurdle crossing events, identify the leading leg, and estimate the average speed between the hurdles, which was accomplished with high accuracy.
