A Hybrid Ultra-Wideband and Inertial Measurement Unit Sensor System Can Accurately Measure the Sprinting Performance in Young Male Soccer Players

Background

This study investigated the concurrent validity and agreement of a hybrid ultra-wideband (UWB) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) wearable sensor system (K-Power) against criterion photocell timing gates during a 30 m sprint test, while secondarily exploring associations between 30 m sprint time (t30) and horizontal force–velocity (F-V) profile parameters in youth soccer players.
