Abstract Summary
In order to analyse the severity of sports impacts, time-frequency analysis of tibial acceleration can be performed with wavelet transform. However, a prerequisite to conduct such analysis is the selection of the mother wavelet. This study compared a set of 65 different wavelets on 2,240 tibial accelerations recorded at different speeds and fatigue states with two different pairs of shoes. The ‘Mexican Hat’ was selected as the best mother wavelet for this kind of analysis.
