**Data Organization** ------- **Raw Subject Data** * Each participant has a folder containing six .mat files recorded using Matlab Mobile * The first three of these .mat files correspond to the short stair height trials while the last three .mat files correspond to the long stair height trials. * The .mat files are named in the "yyyy-mm-dd_subjectnumber_stairheight_trialnumber.mat" format * Each .mat file contains a matrix named "Acceleration" which is classified in matlab as a timetable. Each of the colums of the matrix is assigned to the following variables: * Timestamps organized in the "dd-mmmm-yyyy hr:min:sec" format * Acceleration in the X direction (in m/s^2) * Acceleration in the Y direction (in m/s^2) * Acceleration in the Z direction (in m/s^2) **Processed and Analyzed Subject Data** * Each participant is assigned a single .mat file containing the following matrices: * ave_force_data: average force (in N) * Column 1: average force during short stair height trials * First three rows: correspond to the three trials * Last row: correspond to the average of the three trials * Column 2: average force during long stair height trials * First three rows: correspond to the three trials * Last row: correspond to the average of the three trials * ave_pwr_data: normalized average power (in W/kg) * Column 1: normalized average power during short stair height trials * First three rows: correspond to the three trials * Last row: correspond to the average of the three trials * Column 2: normalized average power during long stair height trials * First three rows: correspond to the three trials * Last row: correspond to the average of the three trials * ave_vel_data: average velocity (in m/s) * Column 1: average velocity during short stair height trials * First three rows: correspond to the three trials * Last row: correspond to the average of the three trials * Column 2: average velocity during long stair height trials * First three rows: correspond to the three trials * Last row: correspond to the average of the three trials **Processed and Analyzed Group Data** * Data from all participants was then processed, analyzed, and compiled into a single .mat file named "compiled_group_data.mat" * The single .mat file contains the mean and standard deviations of the normal average power, average force, and average velocity across all participants and arranged as follows: * Column 1: mean average velocity * Column 2: standard deviation of average velocity * Column 3: mean average force * Column 4: standard deviation of average force * Column 5: mean normalized average power * Column 6: standard deviation of normalized average power * Row 1: Short stair height - Endurance group * Row 2: Short stair height - Strength group * Row 3: Long stair height - Endurance group * Row 4: Long stair height - Strength group **Figures** * "Average Force Box Plot.tif": box plot of average force of each training group across both stair height conditions * "Average Velocity Box Plot.tif": box plot of average velocity of each training group across both stair height conditions * "Average Power Box Plot.tif": box plot of normalized average power of each training group across both stair height conditions **Data Collection Log** * Participant demographics, mass, and stair heights were manually recorded and compiled into a single .xlsx file named "Data Collection Log.xlsx" * Contents of the .xlsx file is organized as follows: * First sheet: trial logs * First column: Participant number * Second column: Date of collection * Third column: Stair type (short or long) * Fourth column: Height of individual step (in inches) * Fifth column: Number of steps * Sixth column: Vertical displacement (in meters) * Seventh column: Trial number * Second sheet: participant logs * First column: Participant number * Second column: Participant name * Third column: Age * Fourth column: Biological sex * Fifth column: Weight (in lbs) * Sixth column: Weight (in kg) * Seventh column: Average hours of exercise per week * Eighth column: Exercises of choice * Ninth column: Training type (strength or endurance) * Tenth column: notes
