Measurement of stride parameters using a wearable GPS and inertial measurement unit
Journal Article
Tan, H. L., Wilson, A. M., & Lowe, J. C. Measurement of stride parameters using a wearable GPS and inertial measurement unit. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(7), 1398-1406. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.02.021

Both GPS and inertial measurement units (IMUs) have been extensively used in biomechanical studies. Expensive high accuracy GPS units can provide information about intrastride speed and position, but their application is limited by their size and cos...

Accuracy of the TurfTrax Racing Data System for determination of equine speed and position
Journal Article
Spence, A. J., Tan, H., & Wilson, A. M. Accuracy of the TurfTrax Racing Data System for determination of equine speed and position. Equine Veterinary Journal, 40(7), 680-683. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516408X330338

Reasons for performing study: The speed and position data collected by TurfTrax Racing Data Limited during UK Thoroughbred racing have potential to benefit equine science and welfare. The size (the 2006 data set alone consists of 30,932 individual ho... Read More about Accuracy of the TurfTrax Racing Data System for determination of equine speed and position.

Possible causes of divergent population trends in sympatric African herbivores
Journal Article
Bennitt, E., Hubel, T. Y., Bartlam-Brooks, H. L. A., & Wilson, A. M. (in press). Possible causes of divergent population trends in sympatric African herbivores. PLoS ONE, 14(3), e0213720. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0213720

Sympatric herbivores experience similar environmental conditions but can vary in their population trends. Identifying factors causing these differences could assist conservation efforts aimed at maintaining fully functional ecosystems. From 1996–2013...

External mechanical work in the galloping racehorse
Journal Article
Self Davies, Z. T., Spence, A. J., & Wilson, A. M. (in press). External mechanical work in the galloping racehorse. Biology Letters, 1, https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2018.0709

Horse locomotion is remarkably economical. Here, we measure external mechanical work of the galloping horse and relate it to published measurements of metabolic cost. Seven Thoroughbred horses were galloped (ridden) over force plates, under a racing... Read More about External mechanical work in the galloping racehorse.
