The assessment of physical activity plays a major role in different research areas. In the field of sports, athletes need to be monitored for performance issues or for injury prevention. In the medical field, elderly people or patients need to be monitored to provide physicians with information about the individual quality of life and the health status. The current trend is to apply data mining techniques based on small and light-weight sensors, e.g. accelerometer and gyroscope.
