Dataset summary The ShimFall&ADL dataset contains recordings from 35 individuals, acquired using a chest-strapped Shimmer v2 tri-axial accelerometer, recording at a 50Hz sampling rate. Experiments were conducted in a controlled environment at a research lab in the University of the West of Scotland. Thirty five (35) healthy individuals were recruited among young or mid-aged volunteers, aged between 19 and 34 years old, having a body weight between 52 and 113 kg, and a body height between 1.45 and 1.82 m. Participants performed the following activities of daily living (ADL): Jumping Lying down Bending/picking up Sitting to a chair Standing up from a chair Walking Participants performed the following falls: Steep (hard) Front (soft) Front (hard) Left (soft) Left (hard) Right (soft) Right (hard) Back (soft) Back (hard) Data Each ".dat" file in the dataset corresponds to one event for one individual and contains 101 accelerometer samples corresponding to the event. Each row of the file corresponds to one 3-channel sample, dividing the x, y, z axes values using the "\t" character, as follows: Row 1: x1\ty1\tz1 Row 2: x2\ty2\tz2 ... Row N: xN\tyN\tzN The files within the dataset are named as follows: adl__.dat fall__.dat For
