A Multi-Modal Dataset for Ground Reaction Force Estimation Using Consumer Wearable Sensors

ArXi:2603.28784v1 Announce Type: cross This Data Descriptor presents a fully open, multi-modal dataset for estimating vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) from consumer-grade Apple Watch sensors with laboratory force plate ground truth. Ten healthy adults aged 26--41 years performed five activities: walking, jogging, running, heel drops, and step drops, while wearing two Apple Watches positioned at the left wrist and waist. The dataset contains 492 validated trials with time-aligned inertial measurement unit (IMU) recordings (approximately 100 Hz) and force plate vGRF (Force\_Z, 1000 Hz.
