Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: KR is scientific consultant for Adidas and is owner of a software company (ergonizer.com) for performance diagnostics. HM and MR receive research grants of Adidas. CH is an employee of Adidas. AG is scientific consultant for Adidas. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. The commercial affiliation of author KR to ergonizer.com did not play a role in the study.
