| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I published two papers related to this study, one at the Journal of Biomechanics (IF=2.75) and one at Journal of Statistical Software (IF=3.80). I also gave two oral presentations related to this work at conferences, one domestic and one international. I was invited to give a talk at the Royal Society of New Zealand in April 2016 related to my work on this project. I also presented results from this study at the International Society of Biomechanics in 2015.
With overseas research collaborators I co-organized and conducted two international workshops related to the software being developed in this project, one at the University of Liverpool (UK) and one RSScan International (Belgium). Attendees included Ph.D. students, postdocs and sportswear company employees.
On July 1, 2015 I released a major new version of my software (spm1d.org) which incorporates developments made during this study.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Part of the research is progressing slower than expected and part of it is progressing faster than planned. Experimental work involving kinematics progressed somewhat slow due to delays in motion capture equipment acquisition. In particular, while I had hoped to purchase a Japanese-manufactured system, the software offered by Japanese companies had insufficient functionality relative to overseas competitors, so I was forced to contact vendors of overseas products.
Despite equipment acquisition delays, or perhaps because of equipment acquisition delays, I was able to make better-than-expected progress on theory and software developments, and those developments resulted in two peer-reviewed publications. The motion capture system I acquired is now working stably so I anticipate no further delays in kinematics experiments.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the second and final fiscal year of this project I will, as planned, begin to apply the proposed “Random Body” methodology to dynamic situations. I will also attempt to get caught-up on experimental examinations of kinematic variability, and if time permits I will also begin experimental examinations of dynamic variability.
If there is insufficient time to conduct dynamics experiments, I will instead use kinematics/dynamics databases of my domestic and overseas research collaborators in attempts to re-accelerate the originally-proposed research plan.
Regardless of the experimental data, I will be able to continue developing the proposed Random Body theory and software. I plan to submit two-to-three more papers to peer-reviewed journals, and for one of those I will target a high-impact journal such as Nature or Nature Scientific Reports.
