Using a landscape raster-based model for optimal route navigation in orienteering sports, velocity related attributes are mapped onto single squares. Both, accelerators and dampeners as well as barriers are taken into consideration. The optimization calculation between points is based on A* while the entire route is calculated by asymmetric traveller salesman problem solutions.

Orienteering is an enjoyable sporting activity, which believed to contribute its participants’ problem-solving skills. People who are engaged in orienteering expected hold a map correctly, find their exact place on the map, read make plan and carry it out reach checkpoint, as well checking accuracy of destination. Such steps be followed during resemble those Polya’s method education. From this ...

Findings about the relation between musculoskeletal injuries and training patterns in orienteering athletes are sparse. Therefore, the musculoskeletal injuries and training patterns of 31 Swiss elite orienteering athletes aged 18-19 years were analyzed in a retrospective study. Individual training diaries and medical records were used to assess training data and injury history, respectively. Gr...

This paper presents a genetic algorithm to solve the orienteering problem, which is concerned with finding a path between a given set of control points, among which a start and an end point are specified, so as to maximize the total score collected subject to a prescribed distance constraint. Employing several sets of test problems from the literature, the performance of the genetic algorithm i...
