Abstract Data mining, statistics, and data analysis are popular techniques to study datasets and extract knowledge from them. In this article, principal component analysis and factor analysis were applied to cluster thirteen different given arrangements about the Suras of the Holy Quran. The results showed that these thirteen arrangements can be categorized in two parts such that the first part includes Blachère, Davood, Grimm, Nöldeke, Bazargan, E’temad-al-Saltane and Muir, and the second part includes Ebn Nadim, Jaber, Ebn Abbas, Hazrat Ali, Khazan, and Al-Azhar.

(1) Background: Data mining has turned essential when exploring a large amount of information in performance analysis in sports. This study aimed to select the most relevant variables influencing the external and internal load in top-elite 5-a-side soccer (Sa5) using a data mining model considering some contextual indicators as match result, body mass index (BMI), scoring rate and age. (2) Methods: A total of 50 top-elite visually impaired soccer players (age 30.86 ± 11.2 years, weight 77.64 ± 9.78 kg, height 178.48 ± 7.9 cm) were monitored using magnetic, angular and rate gyroscope (MARG) sensors during an international Sa5 congested fixture tournament.; (3) Results: Fifteen external and internal load variables were extracted from a total of 49 time-related and peak variables derived from the MARG sensors using a principal component analysis as the most used data mining technique. The principal component analysis (PCA) model explained 80% of total variance using seven principal components. In contrast, the first principal component of the match was defined by jumps, take off by 24.8% of the total variance. Blind players usually performed a higher number of accelerations per min when losing a match. Scoring players execute higher DistanceExplosive and Distance21–24 km/h. And the younger players presented higher HRAVG and AccMax. (4) Conclusions: The influence of some contextual variables on external and internal load during top elite Sa5 official matches should be addressed by coaches, athletes, and medical staff. The PCA seems to be a useful statistical technique to select those relevant variables representing the team’s external and internal load. Besides, as a data reduction method, PCA allows administrating individualized training loads considering those relevant variables defining team load behavior.

In the paper the procedure of processing biomechanical data has been proposed. It consists of selecting proper noiseless data, preprocessing data by means of model’s identification and Kernel Principal Component Analysis and next classification using decision tree. The obtained results of classification into groups (normal and two selected pathology of gait: Spina Bifida and Cerebral Palsy) were very good.
