摘要:
The present Invention provides a surfing device comprising at least one energy projecting means and at least one energy projecting structure for supporting and positioning the energy projecting means. The energy projecting structure positions the energy projecting means at one or more energy projecting positions. Energy is projected from the energy projecting means from positions to enable a person to surf at least partially solely via the projected energy. The present invention also provides a surface for a surfing device, either the device of the present Invention or another surfing device. The surface, is designed for a person to surf on either via the projected energy of the surfing device of the present Invention or by at least partially direct contact with the surface via fluid projected out of, over or upon it. The surface has an Impact absorption material. The material Is at (east partially porous and at least partially deformable and also designed to at least partially deform upon impact to at least partially absorb or diffuse the impact.

Systems, devices, and methods for gathering data from a horse and rider and providing training to the rider are provided. In one aspect, for example, a method of training an equestrian rider can include performing a ride by an equestrian rider on a horse, and obtaining ride data from the ride, the ride data including video, inertial measurements, rider joint, head, torso, and/or limb information, horse joint, head, torso, and/or limb information, and at least one force measurement between the horse and the rider during the rider. The ride data can then be analyzed and at least one riding improvement to be made by the rider can be identified, and the at least one riding improvement to be made to the rider can be relayed to the rider to provide training for a subsequent ride.

An assembly for modifying/adapting a practice goal to serve as a sporting game practice aid. The assembly suitably includes a target and/or plurality of target pockets that can be removably coupled to the practice goal. This provides a physical target towards which to aim a sporting object (including a puck, ball, and/or the like), and thereby a means of evaluating one's progress towards mastery of the task at hand.

Methods and apparatus relating to predicting outcome in a sporting environment are described. The methods and apparatus are used to relate trajectory performance of an object to body motions and body orientation associated with a generating the trajectory of the object. When equipment is utilized to generate the trajectory of an object, than the effects of equipment motions and equipment orientation can be also related to trajectory performance. The method and apparatus can be used to predict body motions and body orientations that increase the likelihood of achieving a desired outcome including specifying optimum motions and orientations for a particular individual. The method and apparatus may be used in training, coaching and broadcasting environments.
摘要:
Contact-indicating devices including an elongate contacting member, and a housing configured to enclose a portion of the contacting member, the housing further enclosing a translation sensor configured to detect an inward longitudinal translation of the contacting member, and a rotation sensor configured to detect a pivoting of the contacting member in a first direction. The disclosed devices further include at least one indicating element, where the indicating element is configured to differentiate between the detected longitudinal translation of the contacting member and the detected pivoting of the contacting member in the first direction.

According to one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a lacrosse training aid comprising at least one glove configured to be placed on the hand of a lacrosse player, the at least one glove comprising an integrated strap mechanism configured to couple the at least one glove to a lacrosse stick in a non-dominant configuration.
摘要:
A baseball training apparatus occludes peripheral vision of each eye across the nose region of a baseball player by creating a visual divide that extends from and immediately adjacent to the nose along the central sagittal plane. In various embodiments, the visual divide is extendible, removable and replaceable, pivotal, and may incorporate scribes to vary shape or geometry. The visual divide may further be mounted from a pair of glasses without lenses, though other embodiments with and without lenses are contemplated. The eye divider is used to align or confirm alignment of a baseball player properly with the pitcher, to ensure that the batter has both eyes facing the pitcher.
摘要:
A device is provided. The device has an arcuate guide disposed about a shoe. The guide has a start point on an inner side of the shoe, an intermediate point on a heel side of the shoe, and an end point on an outer side of the shoe. The guide is angled upward across the heel side from the inner side to the outer side with the angle in a range between about 30 degrees to about 60 degrees. The start point and end point are positioned on the shoe at a point lower than the intermediate point. The device also has an indicator moveable along the guide. The indicator is an alert to the user of the device that the user has executed proper body motions during a swing or throw, when the indicator traverses from the start point through the intermediate point to the end point. Also provided is a system and method.

A bat swing training device for enabling the diagnosis and correction of an individual batter's swing. The training device includes a conventional bat modified to receive a training aid at its distal. The training aid provides a snapping sound if an individual swings the bat at greater than a predetermined speed such that inertial forces overcome magnetic forces acting on a paramagnetic slider and the slider accelerates from a first stop to a second stop producing a snap. The position of the batter's hands at the time of the snap indicates whether the batter's swing is correct.
