A punching ball is spherical and specifically designed for striking against a wall for power and precision training. The punching ball can have varied weight, size, rebound characteristics and density parameters while maintaining a multilayer configuration in which there are two layers of foam around a dense core. The outer-most foam layer is covered by an outer shell material. By using different densities in the foam layers and for the core, the punching ball can deform around the fist of a person punching the punching ball. As such, the punching ball can be directed to a desired location during a punch. This provides a method of training in power and precision, as the punching ball can be repeatably punched towards a wall, the person training having to follow-through on every rebound.

The invention relates to a system for collecting and processing data associated with players playing a ball game, where the ball comprises at least one RFID transmitter in the form of a passive RFID tag. For every player, an active RFID radio frequency sensor is worn on every limb authorized to come into contact with the ball, said RFID sensor being able to measure the instantaneous distance between the RFID sensor and the RFID transmitter from the strength of the radio frequency signal received from the RFID transmitter. An accelerometer measures the instantaneous acceleration of said limb. A microprocessor and a memory are used for time-stamping and storing the measurements output by the RFID sensor and the accelerometer for the purpose of post-processing. A central processing unit runs a program configured to read and process the data recorded in the memory units worn by the players and to deduce therefrom data representative of certain physical or technical information related to the play of the players.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a particle foam part, in particular a cushioning element for sportswear, such as a shoe sole, or a cushioning element, which has been produced by such a method, in particular a shoe sole. The method for manufacturing a cushioning element for sportswear such as a shoe sole, may comprise the steps of feeding foam particles into a mold cavity of a mold tool, and welding of the foam particles in the mold cavity while applying a predetermined pressure, wherein the foam particles comprise a fraction of at least 10% by weight of recycled, shredded foam particles (regenerated material) and the welding of the foam particles is effected by means of electromagnetic waves.
