An information processing apparatus including an acquisition section that acquires an operation model indicating an operation pattern related to a target object, a calculation section that calculates an overall operation including an identified partial operation of operations of the target object, with reference to the operation model acquired by the acquisition section, and an output control section that outputs information indicating the overall operation of the target object that has been calculated by the calculation section.

A versatile physical therapy system for aiding in pelvic alignment, shoulder support and isometric exercise features a support body, comprising: a support body face, a support body back, a support body front, a support body back, a support body left side, and a support body right side, a left notch, and a right notch. The support body front may feature a first hook and loop component; and the support body back may feature a second hook and loop component. The system may feature a support strap having means to secure the support strap to the support body when in place on a user. The support strap holds the support body in place when the user compresses the support body and permits the user to engage in outward isometric exercise while holding the support body in place.

A golf backswing training device comprising a body. The body is formed having a unitary construction formed in a hollow oblate (flattened) hemispheroid shape, including a golf backswing training device body front panel, a golf backswing training device body rear panel and an arched segment extending therebetween. The golf backswing training device body front panel and rear panel are designed having like half elliptical shapes. The body is fabricated of a flexible, rigid material having a modulus of elasticity enabling the body to be compressed when a force is applied and returning to the original shape when the force is removed. The golf backswing training device is placed proximate a golfer's arm pit for use. The golfer would retain the body in position during a swing. This positions an arm of the golfer in a proper position during a backswing, thus creating proper muscle memory, thus improving the golfer's game.

An athlete training device has one end adapted to be in contact with the athlete's body. The other end of the device is adapted to be secured to an athletic device, such as a ball or a golf club head. The level of difficulty readily may be adjusted from a relatively easy configuration to progressively more difficult configurations.

A shoulder motion exercise device, kit, and method of use having a retainer, a plurality of connectors, an extender, and a slider. The device aids in the stretching and exercise of at least a shoulder and a portion of the torso.

A system and method for analyzing and improving the performance of a body motion of an animal or human subject requires instrumenting a subject with inertial sensors, monitoring a body motion of interest, converting sensor data into motion data and animation, comparing the motion data with existing data for motion related performance parameters, providing a real-time, information rich, animation and data display of the results in color coded displays; and based on the results prescribing a training regime with exercises selected from a library of standardized exercises using standardized tools and training aids.

A golf training aid 100 has a sensor mat 105 placed under a golf mat 200. The sensor mat 105 has pressure-sensitive impact sensors 210 disposed in first, second and third regions. It includes an electronic circuit which activates a first indicator green upon an ideal impact detected by impact of a golf club head on pressure-sensitive impact sensors 210 in the first region, a second indicator yellow upon a thin impact, or the third indicator red upon a fat shot impact detected by the impact sensors 210. The golf training aid 100 also includes a wearable module 700 attached to the golfer's waist. It includes an accelerometer which measures rotational motion of the wearable device 700 and wirelessly transmits a signal to a base module 600 which activates an indicator to show under-rotation, proper rotation and over-rotation of the golfer's hips at impact of the golf ball 305.

A golf training device may aid both left and right-handed golfers to ensure proper stance width using a numbering system based on shoulder width. The training device may ensure proper ball placement off the golfer's front heel to ensure consistent ball striking location in swing. The training device may further ensure proper front foot angle along a swing path for full, pitching, and/or chipping swings and proper rear foot offset from the target line and stance width to ensure consistent swing arch based on the selected club. The training device may be flipped over depending on which hand the golfer uses, and it may be separated or collapsed to be placed in the golfer's bag for storage and/or transport.

An exercise apparatus for strengthening the hips that includes a belt adapted for being tightly secured around the hip area of a user and a resistance band attached to the belt at a position wherein the resistance band resides proximate the hips. An anchor is provided for attaching a distal end of the resistance band to a support generally at a level with the hips whereby rotating the hips applies resistance to the hips providing strengthening resistance to the hips. A method of using the apparatus is disclosed.

Electronic tracking systems are disclosed for assisting users with locating objects in a sporting environment. One such system includes a ball tracking component that tracks a game ball while moving in the sporting environment, and a heads up display that is worn by the user. This heads up display has an electronic display screen with a transparent display area that dynamically displays images within the user's field of view. A processor, which communicates with the ball tracking component and heads up display, is programmed to detect movement of the game ball, and responsively determine launch characteristics and/or flight characteristics of the moving game ball. The heads up display displays the launch/flight characteristics contemporaneous with an object indication adjacent to or superimposed over the moving game ball as the game ball is visible through the transparent display area of the display screen within the user's field of view.
