A sensor unit includes a sensor section that is attached to a golf club and detects a swing motion of the golf club, and an imaging portion that captures an image of a part of interest corresponding to the golf club.

A resistance device for exercise bike and bike trainer wherein the resistance is generated and adjusted by the rotation of a conductor and movement of one or a group of permanent magnets proximate to the conductor. The resistance training apparatus of the present disclosure can include a housing, a controller that connects to a computer, one or more sensors, a conductor/brake disk configured to rotate around a first axis, a magnet holding assembly for holding one or more magnets, a drive motor that is controlled by the electronic board to precisely move the magnet holding assembly form a first position to a second position along a second axis, wherein resistance is generated and adjusted by the rotation of conductor/brake disk and the position of the one or more magnets relative to the conductor as the magnetic holding assembly moves along the second axis.

An information processing device includes: a displacement information acquisition unit that acquires displacement information corresponding to 3-dimensional displacement of a predetermined portion of an object that a user mounts in accordance with a body motion on the basis of positional information of the predetermined portion and an output control unit that performs control such that an output unit performs a predetermined output on the basis of the acquired displacement information. The object has, for example, a seatback on which a user can sit. The displacement information acquisition unit acquires a change in a position in at least one of front and rear directions, right and left directions, or upward and downward directions of a seatback.

This disclosure relates to systems, media, and methods for quantifying and monitoring exercise parameters and/or motion parameters, including performing data acquisition, analysis, and providing scientifically valid, clinically relevant, and/or actionable diagnostic feedback. Embodiments may be related to systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for providing baseline-adjusted real-time feedback to a user. Embodiments may include determining a type of activity for the user. Embodiment may include receiving data from the one or more motion sensors indicating a time-dependent series of three axis acceleration data and three-axis orientation data. Embodiments additionally may include providing a graphical user interface with a real-time representation of the received data. The real-time representation may include a scaled representation of at least one dimension of the time-dependent series of three axis acceleration data and three-axis orientation data for at least one of the one or more motion sensors based on the updated baseline adjustment.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for elastic delivery, processing, and storage for wearable devices based on system resources. For example, a wearable apparatus may have at least one battery; at least one sensor configured to measure at least one property associated with a user of the wearable apparatus; at least one memory storing measurements from the at least one sensor and instructions; at least one transmitter configured to send data to a device remote from the wearable apparatus; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive, from the at least one battery, an indicator of a charge; and based on the received indicator, sending a command to the at least one sensor to operate in a low-power mode or a high-power mode, the low-power mode having. a lower sampling rate than the high-power mode.

A modular resistance force system includes an axle configured to be rotatable around a rotational axis and one or more resistance mechanisms. Each of the one or more resistance mechanisms includes a resistance element disposed about a portion of the axle, a resistance element housing configured to house the resistance element and a resistance substance disposed between the resistance element and the resistance element housing. Either the resistance element or the resistance element housing is selectively engaged to rotate with the axle. A resistance between the resistance element and the resistance substance causes a force to be applied to the axle when the resistance element and the resistance element housing move relative to each other.

A training apparatus includes a fixed frame, a training rod, a motor, rotation information detection sensor, tilt angle and position difference calculation units, determination, motor drive and position difference eliminating units. The training rod is supported by the fixed frame in a manner capable of being tilted by a motor about at least an X-axis or a Y-axis so as to hold the limb. The tilt angle calculation unit calculates a tilt angle of the training rod. The position difference calculation unit calculates a position difference. The determination unit obtains the position difference every time when a second time period elapses. If the position difference generated in the second time period is a first threshold or lower, the motor drive unit drives the motor so that the position difference is accumulated and maintained. The position difference eliminating unit resets the position difference at a predetermined timing.

Provided is an impact point estimation apparatus that is capable of estimating, easily and with high accuracy, an impact point on a face surface of a golf club head at the time of a golf swing. The impact point estimation apparatus includes an acquisition part configured to acquire time-series sensor data that is output from at least one of an angular velocity sensor and an acceleration sensor attached to at least one of a grip and a shaft of a golf club and an estimation part configured to estimate the impact point, according to a shaft characteristic which is a characteristic of the shaft, based on the sensor data.
