A sporting apparatus includes a monitoring device. The monitoring device may add no weight to the sporting apparatus relative to a comparable sporting apparatus without the monitoring device. The monitoring device may have a center of gravity substantially aligning with the center of gravity of the sporting apparatus, resulting in a sporting apparatus with a monitor having substantially the same center of gravity as a comparable sporting apparatus without a monitor. The sporting apparatus monitor may be configured to trim unreliable post impact swing data and replace it with extrapolated pre-impact swing data and/or more reliable post impact swing data.

A sensor device for exercise data tracking includes a mounting clip that can be coupled to an exercise apparatus. A housing with one or more sensor can be selectably coupled to the mounting clip. During use of the exercise apparatus, the sensor device can track exercise data and wirelessly provide the data to a receiver.

An interactive electronic trampoline assembly is made up of a frame, legs, a trampoline mat, a plurality of bias members to secure the trampoline mat to the frame, and a sensor to sense movement of the trampoline mat. A handlebar may also be connected to the frame. A control module may be removably secured to the assembly adjacent the frame. The control module may have a speaker, a power source, a controller, lights and control buttons. The sensor may also be housed in the control module. Different lights and sounds are output based on an input to the controller, the game being played and input received by the sensor.

An embodiment of the present disclosure of a rucking system that includes a stackable plate assembly having a first plate and a second plate.

A basketball training apparatus includes a shot completion sensor, a condition sensor, and a computer. The shot completion sensor determines whether a shot goes through a basketball hoop. The condition sensor senses a physical condition of a basketball shooter. The computer is in communication with the shot completion sensor and the condition sensor, and has a processor for calculating shot completion percentage as a function of the physical condition.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for using mobile sporting goods. In one aspect, the system permits a sporting enthusiast to track the location of a mobile sporting good, such as a golf ball, relative to a target, such as a target on a driving range, and correlate that location to a simulated location on a simulated golf hole.

A cardiovascular exercise device is provided. The cardiovascular exercise device is for use to administer an exercise program including shuttle runs. The cardiovascular exercise device includes: a tower placeable at a first location; a user input associated with the tower; a pacing bar arranged to display a target pace of a user for a shuttle run of a track distance from the first location; and a processor configured to operate an exercise program. The administration of the exercise program includes the steps of: receiving a signal from the user input; defining a repetition as the time between subsequent signals from the user input; and indicating pacing information to the user based upon this signal.

A system for measuring weight-lifting performance is described. The system comprises a collar that may be attached to a weight bar, wherein the collar comprises at least one motion sensor, at least one touch sensor, and a signal processor. The motion sensors comprise a barometric altimeter, a gyroscope, and/or an accelerometer that measure the motion of the weight bar during a lifting activity. Signals from the motion sensors are interpreted by the signal processor as physical activity data, which are then wirelessly transmitted to a multimedia device having a data processor. The data processor is configured to calculate performance metrics from the physical activity data and to display them to a user via a display on the multimedia device. Athletes may use the performance metric outputs from the data processor to monitor the form of their lifting exercises for training purposes, safety considerations, and self-improvement.

There is provided a health promotion system using a wireless and ropeless jump rope. When a plurality of users use a plurality of wireless and ropeless jump rope apparatuses, each wireless and ropeless jump rope apparatus transmits each user's weight, the number of jumps made by the user and the time of using the wireless and ropeless jump rope to an external health promotion server. The health promotion server analyzes the user's weight, the number of jumps made by the user and the time of using the wireless and ropeless jump rope as transmitted and provides an instructor with the information of the number of jumps made by the user and the analyzed health-relevant data. The instructor who receives the information of the number of jumps made by the user and the analyzed health-relevant data is able to improve the health of the user.

In various implementations, an adjustable dumbbell system may include a handle assembly, two or more weight plates, and a base. The weight plates and the handle assembly may be configured such that each weight plate can be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the handle assembly. The base may be configured to support each of the weight plates. The base may include a sensing mechanism that senses a characteristic of the weight plates where the characteristic depends upon which of the weight plates are supported by the base.
