An apparatus, method, and a non-transitory programmed medium provide a structure to move a heavy bag to simulate sparring along with a method and programmed media to provide selective training experiences. Drive motors in a Cartesian gantry provide multi-axis lateral motion in a horizontal plane. The heavy bag is instrumented to generate information indicative of performance of the user. Also, the heavy bag receives information to prompt a user with indicators such as LEDs. A moving target simulates a boxing match. A user responds to motions of a heavy bag in an X-Y plane whether toward or away from the user. It may be used as a sparring partner. Electronic controls provide a pre-selected pattern of movement. Training programs include sequences designed by professional boxers and trainers. Controls may be adaptive to vary responses of the apparatus in response to user performance.

A system for analysis of user gait and foot disorder intended to minimize risks ulceration and limb amputation associated with the uncontrolled increase of the foot temperature in persons with diabetes. This system comprises a motion, force and temperature sensors and a processing element configured to process motion algorithms, measure ground reaction force (GRF) and changes in foot temperature embedded in the footwear insoles in communication with a smartphone based analysis application using wireless radio interface. The analysis application processes data received from the footwear sensors, compares the results with set of criteria and rules, and if any of the predefined criteria is exceeded, provides alerts to the user and the remote medical supervisor. Additionally, the insoles may be equipped with a haptic actuators configured to determine the level of the user neuropathy by measuring vibration perception threshold (VPT) level.

In one example, a muscle exercise device includes a first arm and a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, and the second arm and the first arm are configured to cooperatively define a recess having a shape that changes as one of the first arm and the second arm moves toward, or away from, the other of the first arm and the second arm. The muscle exercise device further includes a resistance element configured to reside in the recess and be compressed between the first arm and the second arm so as to assume a configuration similar to the shape of the recess. Finally, a wireless transmitter chip is disposed in either the first arm or the second arm, and the wireless transmitter chip is responsive to communications from an app residing on a user device.

To provide an opportunity to receive advice on equipment that is beneficial for users to improve their skill. A motion analysis system includes a movement sensor device for detecting a state of a racket, a user terminal for presenting to a user an analysis result of a movement of the racket analyzed based on detection information detected by the movement sensor device, and an adviser terminal for presenting to an adviser an advice request transmitted from the user terminal along with the analysis result and receiving input of advice information created by the adviser and corresponding to the advice request. The advice information includes recommendation information related to equipment recommended to the user.

A stabilizing ability, so-called stability, according to a change in body motion of a wearer is to be appropriately evaluated to achieve effective training, coaching, and fitting of athletic equipment.

Provided are a plurality of body motion sensors 40 that is attached to a wearer 1 or an arbitrary part of a barbell 1a to be used by the wearer 1 and is capable of detecting three-dimensional displacement or rotation of each part, a memory that records a detection result by the plurality of body motion sensors 40 as body motion data and stores index data holding a correlation between an amount of deviation from a stable reference value for evaluating reproducibility of body motion and an index for evaluating a stabilizing ability, an index calculation unit 117g that refers to the index data based on a reference value or a threshold acquired from the recorded body motion data and calculates the index for evaluating the stabilizing ability, and an output device that displays or outputs the index calculated by the index calculation unit 117g.

A support part of a swimming start block. The front support part (18) is provided for a starting block (1) of a swimming race, which includes at least one base (9) to be fixed around a swimming pool, and a platform (5) which is mounted or fixed on the base (9). A foot of a swimmer as well as his hands are supported before the start of a race on the front support part. This front support part is arranged to be mounted interchangeably on a front portion of the platform (5) of the starting block (18) and can be an intelligent front support part with motion sensors and light source and race management electronics.

A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

A combat sports scoring system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a striking object performing a striking action, a striking target including a scoring portion which is hit by the striking action, a control part configured to determine a valid hit and calculate a score on the basis of a hit signal output by the striking object and calculate a score, wherein the striking object includes a hit determination device configured to transmit the hit signal including information about the striking action to the control part.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a camera coupled to a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor. Blockchain smart contracts can be used with the device to facilitate secure operation.
