Systems and methods are described for providing coaching, training, or equipment specification information to individual golfers based on data generated during their individual golf swings. Additionally, data hubs are described that provide information and services to individuals based on data collected for a community of multiple golfers. Such community data hub systems and methods may provide one or more of the following: (a) storage of scoring data, swing data, ball flight data, and/or equipment data for multiple golfers; (b) at least some level of individual access to the stored data for the community; and/or (c) electronic interaction between golfers within the community.

A swim lane apparatus having one or more attachment or tethering devices. The one or more attachment or tethering devices are configured to couple or affix to a foundation of the pool. The swim lane apparatus has a first sidewall. The first sidewall is coupled to the one or more attachment or tethering devices. The first sidewall is configured to form a channel and direct a flow of water out of the channel when the flow of water enters the channel.

Golf clubs according to at least some example aspects of this disclosure may include a golf club head and a shaft configured to engage with the golf club head which includes a grip engaged with the shaft. Further, the golf club may include a monitoring device, which includes a sensor and a transmitter. Additionally, the monitoring device may be configured to determine data related to the characteristics of a golf swing. Further, the monitoring device may be configured to transmit the data related to the characteristics of a golf swing to a remote computer.

Provided herein are devices and methods for analysis and/or exercise of a body region of a subject. Such devices may include a guide arm supported by a support frame; a receiving surface supported by the guide arm, the receiving surface for receiving input force from the subject; and a motor assembly in communication with the guide arm, the motor assembly controlling movement of the receiving surface based on received input force. Exercise and/or analysis methods described herein may include steps of instructing the subject to apply an input force to a receiving surface; sensing the applied input force over time; and controlling movement of the receiving surface based on the received input force using a motor assembly, whereby the motor assembly moves the receiving surface in a pre-determined direction, so long as the input force remains within an allowable tolerance, until a pre-set end position is reached.

There is provided an output control device to intuitively assisting a user to acquire more complex techniques, the output control device including: a computation unit configured to calculate a difference between master data and motion data collected by a plurality of sensor units included in a device; and an output control unit configured to control output related to a plurality of output units included in the device, on the basis of the difference. The output control unit causes a target output unit to output a tactile stimulus on the basis of the difference, the target output unit being placed at a position corresponding to the sensor unit that has collected the motion data.

The invention includes a throwing motion training system and device configured to track arm motion and provide predictive ball motion data without the athlete ever having to release the device is provided. The device is configured with a plurality of sensors configured to transmit motion data to data analysis software internal to the device or configured on an external computing system. The data analysis software is configured to prepare and share motion tracking data and predictive ball motion data.

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.

Systems, methods, and computer program products which facilitate the ability of a user to monitor and assess the location of and forces transferred to various joints, muscles, and limbs and their relative positions at each and every moment during normal daily activities, training loads of an exercise, or a competitive or high intensity athletic endeavors, in order to mitigate and reduce the risk of injury as well as to track fitness performance elements are disclosed. In an aspect, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed which utilize at least one sensor in order to capture a user's movement information during various tasks and exercises. This movement information may then be analyzed in order to determine quantifiable values for the user's likelihood of experiencing an injury and/or the user's overall fitness, generally. The systems, methods, and computer program products of the present disclosure may also be used to measure a user's neuromuscular efficiency and help the user make improvements thereto.

A golf swing training device is disclosed that will provide instant feedback on the position of the golfer's clubface at impact. The device consists of a rebounding surface enclosed, and attach to a frame with a safety net, a goal, a golf mat to provide a hitting surface, and a ribbon attached from the bottom of the frame to the golf mat for alignment and shot analysis. The rebounding surface faces opposite the goal such that when a practice golf ball hits it, it will land in the goal if struck properly. Its angle may be adjustable to accommodate different clubs for a proper rebound into the goal. The rebounder surface may be made from a foam material with a fabric covering that when struck, leaves an indention for visual target reference, repels the ball, and indicates ball spin by referencing where the ball landed inside or outside the goal.

Aspects of the present disclosure generally pertain to a piata interaction device, system, and method. Aspects of the present disclosure more specifically are directed toward an electronic device for a piata that includes a housing, a power supply, a speaker, an impact sensor, an user interface, and a controller module configured to store a plurality of piata communications to emit at least one of the plurality of piata communications in response to the piata being hit. The electronic device is removably coupleable with at least one of the piata and the hitting stick. The electronic device may be reconfigured to output customized responses or from a wide library of audio is stored which can be selected from music, voice, instructions or sounds of various kinds. The electronic device may interact with third party devices via hosted application.
