Provided is an apparatus, method, and system for simulating a defender of a sport activity.

Systems and methods for providing an activity training system are provided herein. A footbed system for activity instruction includes a support material; a microcontroller embedded in the support material; a plurality of haptic vibrators coupled to the microcontroller, the haptic vibrators disposed in the support material and configured to provide haptic feedback via a foot of a user; wherein the microcontroller is to: receive force sensor readings from a plurality of force sensors of a remote footbed system, the force sensor readings caused by a user of the remote footbed system changing their body position; and activate a subset of the plurality of haptic vibrators to provide haptic feedback, the haptic feedback corresponding to locations of the force sensor readings in the remote footbed system.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to track movement of sports implements are disclosed herein. An example sensing unit disclosed herein is to be coupled to a sports implement. The sensing unit includes an inertial measurement unit to obtain movement data of said sports implement during a swing of said sports implement and a swing analyzer to determine a follow-through pattern of the swing of said sports implement based on the movement data.

Athletic data may be recorded and displayed using a computing device such as a mobile communication device during performance of physical activity. In some examples, the device may provide options for defining and recording athletic activity performed by the user. Such options may include various content item selection and rendering controls. Additionally or alternatively, route selection and controls may be provided through the device. Recorded activity data may further be transmitted to a remote site through a network.

A golf club having a sensor that is releasably connected is disclosed, where the sensor comprises a plurality of inertial measurement units. Each inertial measurement unit is able to measure linear accelerations along three orthogonal axes and angular rates of rotation along the same three orthogonal axes. Each inertial measurement unit is positioned such that at least two of the axes of each inertial measurement unit are oriented differently. Additionally, a process may be implemented by a processor to expand the measurement range of the sensor.

A real-time performance management may be used for cycling. A first computing device retrieves profile data related to a cyclist. The first computing device receives sensor readings from one or more sensors. A first sensor of the one or more sensors detects cyclist tilt. Profile data and the sensor readings from the one or more sensors determine cyclist status. A notification based on the determined cyclist status communicates to a user.

A golf swing indication assembly for practicing a golf swing including a mat, a power supply and a plurality of swing path indicators. The mat has a top surface including a swing side and a stance side, a bottom surface, and a perimeter edge including a first end edge, a second end edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The stance side includes the first end edge and has feet location indicia positioned thereon. The power supply is mounted in the mat. At least one swing path indicator is mounted to the mat and is electrically coupled to the power supply. The swing path indicator is positioned on the swing side and configured to detect a golf club head when the golf club head moves within 2.0 inches the swing path indicator. The swing path indicators emit visible light when the golf club head is detected.

A jump rope device including a rope portion, a first handle disposed on a first end of the rope portion, and a second handle disposed on a second end of the rope portion. A wireless speaker is disposed inside at least one of the first handle and the second handle. The wireless device is configured to connect to a music device.

Hand held weight units of light weight manufactured as a solid unit, a shell unit with core insert combinations or modular units with interlocking ends. Shell units with core inserts and modular interlocking units allow for the changing of held weight by inserting or removing inserts or by locking or unlocking of modular weight unit sets creating varying held weight. The weight units are primarily used with upper body exercises during aerobic exercises in the home, outdoors, or in a gym setting such as walking or running to vary the intensity of workout during use.
