A sleeve for improving a swinging motion of a user wearing the sleeve includes a tubular portion and a primary member. The tubular portion has a first opening and a second opening. The tubular portion configured to directly engage an arm portion of the user, wherein the arm portion extends from the first opening to the second opening. The primary member is substantially adjacent a first opening of the tubular portion, wherein the primary member is removably attached or permanently attached to the sleeve. The thickness of the primary member is greater than a thickness of the tubular portion for providing feedback to the user when the primary member is in contact with a torso of the user.

An athletic performance monitoring system, for motivating a user to reach a goal level of athletic activity. The system may motivate the user by calculation a deficit between a current total level of activity and the goal level of athletic activity, and suggesting activity types that the user may carry out an order to reach the goal level, wherein the suggested activity types may be based on activities that are geographically close to the user, or sporting equipment worn by, or in possession of, the user.

The present invention discloses an exercise system that allows tracking and monitoring of the exercise motion performed by end-users and enables insight into previously unavailable performance metrics. In a preferred embodiment of the instant invention, an exercise system comprising a barbell equipped with a system to determine the motion path of the barbell when lifted by an individual. The system for determining the motion path and the weight-load applied to the barbell comprises an array of sensors that collect information during the exercise movement, transmit that data to a collection system and processing system for analysis. The fusion of the plurality of sensors allows tracking and analysis of complex movements such as Olympic lifts (e.g., snatch or clean-and-jerk). For example, during exercise the motion and weight-load of the barbell of the instant invention is tracked and analyzed. The results of the analysis are reported to the athlete to improve the lifting form/technique or performance.

A rehabilitation assistance device (1), provided with: an arm part (30) having a holding part (20) for holding a part of the upper limb or the lower limb of a user, the arm part (30) movably supporting the holding part (20); a memory unit (80) for storing training information, the memory unit (80) storing first training information defined in advance; a motion information acquisition unit (61) for acquiring motion information associated with the movement of the holding part (20), the motion information acquisition unit (61) acquiring first motion information for the holding part (20) moved on the basis of the first training information; a motion evaluation unit (72) for generating evaluation information in which the motion information is evaluated, the motion evaluation unit (72) evaluating the first motion information and generating first evaluation information; and a display (40) for displaying at least one of the training information, the motion information, and the evaluation information.

A portable exercise apparatus including an exercise board with moving and fixed indices marking progress made while exercising a knee which requires therapy consisting of controlled flexing and extending of the knee joint. A foot board or seated foot slide cooperatively engages and slides back and forth on the exercise board. An knee/ankle platform is removably attachable to the seated foot slide providing for active or passive knee extension stretching and a short-arc quad. A knee extension pad and target is included for use with the platform. Sensing means which may include a microprocessor control box or computer or smart device with a light and/or sound device for visual and/or auditory feedback are in communication with the exercise board provide a user with the results of flexing or extending the knee by a selected controlled amount.

Described herein is an electronic device mounted in a relation to an exercise apparatus for capturing exercise data for a user of the exercise apparatus. Specifically, the electronic device comprises one or more sensors configured to detect a linear motion, a rotation, or a combination of both linear motion and rotation performed by the exercise apparatus. The electronic device may determine whether the motions correspond to a designated exercise pattern of the exercise apparatus. In response to determining exercise pattern, the electronic device collects a series of motion data from the exercise apparatus and process the series of motion data to generate exercise data. The electronic device may also transmit the exercise data to other client devices of the user or cloud servers.

A sports electronic training system with sport ball, and applications thereof, are disclosed. In an embodiment, the system comprises at least one monitor and an electronic processing device for receiving data from the at least one monitor and providing feedback to an individual based on the received data. The monitor can be a motion monitor that measures an individual's performance such as, for example, speed, pace and distance for a runner. Other monitors might include a heart rate monitor, a temperature monitor, an altimeter, et cetera. In an embodiment, a sport ball that includes a motion monitor for monitoring motion of the sport ball stores an identification value received when a shoe that includes a motion monitor contacts the sport ball. The stored identification value serves as a record of the contact.

The invention presents a system and methods to perform rehabilitation or physical therapy exercise while doing specifically designed video-games with the support of a therapist. Patient plays said video-games with external controllers with motion sensors connected to a pc or a laptop. The therapist can influence a gaming session of the patient by setting on a shared web-service thresholds for the patient. Said settings are gathered before starting a gaming session and patient movements are filtered by said settings to control the video-game. The patient is then limited in the movements by the feedbacks provided by the audio-visual interface of the video-game: movements on the screen are a result of the real movement done by the patient with said motion sensors filtered by the settings imposed by the therapist on the shared web space. On the other side, a patient with problems in doing some movements, can effectively play a video-game thanks to filtering imposed by the therapist. Information about the game played, and consequently about movements performed, are finally uploaded on the web-service for further analysis by the therapist.
