An operation information providing apparatus that provides information regarding a repetitive operation which is synchronously performed by a first user and a second user, includes a processor that detects a deviation of a timing of an operation of the second user based on a timing of an operation of the first user by using an output of a first sensor detecting the operation of the first user and an output of a second sensor detecting the operation of the second user, and an output unit that outputs information indicating the positive or negative of the deviation of a case where the deviation is detected.

An apparatus and method for recognizing a gait motion by detecting a landing point in time of a foot of a user based on sensed acceleration information, inferring a gait motion based on right and left hip joint angle information of the user sensed at the detected landing point in time of the foot of the user, and detecting a landing leg between both legs of the user based on the inferred gait motion may be provided.

A method for profiling an athlete is discloses. The method comprises storing force-time data for a population of athletes; wherein said force-time data is generated by a sensor system in respect of each of said plurality of athletes in response to the said athlete performing an athletic movement, and comprises values for a concentric net vertical impulse (CON-IMP), an average eccentric rate of force development (ECC-RFD), and an average vertical concentric force (CON-VF); performing a normalization of the force-time data for each athlete based on values of the force-time data within the population of athletes; and generating a profile comprising an athletic signature for each athlete in the population, wherein said profile comprises the normalized values for the concentric net vertical impulse (CON-IMP), the average eccentric rate of force development (ECC-RFD), and the average vertical concentric force (CON-VF) for the athlete.

A system and method for determining and tracking a location of a participant traveling along a route wherein the participant being tracked with an RFID tag using an RFID tag reader and a timing system, the system includes a location device associated with the RFID tag and has a location data receiver for receiving location information from a location providing source, and a wireless communication interface and time stamps each received location information, and transmits tag location data over the wireless interface, and a location detection device that is in wireless communication with the location device receives the transmitted tag location data, and transmits the received location data to the timing system, with the timing system associating the received location data with the RFID tag number as provided by the RFID tag reader provided tag reads of the RFID tag associated with the location device.
