A walking training system includes a treadmill, a center-of-gravity position detection unit that detects a center-of-gravity position of a trainee from a load received from a sole of the trainee on a belt of the treadmill, a posture detection unit that detects a posture of the trainee, a center-of-gravity position estimation unit that estimates the center-of-gravity position of the trainee from the detected posture of the trainee, a determination unit that determines whether a difference between the detected center-of-gravity position and the estimated center-of-gravity position exceeds a predetermined value, and a notification unit that sends, when the determination unit determines that the difference exceeds the predetermined value, a notification notifying that whether the difference exceeds the predetermined value.

There is provided a method and apparatus for tracking a device. The tracked device may be a wearable device worn by a user participating in an athletic activity. An anchor device is positioned with respect to a playing area and receives signals from the tracked device. The anchor device estimates the position of the tracked device by measuring a distance and direction of the signal, and decodes the signal to obtain measurements taken by the tracked device. The position and the measurements are combined to produce tracking data for the device.

The device comprises a belt (3) on which is mounted a first sensing module (4), with: a) a hitch (6) for connecting a recovery component part (7) such as a spring; b) a first movement sensing unit (8) to detect 3D movement; c) a force sensing unit (9) to detect the force exerted by the recovery component part (7) upon the hitch (6); in which the movement and force data are processed and sent wirelessly via a data transmission unit (11); and d) first means of closure (13,14), to close the belt (3) to a required dimension. Allows simultaneous and coordinated consideration of force and movement data.

A method and a wearable device are provided. The method includes providing a swimming mode in the wearable device, and storing standard swimming stroke data that have been collected in advance as corresponding template data, when a monitoring process starts, activating the swimming mode according to an instruction given by a user who will immediately enter water, and after the swimming mode has been activated, controlling a sensor to collect swimming stroke data of the user; obtaining test data for identifying a swimming state of the user from the swimming stroke data; and matching the test data with each template data, when the test data successfully matches the template data, identifying the swimming state of the user to be the swimming state that corresponds to the template data.

A training apparatus is capable of generating and presenting a suitable training menu for finger exercise to maintain or improve a cognitive function and/or an exercise function of a human and supporting training of the human. The training apparatus includes a measuring apparatus and a terminal device. Analysis evaluating data based on measurement of the finger exercise including finger tapping is obtained, and the analysis evaluating data contains an evaluation value of an index item related to an exercise function of a user. A training menu for the user is generated based on the analysis evaluating data and contains a training item for the finger exercise. The index item includes at least one of an amount of exercise, endurance, rhythmicity, cooperativeness of both sides, or marker trackability. The training item includes an exercise to carry out the finger tapping in accordance with teaching information, stimulation, or a marker.

An electronic device for providing exercise information and a method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a first sensor module, a second sensor module, at least one output device, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to detect an event relating to start of an exercise state, obtain motion information corresponding to the exercise state using the first sensor module, obtain metabolite information of a user using the second sensor module, and provide information regarding the exercise state to the user through the at least one output device, based on whether the metabolite information satisfies a specified condition.

An exercise support device (10) includes: an acquisition unit (11A) that acquires a physical quantity indicating an execution degree of an exercise according to an exercise program indicating a predetermined self-weight exercise; a deriving unit (11B) that derives subsequent intensity of the exercise by using the physical quantity acquired by the acquisition unit (11A); and a presentation unit (11C) that presents the intensity derived by the deriving unit (11B).

Methods and apparatuses for athletic performance and technique monitoring are disclosed. In one example, a sensor output is received associated with a movement of a user torso during a running motion. The sensor output is analyzed to identify an undesirable torso motion.

A method controls a piece of exercise equipment when a user of the exercise equipment is using a virtual reality headset. The method begins by receiving sensor inputs detecting a position of the user with respect to the exercise equipment. An operational zone of the exercise equipment is then determined. It is then identified when the user is moving toward a warning area within the operational zone of the exercise equipment. The method then sends signals to the virtual reality headset. Based on the signals, the virtual reality headset creates audible and visual outputs to instruct the user to move back fully into the operational zone of the exercise equipment.

The described embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing linear tension to multiple areas of a person to improve training and exercise. The tension can be applied by cables supplied from cable spools that are attached within a resistance assembly. The resistance assembly can be worn as a backpack during exercises, thereby providing a portable means through which tension can be provided to the body. The cables from the resistance assembly can be attached to appendages such as the wrists and legs of the person, and the tension provided by the cables can be adjustable. For instance, the tension can be made non-uniform across the body in order to improve the person's ability to maneuver in situations where there is an imbalance of force on the body.
