Systems and methods are disclosed for generating and providing guided practices and coaching feedback (e.g., illustrated in 3D images, video, or audio) that allow golfers to follow along to improve their physical swing in a digital environment. The feedback may be provided with a 3D avatar using a biomechanical analysis of observed actions with a focus on representing actions through computer-generated 3D avatars. Physical quantities of biomechanical actions can be measured from the observations, and the system can analyze these values, compare them to target or optimal values, and use the observations and known biomechanical capabilities to generate the guided practices and coaching feedback.

The walking training system includes: a treadmill; a determination unit configured to determine whether a walking of the trainee on the treadmill is an abnormal walking based on predetermined abnormal walking symptoms; a display unit configured to display a result of a determination of each of the abnormal walking symptoms; a reception unit configured receive a selection of at least one result of the determination from the results of the determinations, each of which displayed on the display unit, in which regarding pieces of advice about adjustment items for improving the abnormal walking symptoms in the result of the determination which the reception unit has received the selection, the display unit preferentially displays the pieces of advice that are common to pieces of advice about adjustment items for improving the abnormal walking symptoms in a result of another determination in which the determination unit determines the abnormal walking.

Fitness tracking devices and methods of operating the same. The fitness tracking device includes a sensor circuit to generate sensor data; a processor coupled to the sensor circuit; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to: buffer sensor data associated with motion of the user limb; generate an exercise prediction based on a prediction model and the sensor data, the prediction model defined by one or more oscillating signal profiles to identify genus predictions for respective limb movement types about at least one sensor axis, wherein the exercise prediction is generated based on a combination of an identified genus prediction associated with the generated sensor data and environment data associated with motion of the user limb; and transmit a signal representing the exercise prediction for display on a user interface.

There is disclosed a system for conducting multi-member group competitions involving physical exertion, the system includes a competition server that serves to designate a set of parameters for a competition involving at least two competing groups of individuals engaged in physical activity, the set of parameters defining a win condition requiring physical activity to be completed by at least two separate individuals within each group. The system further receives data representative of physical activity of multiple individuals in a first group, receives data representative of physical activity of multiple individuals in a second group, determines whether the win condition has been satisfied by the first group or the second group, and identifies a winner as the first group or the second group that completed the win condition.

An interactive exercise method includes streaming exercise content to an interactive video system for display via a mirror, the exercise content including a depiction of an instructor performing a repetitive movement. A video stream of a user performing the repetitive movement is received, via a camera of the interactive video system, and the user is detected in the video stream. The user or a body portion thereof is tracked in the video stream as the user performs the repetitive movement. The method also includes generating a measure of a difference between a form of the user performing the repetitive movement and a predetermined form for the repetitive movement. A corrective movement is displayed to the user, via the display and during the display of the instructor performing the repetitive movement, based on the measure, to conform the form of the user to the predetermined form for the repetitive movement.

A multidimensional exercise control system is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a control system of an exercise machine comprises a memory device storing instructions, a user interface for presenting a video game with an avatar, and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device and the user interface. The processing device is configured to execute the instructions to receive sensor data from a sensor operatively coupled to an exercise machine, wherein the sensor data comprises one or more measurements; responsive to the one or more measurements, cause the avatar to change a position in the video game; compare the one or more measurements to a target threshold; determine whether the one or more measurement exceed the target threshold; and responsive to determining that the one or more measurements exceed the target threshold, cause the user interface to present a modification to the video game.

Provided is a technique with which a batter who is practicing batting with a tee can acknowledge how the batter should change his/her hitting posture. An information processing device includes a processor that executes: (a) continuously measuring, according to either or both of output signals from a motion sensor and a force plate, a posture of a batter who is practicing batting with a tee; (b) determining, according to an output signal from a force sensor internally stored in the tee, a timing at which the batter hits a ball placed at the tee; (c) determining, as a hitting posture of the batter, a posture of the batter at the determined timing; and (d) outputting a message instructing the batter to change the batter's hitting posture, according to information indicating an exemplary hitting posture and information indicating the determined batter's hitting posture.

A processing system includes a processor. The processor is configured to: acquire user data including physical information of a user; acquire muscle site data on a muscle site desired to be built and an amount of load to be placed on the muscle site; calculate a recommended setting of training equipment that places the load to a muscle of the user, based on the user data and the muscle site data; and output the recommended setting.

Provided is a digital mat system for managing and analyzing cognitive and physical abilities of a user that is capable of managing and analyzing individual cognitive and physical abilities of a user (particularly the elderly) and providing a customized solution that matches individual abilities, thereby assisting in preventing geriatric diseases, such as falling and dementia.
