A system that includes an electronic baton device with motion and capacitive sensors. The system includes a processor and non-tangible computer readable media having stored programming instructions thereon that, when executed, cause the processor to receive sensor data from the motion and capacitive sensors, and determine an exchange zone to exchange the baton device between an incoming runner and an outgoing runner of a relay, based on the sensor data.

The processor selectively displays on a display device the relay race metrics for each athlete, the determined baton metrics, the determined usage efficiency in the exchange zone, and the determined baton transition metrics in one or more selected graphical user interfaces.

An apparatus for coaching improvements for a performer during a performance activity based on observed actual performance in comparison to a possible performance, with sensors measuring performance criteria. A microprocessor computer creates respective pseudo-measurements relevant to the performance activity based on the measurements, which are normalized and evaluated as to proximity to a possible performance value. A display presents the measured actual performance in relation to the possible performance, so the performer may change actions and observe on the display the effect of the change. A method of coaching performer during a performance activity is disclosed.

A smart mirror can show live or recorded streaming video of an instructor performing a workout in a package that is attractive and unobtrusive enough to hang in a living room. The smart mirror includes a mirror surface with a fully reflecting section and a partially reflecting section. A display behind the partially reflecting section shows the video when the smart mirror is on and is almost invisible when the smart mirror is off. The smart mirror also has a speaker, a microphone, and a camera to enable a user to view the video content and interact with the instructor. The smart mirror may connect to the user's smart phone, a peripheral device (e.g., a Bluetooth speaker) to augment user experience, a biometric sensor to provide biometric data to assess user performance, and/or a network router to connect the smart mirror to a content provider, an instructor, and/or other users.

A solution for estimating effectiveness of periodic motion during a physical exercise. such as a running exercise, is disclosed. According to an aspect, a computer-implemented method for estimating the effectiveness of the periodic motion includes: measuring, by using at least one motion sensor, periodic motion of a user, and thus acquiring motion measurement data during a time interval of a physical exercise; transforming the motion measurement data into frequency-domain samples; extracting, amongst the frequency-domain samples by using peak detection, a first subset of frequency-domain samples representing periodic motion; computing a metric indicating a ratio between energy on the first subset of frequency domain samples and energy on other frequency domain samples; and mapping the computed ratio to an effectiveness parameter by using a determined mapping rule and outputting the effectiveness parameter via an interface.

Performance testing of an athlete uses a gate which provides status indications for the athlete during the test and a sensor which detects movement of the athlete from a start position. A controller communicates with the gate and the sensor to conduct the test. The controller receives athlete movement data and determines first movement characteristics of the athlete at the start position.

A pulley force detection device for a weight-training fitness equipment includes a measured element arranged on a stator portion of a pulley of the fitness equipment, and a detection module arranged on a rotor portion. The detection module includes at least one measuring element corresponding to the measured element to detect a motion stroke, a speed, and a power value during force application to a pulley body. Alternatively, the measured element is arrangeable on the rotor portion of the pulley, while the measuring element is arranged on the stator portion of the pulley. The pulley force detection device is further combinable with a weight measurement device for detecting a weight of the weight block.
