A fitness pole system having first and second fitness poles, where each of the poles includes an elongated shaft having a first end grip portion coupled to a first terminal end region, a second end grip portion coupled to a second terminal end region, and an intermediate grip portion coupled to an intermediate region of the shaft and disposed between the first and second end grip portions. Each of the first and second end grip portions includes a user grip portion coupled to a respective terminal end region of the shaft, and a ground contacting portion coupled to a respective terminal end face of the shaft. The ground contacting portion has a main body having a bulbous contacting portion and an attachment member extending outwardly from a bottom surface of the contacting region. The attachment member can be coupled to the respective terminal end face of the shaft.

Systems and methods for a small light weight unit that can be securely held and centered in the palm of the holder during physical activities, such as exercises, including aerobic exercises. The weight unit also includes features for securing the weight in the palm during the exercise to achieve a specific desired weight and intensity of workout.

The present disclosure generally relates to managing user interfaces associated with physical activities. The user interface displays a scrollable list of affordances associated with physical activities. The affordances may contain physical activity and heart rate information. A user can launch a physical activity tracking function or an interface to change a workout metric using an affordance. Users can also control the music that is played in response to selecting a workout. Further, the interface can be used to compose a reply message to a received message that contains workout information. The interfaces can show a graph that includes heart data when the user's heart rate meets a heart rate alert criteria.

Training at the proper level of effort is important for athletes whose objective is to achieve the best results in the least time. In running, for example, pace is often monitored. However, pace alone does not reveal specific issues with regard to running form, efficiency, or technique, much less inform how training should be modified to improve performance or fitness. A sensing system and wearable sensor platform described herein provide real-time feedback to a user/wearer of his power expenditure during an activity. In one example, the system includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for acquiring multi-axis motion data at a first sampling rate, and an orientation sensor to acquire orientation data at a second sampling rate that is varied based on the multi-axis motion data.

Hand held weight units of light weight manufactured as a solid unit, a shell unit with core insert combinations or modular units with interlocking ends. Shell units with core inserts and modular interlocking units allow for the changing of held weight by inserting or removing inserts or by locking or unlocking of modular weight unit sets creating varying held weight. The weight units are primarily used with upper body exercises during aerobic exercises in the home, outdoors, or in a gym setting such as walking or running to vary the intensity of workout during use.

A training system having a support structure, where the support structure includes two or more supports forming a tunnel shape, resulting in two or more openings in the structure. The supports of the support structure also having one or more adjustment mechanisms and skin pieces. The supports, the ground, and a boundary wall defining an inner training area. The inner training area being adjustable in volume.

Systems and methods facilitate autonomous image capture and/or picture production. A location unit is attached to each tracked object. An object tracking device receives location information from each location unit. A camera control device controls, based upon the location information, at least one motorized camera to capture image data of at least one tracked object.

The invention concerns a device for measuring instantaneous sprint velocity, said device consisting of at least one position and/or one velocity sensor and one IMU sensor that respectively provide position and/or velocity and acceleration signals and wherein said signals are fused. The invention also concerns a method for measuring instantaneous sprint velocity comprising the use of at least one position and/or one velocity sensor and one IMU sensor that respectively provide position and/or velocity and acceleration signals and wherein said signals are fused.

A device for training athletes with direction control, the training device having modular sections connected by a common elastic material, such as an elastic cord, the modular sections being capable of being connected to form a rectangular configuration and disconnected for storage, the device when connected providing a physical and visual guide for the user on any chosen surface. The modular sections can be tubular sections having ninety-degree connectors to form a rectangular configuration, the modular sections and connectors capable of being various sizes, shapes, lengths and widths to form a rectangular configuration when interconnected. The various modular sections and/or connectors can be configured with an elastic cord, hinges or have one or more modular section that are telescopic in nature, which make the device capable to be quickly and easily reduced or enlarged in the size of the device while keeping each component of the device fully connected and in proper order.
