SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING DRAG FORCE DATA TO OPTIMIZE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
A method provides for optimizing at least one exercise. The method includes receiving first image data. The first image data includes first pixel data associated with the user performing the exercise at a first time. The method includes receiving second image data. The second image data includes second pixel data associated with the user performing the exercise at a second time. The method includes determining, based on a difference between the first pixel data and the second pixel data, deviation data associated with a profile of the user. The method includes generating outline data based on the deviation data and corresponding to a frontal area of the user. The method may also include determining drag coefficient data based on the frontal area of the user. The method includes determining, based on the outline data and the drag coefficient data, drag force data associated with the user using the exercise device.
Ambulation simulation systems, terrain simulation systems, treadmill systems, and related systems and methods
In various embodiments, a treadmill system may include one or more custom treadmill hardware devices and one or more accompanying pieces of software which may be configured to work in tandem to simulate one or more virtual terrains within a game on a physical treadmill. In particular embodiments, the system is configured to enable a user to control a direction of a virtual avatar as the avatar traverses the virtual terrain (e.g., while the user is using the treadmill). The system may then be configured to manipulate the treadmill (i.e., incline of the treadmill, speed of the treadmill, etc.) based on the terrain that the avatar is currently traversing. The system may utilize one or more imaging devices to identify particular gestures performed by the user. In this way, the system may be configured provide hands free control to the user while the user is using the treadmill.
Athletic Performance Sensing and/or Tracking Systems and Methods
Athletic performance sensing and/or tracking systems include components for measuring or sensing athletic performance data and/or for storing and/or displaying desired information associated with the athletic performance to the user (or others). Such systems can allow users a wide variety of options in creating workouts, selecting and presenting media content during the athletic performance, etc., e.g., to help keep users entertained and motivated. In some instances, user feedback may be used, optionally in combination with objective data relating to a workout, to control features of the workout routine, to control the music or other media content selected and/or presented, and/or to control features of future workout routines and/or the presented media content.
