A movement analyzer includes a position information acquiring device, a memory, and a processor. The processor executes a program to perform operations including acquiring position information of the movement analyzer with the position information acquiring device, determining whether or not a moving state of the movement analyzer is a specific moving state, and recording the position information corresponding to the specific moving state in the memory as a path of the specific moving state when a determination result indicates that the moving state of the movement analyzer is the specific moving state.

A ski exercising apparatus has a set of two parallel, arcuate rails, a wheeled carriage riding on the rails, a set of two articulated footpads mounted side-by-side on the wheeled carriage; and two sets of powerbands arranged parallel with a lengthwise centerline of the apparatus, spaced apart by at least one-half of the width of the apparatus.

The invention relates to sports training devices, specifically to carving simulators for alpine skiing. A simulator includes a base having arcuate guide rails, a movable platform disposed thereon with leg platforms, which are rotatably installed on bearing walls, a support post having a horizontal section and a dynamic suspension. The dynamic suspension consists of a safety belt with an elastic suspension halyard connected to a roller drive mechanism installed in a cavity of a tubular horizontal section of the support post.

A system for analysis of user gait and to provide correction in form of haptic and visual feedback. This system comprises a motion and force sensors and a haptic actuator embedded in the user shoe insoles in communication with a smart-phone based analysis application, configured to calculate motion and orientation of the user feet in relation to the value, location and distribution of ground reaction forces measured by sensors located in the shoe insoles and after analysis of said forces and motion, to provide haptic feedback to the user foot instructing about the location (and timing) of pressure the user must apply to achieve an optimal gait.

Snow ski training methods with an apparatus are provided, including a snow ski training apparatus having two elongated freely rotatable overlapping ski arms pivotally mounted to a single vertical pivot point shaft fixed at the point of overlap on a sliding pivotal point assembly. Each ski arm has a foot pad with laces configured to receive a foot of a user at the tail end of each ski arm. Disclosed methods include placing a left foot and right foot of a user atop respective foot pads, assuming a hip flexed position, extending the hip and knees of the user until the user achieves an elevated position, laterally maneuvering the user's body through the user's sagittal plane while in the elevated position and around the single pivot point assembly, tangentially moving the user's feet along a congruent and overlapping arc, and returning to another hip flexed position.

An snow ski training apparatus and methods of use are provided comprising a longitudinal T-beam having a central axis aligned generally between front and rear vertical supports, with a sliding pivot point assembly operatively engaging the T-beam for longitudinal movement. A pair of unparallel ski arms are provided, each having a plurality of axially spaced holes along the length of each respective ski arm, which are pivotally mounted overlapping each other on the sliding pivot point assembly enabling each ski arm to freely and independently pivot around the same vertical axis point. A foot pad is selectively configured at the tail end of each ski arm, enabling a user's feet to rotate along the same, congruent and overlapping arc. An achievement disc is provided concentrically with the sliding pivot point assembly enabling correlation between angles achieved by a user in operation of the apparatus with varying degrees of difficulty of downhill turns in assimilation of parallel snow skiing.
