Hang Time Measurements Using Wearable Electronic Devices
Wearable electronic devices that are designed to be worn on the head of a user while the user is swimming can determine swimming strokes and swimming performances of the user using motion sensors. Using a sound speaker, the wearable electronic device can play music and provide audio feedback to the swimmer. By comparing the swimming performance of the swimmer wearing the device with previously recorded swimming data, the wearable electronic device can provide audio comparison results to the swimmer while the swimmer is swimming in water. The wearable electronic device can also support similar functions for jumping actions.
AQUATIC EXERCISE DEVICE
An aquatic exercise device is disclosed, able to exert omnidirectional uniform water resistance while exercising, so that equal force is required to move it in any direction. The water resistance of the device according to the invention can be adjusted in a quick and measured way. This device can be operated with one hand and can be brought close to the body of exerciser.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE FOR SWIMMER WINGS
A system and method for two swimmer wings designed using biomimicry and inspired by winged creatures/birds of flight as well as the fore flippers of a sea turtle. The swimmer wings are designed for users to traverse long distances instead of relying on personal watercrafts or boats to not only help sustain the environment by reducing the carbon footprint but also provide physical exercise to improve the user's well-being. The swimmer wings include a board, an arm guard which shields the user's forearm, and arm fasteners that secure the user's forearm between the board and the arm guard.
Heads up display systems for swimming goggles
The present disclosure provides a heads up display (HUD) system configured for use with a pair of swimming goggles comprising first and second eye cups, a nose bridge connected to inner sides of the eye cups, and strap mounting portions on outer sides of the eye cups. The HUD system comprises an electronics and optics modules. The electronics module comprises a water tight housing and a processor, memory, power supply, sensors and a display within the water tight housing. The processor processes signals from the sensors to determine swimming performance data and controls the display to generate an image containing the swimming performance data. The optics module is mounted on one of the eye cups and is coupled to the electronics module for receiving the image from the display. The optics module extends from the electronics module and has one or more light directing features for redirecting the image toward an eye of a user to generate a redirected image.
STARTING PLATFORM WITH INTEGRATED BACKSTROKE ANCHOR LEDGE
A swimming starting platform having a base supporting a tread surface and an anchor ledge for supporting swimmers. The base includes a shaft extending through an interior cavity of the base from a first side panel to a second side panel. An adjustment mechanism is coupled to an end of the shaft and positioned along the first side panel, where the adjustment mechanism is actuatable to rotate the shaft and adjust a position of the anchor ledge relative to the base of the starting platform.
Swimming flipper
A swimming flipper (1) comprising a foot portion (2) and substantially flat blade portion (3) extending there from, said blade portion (3) having provided on each longitudinal side thereof at least two opposed rails (4/5) extending inwardly and at an angle equal to or less than 90 degrees to the plane of said blade portion (3), and said blade portion (3) having provided at least two ridges (7/8) preferably underneath the blade portion (3) extending longitudinally from the foot portion (2), said foot portion (2) having provided a one-piece strap (6), and said foot portion (2) having provided at least two fixed couplings (11/12) to engage and disengage with the corresponding and opposing couplings of another said flipper portion (1) to interlock and hold two flippers attached to each other.
FLOATING GAME ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
In one aspect, there is provided a floating game, comprising a plurality of game markers that are floatable in water, and a game pad. The game pad is sufficiently floatable in water to support a plurality of humans thereon. The game pad includes a first side and a second side that face away from one another. At least one of the first side and the second side includes indicia shaped based on the plurality of game markers. The game pad is flexible and conforms in shape based on a surface of the water. The game pad is positionable in a storage state in which the game pad, and in a use state. The game pad is more compact in the storage state than in the use state.
Swimming Speedometer System with Near-Eye Display
An apparatus and method for measuring a swimmer's speed and conveying the speed to the swimmer in real time includes a plurality of ultrasonic beacons each having a transducer configured to emit ultrasonic signals in a pool or other body of water within which the swimmer is swimming. A wearable, waterproof, ultrasonic receiver worn by the swimmer, receives the ultrasonic signals and generates corresponding signal data. The receiver's microcontroller captures and uses the signal data to calculate the swimmer's position and speed in real time, and conveys this information to a wearable, waterproof, user interface device worn by the swimmer, the user interface device including a near-eye display disposed on the swimmer's googles.
Aquatic exercise system and method
An aquatic exercise system includes a pool and an aquatic exercise apparatus positioned in the pool. The aquatic exercise apparatus includes a base and an aquatic exercise pole having a first substantially straight section, a second substantially straight section, and a curved transition section between the first substantially straight section and the second substantially straight section. The curved transition section includes a bend, and the aquatic exercise apparatus is positioned in the pool such that bend is above a surface of water in the pool.
TRAINING MECHANISM AND ROBOT FOR WATER-BASED LOWER-LIMB REHABILITATION
A training mechanism for water-based lower-limb rehabilitation, including two leg training sub-mechanisms. Each leg training sub-mechanism includes a hip joint training device, an adjustable thigh plate, an adjustable shank plate, a knee training device, an ankle training device and a pedal. The hip joint training device, knee training device and ankle training device are connected to a remote control motor box through a Bowden cable assembly, respectively. A robot including the training mechanism is also provided, whose power source is arranged outside the water, and the power is supplied to the training mechanism through the Bowden cable assembly.
