Disclosed is a technical training garment configured for use with modular, interchangeable electronics and resistance modules. The garment provides resistance to movement throughout an angular range of motion and tracks biomechanical parameters such as stride length, stride rate, angular velocity and incremental power expended by the wearer. The garment may be low profile, and worn by a wearer as a primary garment or beneath or over conventional clothing. Alternatively, the device may be worn as a supplemental training tool during conventional training protocols.

A wearable device such as a garment is disclosed, having at least one resistance element at a motion segment such as a hip or knee. The garment includes at least one sensor, for sensing a parameter. Electronics are provided for processing the sensed parameter, and for providing feedback. Feedback may be in the form of proprioceptive tactile or audible feedback, or in the form of an adjustment of a performance parameter of the wearable device. In one implementation, resistance to movement of the wearer is adjusted up or down in response to changes in power output by the wearer.

An apparatus for musculoskeletal stimulation allows a restoring element communicating with the limb support to provide a restoring force to the limb support that is dependent on displacement of the limb support from a neutral positions. The restoring force may be applied by a weight or a spring.

An example disclosed method of receiving first blink data from a first tag, the first tag carried by a wearable location device associated with a monitored individual having a restricted region; determining tag location data based on the first blink data, the tag location data indicative of the monitored individual locations of the monitored individuals; determining if the monitored individual location is within the restricted region; and when the monitored individual location is within the restricted region: identifying a second tag associated with a security person in proximity to the monitored individual location; alerting the security personnel via the second tag as to the monitored individual being located in the restricted region.

Exercise systems that include self-coupling weight pods that couple with one another to form weight clusters that a user can use in performing various body movements, such as exercise and conditioning movements. Each weight pod typically has a calibrated weight so that the user may know the amount of weight they are using. Each weight pod includes one or more coupling features that allow that weight pod to couple to one or more other weight pods and/or to an accessory, such as a strap. In some embodiments, each weight pod is soft so as to inhibit injury to a user of another close by the user. The weight pods can be used with one or more accessories, such as a strap, a bell bag that emulates a kettle bell, and a rucksack that can be configured to be a multifunctional component of an overall exercise system, among others.

The present disclosure is directed to a system for sensor-based objective determination. In general, sensor data may be used to render objective determinations that were not previously possible due to the unavoidable subjectivity of human-based officiating systems. For example, at least one device may be configured to make objective determinations during the course of a sporting event. Data collection circuitry may receive data from sensor devices coupled to players, equipment, playing surfaces, etc. Data analysis circuitry may categorize the data and input the data into a model to determine if an infraction occurred. For example, categorization may involve determining a type of infraction that may have occurred based on the sensor data. The model may then be selected based on the type of infraction, the model being developed utilizing prior sensor data, rules for the sporting event, etc. Output circuitry may generate a notification based on the infraction determination.

In an illustrative embodiment, a wearable system for encoding and a method for comparing a tacit motion is provided including at least one base pod, each base pod having a processor and at least one first sensor in communication with the processor, the at least first sensor configured to sense a first motion of a wearer; one or more distributed modules, each distributed module including at least one second sensor for sensing a second motion of the wearer, each second sensor configured to be in communication with the processor of the base pod and to be positioned at a distinct location relative to a body and/or joint; and where each sensor is positioned at a different distinct location relative to a body and/or joint, where coordinated data from each sensor is configured to be used for detecting a tacit motion.

A wearable device such as a garment is disclosed, having at least one sensor, for sensing a parameter. Electronics are provided for processing the sensed parameter, and for providing feedback. Feedback may be in the form of proprioceptive tactile or audible feedback, or in the form of an adjustment of a performance parameter of the wearable device. In one implementation, the processor is configured to activate an effector to provide feedback to the wearer to make a body position correction to bring the position into alignment with predetermined body position reference data.

An example disclosed method of displaying an image at a venue includes receiving blink data from tags, each of the tags carried by a wearable location device associated with a monitored individual; determining tag location data based on the blink data, the tag location data indicative of locations of the monitored individuals; detecting an occurrence of an event associated with an image; in response to the occurrence of the event: assigning a plurality of the tags a particular color based on the tag location data, the plurality of the tags corresponding to a plurality of the wearable location devices; generating an instruction configured to cause the plurality of the wearable location devices to emit light of the particular color; and transmitting the instruction to the plurality of the plurality of the tags to cause the plurality of the wearable location devices to display the image.

A foot harness for resistance exercises. The foot harness may comprise: a top strap, a bottom strap, a heel strap, and one or more attachment points. A first end of the top strap, first end of the bottom strap, and first end of the heel strap may be coupled to one another at a first juncture region. A second end of the top strap, second end of the bottom strap, and second end of the heel strap may be coupled to one another at a second juncture region. The top strap may be adapted to engage with an upper portion of a shoe. The bottom strap may be adapted to engage with a bottom portion of the shoe. The heel strap may be adapted to engage with a rear portion of the shoe. The attachment points may be disposed at the first juncture region and the second juncture region.
