User activity including both athletic activity (e.g., running, walking, etc.) and non-athletic activity (shopping, reading articles, etc.) may be monitored and tracked by an athletic monitoring and tracking device and service. The user activity may be used to award a user with an amount of virtual currency to encourage the user to continue various activities. In one example, users may use the virtual currency to purchase or otherwise acquire various products, services, discounts and the like. A user may track an amount currency earned and/or needed relative to an amount required to acquire a desired product or service.

A compressible material is provided for use with athletic equipment and apparel for enhancing the effects of physical exercise for a person. The material can include one or more compression members that extend from shoes, insoles for shoes, exercise gloves, wraps for exercise equipment, exercise mat or floor covering, headbands, socks, exercise garments, free weights and sports helmets. The compression members can be made of one or more of rubber, thermoplastic rubber, foam rubber, polyurethane rubber, silicone rubber, thermoplastic resin and thermoplastic elastomer. Positioning the compressible material such that it is between the user and any surface for example when exercising, requires the person to maintain balance while performing the exercise by using other muscles that would not ordinarily be used during the exercise, and provides proprioceptive feedback to the person's central nervous system.

A fitness support and storage accessory has a glove and a sleeve for supporting a user's hand and forearm, respectively, while working out and a plurality of storage compartments for securing everyday items. The glove has a sleeve connector, while the sleeve has a glove connector; the sleeve connector and the glove connector allowing the glove to be removably attached to the sleeve. The plurality of storage compartments is integrated into both the glove and the sleeve, having a card holder, a phone holder, and a pouch. The card holder is integrated into the glove, while the phone holder and the pouch are integrated into the sleeve. Each of the plurality of storage compartments has a compartment closure to secure the items positioned within. The glove has a hand portion that can be configured as a fingerless glove for weightlifting or as a boxing glove.

A disk shaped quiet bumper plate for a barbell has a rim of elastomeric material with a shock absorber region. The shock absorber region has a circumferential row of evenly spaced transverse holes. The material between the holes forms radial walls which act as shock absorbers when the bumper plate is dropped. This reduces noise without unduly increasing bounce.

The present disclosure provides athletic hand grips and methods of using the same. The hand grips may be provided in pairs and worn on both hands to protect the user's palms, in particular. The hand grips may be worn during various athletic activities, including weight lifting, CrossFit activities, and gymnastics, for example.

A system and method for using performance signatures can include generating a set of performance features during an activity of the first participant by collecting kinematic data from at least one inertial measurement unit and generating a set of biomechanical signals; combining the set of performance features into the performance signature; generating at least a second performance signature from a set of participants; comparing the performance signature of the first participant to at least the second performance signature; and applying a result of the comparison to an interaction with at least one participant.

Sport sleeves comprising one or more anti-slip components are disclosed.
