A coil formed from conductive strands in the fabric-based item may be used by wireless power receiving circuitry in the fabric-based item to receive the wireless power. The coil may have one or more turns that run around the ring-shaped strip of stretchable fabric.

A method includes capturing, using an Internet of Things (IoT) device, real-time video of a user performing an exercise associated with a first exercise class. Real-time video of the user is displayed, via a display, concurrently with video of an instructor, to provide a visual comparison of the user to the instructor. Image analysis of the real-time video of the user is performed to determine a performance of the user, and a representation thereof is displayed. Biometric data associated with the user is received at the IoT device from a wearable device at multiple points in time. Heart rates are identified based on the biometric data, and scores based on the heart rates are displayed via the display. A recommendation for a second exercise class different from the first exercise class is determined based on a profile of the user, and displayed via the display.

Methods, systems, and computer-program products used for assessing athletic ability and generating performance data. In one embodiment, athlete performance data is generated through computer-vision analysis of video of an athletic performing, e.g., during practice or gameplay. The generated performance data for the athlete may include, for example, maximum speed, maximum acceleration, time to maximum speed, transition time (e.g., time to change direction), closing speed (e.g., time to close the distance to another athlete), average separation (e.g., between the athlete and another athlete), play-making ability, athleticism (e.g., a weighted computation and/or combination of multiple metrics), and/or other performance data. This performance data may be used to generate and/or update a profile associated with the athlete, which can be utilized for recruiting, scouting, comparing, and/or assessing athletes with greater efficiency and precision.

The various embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for a fully mobile, non-invasive, continuous system for monitoring the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health of an individual during exercise, and for administering a protocol for ischemic pre-conditioning. The system includes a wearable devices affixed on the user with a chest strap, coupled with an application running on a computing device (smartphone/smartwatch), which performs various computations on the wearable device, and allows the user to get real time alerts during exercise, by way of vibrations or audio messages or notifications on the gateway device, to guide them through a protocol for ischemic pre-conditioning.

Methods are provided for measuring real-time concussive and vascular brain injuries, within seconds of the incident, by using a cascading decrease of optic nerve oxygen perfusion as captured by the retina oximetry, which is representative of inherent processes taking place within the brain subsequent to various degrees of cranial insult.
