Disclosed are various embodiments of golf training device that helps a golfer learn and coordinate lower body positions and movements with upper body movements, using a series of feedback signals. In one embodiment, among others, a system comprises a foot sensor that attaches to a Lead Foot of a user. The foot sensor is configured to detect a heel of the Lead Foot being raised. The system also comprises a leg sensor that attaches to a Trail Leg of the user, and the leg sensor detects a bend in the Trail Leg of the user. The foot sensor is configured to detect the heel being lowered at an instance after the detection of the bend in the Trail Leg. The system further comprises a feedback device configured to activate one or more feedback indicators after the detections of foot and/or leg movements.

Golf stroke training apparatus, as well as methods and systems to train a golfer to improve golf strokes, including putting strokes, wherein the golf stroke training apparatus provides a planar surface that can be levelled statically to the surface below it and can be adjusted by adding slope and/or pitch in quantifiable measurements and with a high degree of accuracy, wherein the repeatable golf stroke environments so provided permit repeatable and quantifiable golfer stroke actions and analysis and leading to golf stroke consistency.

Disclosed is a mat, method, and program for measuring a golf posture that are capable of measuring a golf club swing speed. The golf posture measuring mat capable includes a sensor unit sensing a pressure corresponding to a golf posture of a user and a trajectory of a head of a golf club, a control unit analyzing the golf posture of the user and a swing speed of the golf club based on a sensed signal of the sensor unit, a display unit displaying analysis data analyzed by the control unit, and a storage unit storing the analysis data and reference data. A plurality of sensors in the sensor unit are arranged one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally on a mat plate. Each of the plurality of sensors includes a single sensor including one among a capacitive pressure sensor, a resistive pressure sensor, and a hybrid pressure sensor, or includes a composite sensor including two or more among the capacitive pressure sensor, the resistive pressure sensor, and the hybrid pressure sensor.

Described herein are devices and systems relating to sports training equipment, for example, for baseball. These devices and systems can comprise a mat with markers identifying a plurality of positions on the mat. In some embodiments, the system can comprise removably attachable footpads to identify ideal foot positions for an athletic performance. In some embodiments, the footpads comprise one or more pressure sensors. The system can comprise one or more position sensors on a ball, and one or more position sensors removably attachable to a hand-held sports instrument. In some embodiments, the system can comprise a memory, communicatively coupled to a processor and a camera, with executable instructions to implement a set-up component, a user recognition component, a practice component, and instructional component, and a play component.

A system has footwear and a striking device. The striking device has a shaft connected to a striking surface for contacting an object. A sensor affixed to the shaft changes electrical resistance when the striking surface is swung to contact the object to in turn generate a signal reflective of the deflection of the shaft. The footwear is configured with an array of sensors that change at least one electrical characteristic upon deflection when the player is operating the striking device. The footwear is to send signals reflective of the deflection of the feet as the shaft is swung. The signals reflective of the deflection of the shaft and the footwear are sent to a cell phone, notebook, PC or the like suitably programmed to present audio and visual images of the feet positions and movement and movement of the striking device (e.g., golf club, racket).

Disclosed is an athletic posture analysis device including a pressure sensor plate for measuring the distribution of pressure applied to each of the feet of a user who performs an athletic action by the weight of the user, a display device for displaying athletic posture analysis information of the user, and a controller for performing control so as to specify the size and position of each of the feet of the user using information measured by the pressure sensor plate, to map a predetermined foot image, and to display the mapped foot image and the information regarding the distribution of pressure applied to each of the feet of the user in an overlapping fashion through the display device.

Disclosed is an athletic posture analysis device for analyzing an athletic posture taken by a user who stands on a foot plate, the athletic posture analysis device comprising: a pressure sensor plate provided at the foot plate for measuring a distribution of pressure applied to each of feet of the user, who performs an athletic action, by a weight of the user; a display device for displaying athletic posture analysis information of the user; and a controller for performing control so as to display a predetermined foot image and information regarding the distribution of pressure applied to each of the feet of the user in an overlapping fashion through the display device and to track a position of each of the feet of the user changed according to the user's athletic action and display the foot image.

In one embodiment, a system comprises a foot sensor that attaches to a Lead Foot of a user. The foot sensor is configured to detect a heel of the Lead Foot being raised. The system also comprises a leg sensor that attaches to a Trail Knee of the user, and the leg sensor detects a bend in a knee of a Trail Leg of the user after detecting the heel being raised. The foot sensor is configured to detect the heel being lowered at an instance after the detection of the bend in the knee of the Trail Leg and while the knee remains bent. The system further comprises a feedback device configured to activate feedback indicators.

A golf swing training device generally guides and trains a golf swing with a particular focus on weight transfers and hip rotations throughout the golf swing. The device includes a baseboard that provides a bottom fulcrum which aids an athlete in training a correct weight distribution throughout the golf swing. A pedal assembly, which includes a front pedal and a back pedal (corresponding to front/back feet), engages with a top fulcrum to aid the athlete in training correct hip rotation throughout the golf swing.
