Measuring device / sensor system for measuring, transferring and processing of relevant performance data from training and competition in contact sports, in particular the physical contact and its force effect
Measuring device / sensor system for measuring, transferring and processing of relevant performance data from training and competition in contact sports, in particular the physical contact and its force effect
In practice and as far as possible, performance data in contact sports, in particular those of factual contact and force effect of relevant objects and persons to each other, are not surveyed separately but evaluated subjectively. In contact sports like martial arts this is especially critical, because an occurred contact and its force effect are the significant success data in these sports. In other types of contact sports, e.g. ball sports one is concentrated on the performance data, that lead to goal achievement (e.g. goal scoring) and is not looking objectively into the performance of participants for, for example, draw conclusions about the correct technique execution at any time in a game or competition. Though there are already measuring devices for some contact sports for detecting force effect and contact, these are limited to several defined single sensors and applications. Therefore it may be possible to make objective measurement but in case of doubt, a subjective evaluation of technique and point assignment is still necessary. This invention contains a system of measuring devices, that can, especially in martial arts sports, improve the point assignment and in other contact sports the evaluation of techniques. These special measuring devices for contact measuring and its movement and acceleration sensors, display systems and hardware interfaces can be combined with software interfaces and be tailored to fit different applications. In case of martial arts sports, the configuration of protective equipment with these measuring devices is one use case, in which the measuring devices detect all relevant data like contact, force effect and movement direction, that can be used for competition decisions.
