A mouthguard according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a teeth engagement portion having a medial surface. An anterior surface is coupled to the teeth engagement portion opposite the medial surface. A first breathing channel extends from the anterior surface to the medial surface. A second breathing channel extends from the anterior surface to the medial surface. A third breathing channel extends from the anterior surface to the medial surface. A first interior wall is disposed between the first breathing channel and the second breathing channel. The first interior wall is configured to be aligned with a first upper incisor of a wearer. A second interior wall is disposed between the second breathing channel and the third breathing channel. The second interior wall is configured to be aligned with a second upper incisor of the wearer.

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.

An oral appliance includes: 1) a body defining a channel to accommodate an upper dentition; and 2) a motion sensor. The body includes a front portion defining a recess, and the motion sensor is affixed to the front portion.

A pad assembly is provided for use with a protective sports helmet in a contact sport, the helmet having an opening. The pad assembly includes a pad member within a pad housing, and a retainer having a projection that fits within the helmet opening. The pad assembly also includes a cap detachably coupled to the retainer, the cap including a base portion that fits within the helmet opening and a flange portion that fits within a countersunk recess disposed around the helmet opening, the cap detachably receiving the projection of the retainer. A protective sports helmet having a pad assembly is also provided.

A system including a motorized base unit with a smart device mount for automatically orienting the smart device camera toward a moving target to track the moving target and take pictures or video. The target (e.g., a child playing soccer) wears a tracking tag comprising a GPS chip and transmitter packaged inside an athletic pad. The base unit includes a motorized mast for mounting a smart device. The base unit receives the transmitted GPS data, calculates updated pointing angle and angular velocity for the smart phone based on update location information from the remote tag sensor, calculates the correct angle that the smart phone should be pointed at, translates the new pointing directions to a control signal that turns the mast, which in turn causes the smart device camera to “follow” or track the target.
