A system, method, and computer-readable media collect and analyze the physical performance of an individual and structure and generate an athletic protocol. Athletic assessment devices perform an athletic assessment of an individual, including kinetic, neurological, musculoskeletal and aerobic capacity. Athletic data is collected and stored in a digital data storage medium of a computer system having a display, and a central processing unit (CPU) operable with programming executes one or more analytical algorithms to assess injury risk levels of said individual based on said athletic data. Data mining algorithms using artificial intelligence are used to execute predictive modeling and analytics. The resultant athletic protocol includes information to correct imbalances to treat and/or prevent injuries, corrective exercises, performance training exercises, and protocols to maximize physical performance.

Methods and systems are provided for placing or moving a virtual menu (e.g., virtual object) to an adjusted virtual position within a virtual reality scene based on the ability of a user. The method includes capturing, by a computing system, head mounted display (HMD) gameplay by a user of a video game being executed on the computing system. The HMD presents virtual reality scene to the user. The method includes monitoring, by the computing system, physical actions of the user while the user is wearing the HMD and interacting with the virtual reality scene during the gameplay. The method includes identifying, by the computing system, an attempt by the user to make an input at a virtual object in the virtual reality scene based on the physical actions. The method includes generating, by the computing system, a movement of the virtual object from an initial virtual position in the virtual reality scene to an adjusted virtual position in the virtual reality scene. The movement has a virtual distance and a virtual direction that is predicted for the user based a model of interactivity of the user to enable said input with the virtual object. In this way, a virtual menu (e.g., virtual object) is dynamically placed or moved to a virtual position in the virtual reality scene that can be accessible by the user.

A fish hook removal apparatus includes a shaft having opposed end portions. One end portion defines a hook for fitting into a fish's mouth. Such a hook is engageable with a fish hook. The shaft enables a user to remove a hook from fish. A grip is positioned about another end portion. Such a grip includes indentations spaced along a length of the grip allowing for a firm grasp. A clevis is attached to the shaft and situated proximate to the grip. A handle includes body and rod portions. Such a rod portion has opposed end portions. The body portion is positioned about one end of the rod extending from the body. The handle is abutted against the shaft in such a manner that rotation of the handle causes the hook to twist about a fishing hook lodged within the fish's mouth, thereby dislodging the fishing hook.
