Embodiment Construction

[0045]FIG. 1 discloses a sport movement analyzer and trainer 100 for detecting, analyzing, correcting, training and recreating sport movements of a user 102 in real time. The device is applicable to swing movements involving a club, bracket, bat and the like. In addition, since the device is mounted on athlete it is applicable to other sports movements like punching, kicking, bowling, throwing / kicking ball / javelin / discus, etc. As shown, the user is swinging a golf club 104. The movement of the golf club is represented by a swing path 106 having a backswing 108 and a downswing 110 with swing positions along the path for monitoring and measuring of the club at the different positions. The swing positions in the backswing include an address / impact point 112; a one-quarter back swing point 114, a one-half back swing point 116 and a top point 118 of the swing path. After a pause at the top point, the downswing follows the back swing passing through the swing positions 116, 114, now repre...

Abstract

A sport movement analyzer and training device and method, in real time, detect, analyze, correct and re-create sport movements of a user. An analyzer is secured to a user's wrist engaged in sport movements. A sensing unit in the analyzer provides signals representative of the movement of the wrist at various swing positions along a swing path during a sport movement. A processor in the analyzer processes the signals to measure various parameters descriptive of a sport performance of the user at the swing positions along the swing path. Stored programs in the analyzer service the processor in processing the signals representative of the sport performance for display to the user. A history of past sport performances by the user is stored for comparison purposes with current sport performances.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The present invention relates to sport movement analysis and training. More particularly, the invention relates to a sport movement analyzer and training device for detecting, analyzing, correcting, training and re-creating sport movements involving swinging a club, racket, bat, etc. [0003] In events where an athlete moves fast and high accuracy of performance is necessary, it is of interest to be able to measure how much time it takes for an athlete to perform the phases of a movement, e.g. swing a golf club, tennis racket, baseball bat, etc. . . . The athletes practice so that they can accurately repeat the movements again and again. Consistent timing of performance is a corner stone for the repeatability. Muscle memory is the key point in several sports. When a user has done several repetitions of desired action, muscles start to remember this action and after that it is much easier to repeat in different situations. Onc...
