Movement Card Sets for Building Coordinated Physical Sequences
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Athletes often struggle to combine various physical movements effectively during sports training, lacking clarity on the order in which to perform these movements to achieve a series of coordinated actions.
Innovation Solution
A card set comprising movement cards with specific indicators that facilitate the arrangement of physical movements, allowing athletes to intuitively combine cards to form a series of coordinated actions by aligning combination designation information indicators, thereby guiding the sequence of movements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If athletes perform individual physical movements separately, then each movement can be practiced, but the ability to combine movements into coordinated sequences cannot be developed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides a complex movement sequence into individual movement cards, each representing a specific physical movement. Athletes can practice each movement separately while also learning how to combine them. The cards are segmented with combination designation indicators that show how to link movements together, resolving the contradiction between practicing individual movements and learning to combine them.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces combination designation information indicators as intermediaries on the movement cards. These indicators act as mediators that guide athletes in combining individual movement cards into sequences. The indicators provide visual cues about which movements can be combined and in what order, making the combination process intuitive and easy to understand.
2Loss of information
If movement sequences are taught through verbal instruction alone, then coaches can explain the concepts, but athletes lack intuitive understanding of the sequence structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates physical card representations (copies) of movement sequences that athletes can manipulate directly. Instead of relying solely on verbal instruction, the cards provide a tangible copy of the movement structure that athletes can see, touch, and rearrange. This visual and tactile representation enhances understanding without requiring complex training materials.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to movement sequence learning by using physical cards that can be arranged in different positions and orientations. The combination designation indicators provide visual spatial cues about movement connections, transforming abstract verbal instructions into concrete spatial arrangements that are easier to comprehend.
3Productivity
If athletes attempt to learn all possible movement combinations, then comprehensive training coverage is achieved, but the learning process becomes overwhelming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-assigns combination designation information to each movement card during card creation. This preliminary action of organizing combination logic into the cards themselves eliminates the need for athletes to figure out combinations during training. The indicators are prepared in advance to show exactly how movements connect, making learning efficient and systematic rather than overwhelming.

AI summary
A card set includes movement cards. Each movement card includes a movement information indicator that indicates a specific physical movement. Each movement card includes a combination designation information indicator that designates another one of the movement cards that is combinable with the each of the movement cards. The movement cards are configured to generate specific information, indicating a series of physical movements, by being arranged such that adjacent ones of the combination designation information indicators have a specific correspondence relationship.
