Systems and methods for time-based athletic activity measurement and display
An athletic parameter measurement device worn by an athlete during an athletic activity session includes a housing which attaches to the athlete, a display, a processor associated with the display, and an athletic parameter measurement sensor. During the athletic activity, the device detects, using the sensor, a vertical jump height of the athlete, and displays, during the performance of the athletic activity session, a representation of the vertical jump height on the display.
1. An athletic parameter measurement device configured to be worn by an athlete comprising:
a housing having an attachment mechanism configured to be attached to the athlete during an athletic activity session;
a display;
a processor; and
at least one athletic parameter measurement sensor,
wherein the athletic parameter measurement device is configured to:
detect athletic data of the athlete during the athletic activity session while the housing is worn by the athlete;
receive, by the processor, video data of the athlete during the athletic activity session, wherein recording of the video data is triggered by detection of an electronic tag in an item of apparel worn by the athlete;
calculate, by the processor, at least one metric of the athlete using the detected athletic data and the received video data, wherein the at least one metric includes a balance metric of the athlete; and
display, by the processor on the display, during performance of the athletic activity session, a representation of the at least one metric, wherein the at least one metric is recorded with the video data as an overlaid graphic that is displayed during playback of the video data.
2. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 1 , wherein the representation of the at least one metric is displayed in real time.
3. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one athletic parameter measurement sensor includes an accelerometer.
4. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 3 , wherein the accelerometer is a piezoelectric accelerometer.
5. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 1 , wherein the athletic parameter device is further configured to:
associate an identification of the athlete with the athletic parameter measurement device; and
transmit the at least one metric and the identification to a computing device remote from the athletic parameter measurement device.
6. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 5 , wherein the athletic parameter measurement device is further configured to transmit the at least one metric and the identification to the computing device via 2400 and 2483.5 MHz frequency signals.
7. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 5 , wherein the athletic parameter measurement device is further configured to transmit the at least one metric and the identification to the computing device in real-time.
8. A method comprising:
detecting, by at least one athletic parameter sensor, athletic data of the athlete during an athletic activity session while the sensor is worn by the athlete;
receiving, by a processor of an athletic parameter measurement device, video data of the athlete during the athletic activity session, wherein recording of the video data is triggered by detection of an electronic tag in an item of apparel worn by the athlete;
calculating, by the processor, at least one metric of the athlete using the detected athletic data and the received video data, wherein the at least one metric includes a balance metric of the athlete; and
display, by the processor on the display, during performance of the athletic activity session, a representation of the at least one metric, wherein the at least one metric is recorded with the video data as an overlaid graphic that is displayed during playback of the video data.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the athletic parameter sensor includes a force sensor.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the athletic parameter sensor includes an accelerometer.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the representation of the at least one metric is displayed in real time.
12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
associating an identification of the athlete with the athletic parameter measurement device; and
transmitting the at least one metric and the identification to a computing device remote from the athletic parameter measurement device.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the athletic parameter measurement device is further configured to transmit the at least one metric and the identification to the computing device in real-time.
14. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 1 , wherein the overlaid graphic is animated during playback of the video data.
15. The method of claim 8 , wherein the overlaid graphic is animated during playback of the video data.
