Multi-mode acceleration-based athleticism measurement system
A multi-mode athleticism movement measurement system includes an athlete-borne acceleration sensor and an athleticism processing device to determine athleticism information based upon one or more timing measurements from the athlete-borne acceleration sensor, the athleticism information corresponding to any of multiple athleticism measurement modes available on athleticism processing device and selectable by a user. A data link between the athlete-borne acceleration sensor and the athleticism rating processing device transmits the one or more timing measurements from the athlete-borne acceleration sensor to the athleticism rating processing device.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
track movement data received from a sensor associated with a user, wherein the movement data includes an average contact time for a foot of the user;
compare the movement data to a predetermined performance criterion; and
electronically transmit a guide for improving a running movement efficiency of the user based on comparing the movement data to the predetermined performance criterion, wherein the guide is calculated by analyzing first acceleration data associated with a wrist of the user and second acceleration data associated with a foot of the user to characterize direction of arm movement during running relative to running stride information.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes a foot contact time threshold that satisfies a fast feet criterion.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes an accuracy threshold of the movement data.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes a quantity threshold of the movement data.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the guide comprises feedback electronically transmitted in real-time.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the guide includes recommendations based on comparing the movement data to the predetermined performance criterion.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes one or more cues for performing an action.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus further comprises at least one wrist worn sensor.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
track movement data received from a sensor associated with a user, wherein the movement data includes an average contact time for a foot of the user;
compare the movement data to a predetermined performance criterion; and
electronically transmit a guide for improving a running movement efficiency of the user based on comparing the movement data to the predetermined performance criterion, wherein the guide is calculated by analyzing first acceleration data associated with a wrist of the user and second acceleration data associated with a foot of the user to characterize direction of arm movement during running relative to running stride information.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes a foot contact time threshold that satisfies a fast feet criterion.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes an accuracy threshold of a user's movement.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes a quantity threshold of a user's movement.
13. A method comprising:
tracking movement data received from a sensor associated with a user, wherein the movement data includes an average contact time for a foot of the user;
comparing the movement data to a predetermined performance criterion; and
electronically transmitting a guide for improving a running movement efficiency of the user based on comparing the movement data to the predetermined performance criterion, wherein the guide is calculated by analyzing first acceleration data associated with a wrist of the user and second acceleration data associated with a foot of the user to characterize direction of arm movement during running relative to running stride information.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes a foot contact time threshold that satisfies a fast feet criterion.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes an accuracy threshold of the movement data.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes a quantity threshold of the movement data.
17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the guide comprises feedback electronically transmitted in real-time.
18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the guide includes recommendations based on comparing the movement data to the predetermined performance criterion.
19. The method of claim 13 , wherein the predetermined performance criterion includes one or more cues for performing an action.
