Abstract

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.

Claims (40)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, from a sensor, athletic data of a first user associated with an athletic activity;

displaying a video of a second user performing the athletic activity, wherein the video includes activity information;

associating a first timeline of the athletic data of the first user with a second timeline of the activity information of the second user; and

during performance of the athletic activity by the first user, displaying a representation of a comparison of the first timeline and the second time line.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activity information corresponds to a completed athletic activity.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the video of the completed athletic activity by the second user comprises a celebrity video completing the athletic activity.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the video of the completed athletic activity by the second user comprises an instructor video completing the athletic activity.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the video of the completed athletic activity by the second user comprises a stored video of the first user completing the athletic activity at an earlier point in time.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising calculating at least one metric of the first user using the athletic data.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one metric is outputted for display in real time.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one metric includes a speed of the first user.

9. An athletic parameter measurement device comprising:

a display device;

a processor;

at least one athletic measurement sensor;

memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the athletic parameter measurement device to:

receive, from the at least one athletic measurement sensor, athletic data of a first user associated with an athletic activity;

display, via the display device, a video of a second user performing the athletic activity, wherein the video includes activity information;

associate a first timeline of the athletic data of the first user with a second timeline of the activity information of the second user; and

during performance of the athletic activity by the first user, display, via the display device, a representation of a comparison of the first timeline and the second time line.

10. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 9 , wherein the activity information corresponds to a completed athletic activity.

11. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 10 , wherein the video of the completed athletic activity by the second user comprises a celebrity video completing the athletic activity.

12. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 10 , wherein the video of the completed athletic activity by the second user comprises an instructor video completing the athletic activity.

13. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 10 , wherein the video of the completed athletic activity by the second user comprises a stored video of the first user completing the athletic activity at an earlier point in time.

14. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the athletic parameter measurement device to calculate at least one metric of the first user using the athletic data.

15. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one metric is outputted for display in real time.

16. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one metric includes a speed of the first user.

17. The athletic parameter measurement device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one metric includes a distance traveled by the first user.

18. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:

receive, from a sensor, athletic data of a first user associated with an athletic activity;

display a video of a second user performing the athletic activity, wherein the video includes activity information;

associate a first timeline of the athletic data of the first user with a second timeline of the activity information of the second user; and

during performance of the athletic activity by the first user, display a representation of a comparison of the first timeline and the second time line.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 18 , wherein activity data corresponds to a completed activity session.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a celebrity video completing the activity session.

21. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises an instructor video completing the activity session.

22. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 19 , wherein the stored video of the completed activity session by the second user comprises a friend video completing the activity session.

23. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 18 , further comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to calculate at least one metric of the first user using the received athletic data.

24. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 23 , wherein the calculated at least one metric is displayed in real time.
