Abstract
An athletic pace signaling system includes a plurality of light generating modules and a control assembly in communication with the plurality of light generating modules. The control assembly includes a control circuit configured to store a predetermined pace and to cooperatively control the plurality of light generating modules such that each module projects a light associated with a training pace.
Claims20
An athletic signaling system comprising:
- a plurality of light generating modules;
- and
- a control assembly in communication with the plurality of light generating modules, the control assembly including a control circuit configured to store a predetermined pace and to cooperatively control the plurality of light generating modules such that each module projects a light associated with a training pace.
An athletic pace signaling system comprising:
- a plurality of light generating modules, each light generating module including
- a housing,
- a support member extending from the housing,
- an arm pivotally coupled to the support member and defining a cavity having an opening, and
- a light generating source positioned to project a light through the opening;
- and
- a control unit couplable to the plurality of light generating modules, the control unit including
- a controller coupled to memory,
- a communication interface in communication with the memory, and
- a user interface in communication with the controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to store a predetermined pace and to cooperatively control the plurality of light generating modules to sequentially generate light representative of the predetermined pace.
A method of indicating a training parameter to an individual training for athletic or recreational events, the method including:
- storing the training parameter within the memory of a controller couplable to a plurality of separable light generating modules;
- and
- selectively activating the plurality of light generating modules to represent the training parameter, wherein the activating projects a light to a surface viewable by the individual.
A method of assisting a swimmer with pool training, the method including:
- receiving a predetermined swimming pace within memory of a controller, the controller couplable to a plurality of light generating modules positioned adjacent the edge of the pool;
- signaling the plurality of light generating modules to sequentially operate based on the predetermined pace;
- and
- generating a plurality of images in response to the signaling, the images directed to a bottom surface of the pool.
