Abstract

The present invention relates to a sport stick that measures the driving force generated by the upper body, which is applied to the ground through poles during the natural performance of nordic walking or any other sport, where poles are used to drive/propel the body forward. An inclination sensor along with a pole length sensor (pole length constant in a fixed length pole) has been placed into the pole for the achievement of the most suitable biomechanical performance, i.e. proper technique. The sport pole uses the Global Positioning System along with a topographical map to ensure that the slope of terrain does not affect the inclination sensor measurements. All collected data is analyzed by a control center, wherein correct usage models have been saved along with a collection of the user's anthropometric and fitness levels.

Dependent claims

Sport pole (1) with sensors comprising an inclination sensor (6) and a force sensor (8) which is communicate with a control center (2), in said control center (2) is saved an information of sports' technique and executions using for said sport pole (1) for analysing optimal sports' technique, using data for inclination sensor (6) and force sensor (8);

a signal light (3 and 4) is communicate with an user, where said control center (2), said inclination sensor (6), said force sensor 8 and said signal lights (3 and 4) are a battery (5) powered, characterized in that said sport pole (1) comprising a GPS receiver (9) with a topographical maps for determine sport pole (1) real angle of inclination for ground;
an length sensor (7) and an user information (10) saved in control center (2) wherein all data received with control center (2) and which basis is determined the optimal length and force for sport pole (1) user.
