System and Method for Analyzing Athletic Activity

A system for analyzing athletic activity, comprising:

• an article of apparel including a sensor system comprising a plurality of sensors engaged with the article of apparel and configured to sense a biomechanical parameter of a user while the user is in biomechanical movement;
• a GPS module configured for detecting a position of the user;
• and
• an electronic device in communication with the sensor system and with the GPS module, the electronic device configured to perform:
• receiving data generated by the sensor system;
• comparing the data to a biomechanical movement template corresponding to a desired biomechanical movement pattern to determine whether a deviation from the biomechanical movement template exists;
• receiving a position of the user from the GPS module;
• receiving terrain information related to the position;
• and
• altering the biomechanical movement template based on the terrain information, to use an altered biomechanical movement template corresponding to an altered biomechanical movement pattern.

A computer-assisted method for analyzing athletic activity, comprising:

• receiving data, at a processor of an electronic device, from a sensor system engaged with an article of apparel, the sensor system comprising a plurality of sensors engaged with the article of apparel and configured to sense a biomechanical parameter of a user while the user is in biomechanical movement;
• comparing the data to a biomechanical movement template stored in a memory of the electronic device, by the processor, the biomechanical movement template corresponding to a desired biomechanical movement pattern, to determine whether a deviation from the biomechanical movement template exists;
• receiving a position of the user, by the processor, from a GPS module;
• receiving terrain information related to the position, by the processor;
• and
• altering the biomechanical movement template, by the processor, based on the terrain information, to use an altered biomechanical movement template corresponding to an altered biomechanical movement pattern.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions configured to cause an electronic device to perform:

• receiving data from a sensor system engaged with an article of apparel, the sensor system comprising a plurality of sensors engaged with the article of apparel and configured to sense a biomechanical parameter of a user while the user is in biomechanical movement;
• comparing the data to a biomechanical movement template stored in a memory of the electronic device, the biomechanical movement template corresponding to a desired biomechanical movement pattern, to determine whether a deviation from the biomechanical movement template exists;
• receiving a position of the user from a GPS module;
• receiving terrain information related to the position;
• and
• altering the biomechanical movement template based on the terrain information, to use an altered biomechanical movement template corresponding to an altered biomechanical movement pattern.
