Abstract
A method for training a runner to reduce variation in a runner's step length while the runner runs is described herein, including positioning at least three markers, wherein a first marker is about a first distance from a second marker, the second marker is about the first distance from a third marker, and the second marker is about the first distance from the first and third markers, and instructing a runner to run and step on or near the markers while running.
Claims20
A method for training a runner comprising the step of:
- positioning at least three markers,
- wherein a first marker is a first distance from a second marker, the second marker is a second distance from a third marker;
- and
- instructing a runner to run and step on or near the markers while running.
A method for training a runner to reduce energy output comprising the steps of:
- providing a monitoring device comprising:
- at least one accelerometer;
- at least one power source;
- at least one processor;
- at least one conducting wire, wherein the at least one conducting wire is connected to the accelerometer, wherein the at least one processor receives data from the at least one accelerometer;
- and
- processing data from the accelerometer to determine at least one of the following:
- step length, step time, step to step momentum change, and step to step velocity change.
A monitoring device comprising:
- at least accelerometer;
- at least one processor;
- at least one power source;
- and
- at least one conducting wire, wherein the at least one conducting wire is connected to the accelerometer, wherein the at least one processor receives data from the at least one accelerometer.
