Abstract
A computer-implemented athletic performance analysis method includes obtaining, at a computer system, first motion data generated by a test subject moving a test ball containing motion sensors through a predetermined exercise; analyzing in the first motion data, with the computer system, the data from the inertial sensors; and providing to a remote computer at a location of the subject a report regarding the first motion data, the report reflecting a comparison of the first motion data with corresponding motion data of other users who have performed the predetermined exercise.
Claims19
A computer-implemented athletic performance analysis method, comprising:
- obtaining, at a computer system, first motion data generated by a test subject moving a test ball containing motion sensors through a predetermined exercise;
- analyzing in the first motion data, with the computer system, the data from the motion sensors;
- and
- providing to a remote computer at a location of the subject a report regarding the first motion data, the report reflecting a comparison of the first motion data with corresponding motion data of other users who have performed the predetermined exercise,
- wherein the predetermined exercise comprises repeatedly performing a common motion, and the report reflects the subject's stamina during repeated performance of the common motion as compared to other test subjects.
A computer-implemented athletic performance analysis method, comprising:
- obtaining, at a computer system, first motion data generated by a test subject moving a test ball containing motion sensors through a predetermined exercise;
- analyzing in the first motion data, with the computer system, the data from the motion sensors;
- and
- providing to a remote computer at a location of the subject a report regarding the first motion data, the report reflecting a comparison of the first motion data with corresponding motion data of other users who have performed the predetermined exercise,
- wherein the predetermined exercise comprises throwing a ball in the air, and analysis of the data comprises analyzing flight time of the ball and time in hand time of the ball.
A computer-implemented method of capturing data indicative of athletic performance, comprising:
- creating an event in a computer system;
- assigning a package of athletic drills to the event;
- registering an athlete with the computer system;
- correlating the athlete to the event;
- receiving data generated by motion sensors that are attached to the athlete or an object manipulated by the athlete during execution of the package of athletic drills;
- testing authenticity of the received data by comparing an identifier that is received with the received data to an identifier that is associated with the event;
- processing the received data to generate summary information that is descriptive of the athlete's performance;
- and
- making the summary information available over a network for review to users of the computer system who are authorized to see information about the athlete.
