  • Patent number: 10521526
    Abstract: Exemplary systems, apparatus, and methods for evaluating and predicting athletic performance are described. Systems may include a receiver that gathers non-deterministic data on one or more aspects of athletic performance, a deterministic model of the athletic performance, a hybrid processor that creates a conditional probabilistic model from these elements, and a display presenting the evaluated or predicted performance. The system may include sensors affixed to an athlete or their equipment to convey position, acceleration, heart rate, respiration, biomechanical attributes, and detached sensors to record video, audio, and other ambient conditions. Apparatus may include a hybridization processor that communicates the output of conditional probabilistic models directly to athletes, coaches, and trainers using sound, light, or haptic signals, or to spectators using audiovisual enhancements to broadcasts.
