  • Systems and methods of measuring and evaluating performance of a physical skill and equipment used to perform the physical skill
    Publication number: 20050196737
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing an individual performance data model of a person, such as a student, performing a physical skill or task. The individual performance data model is derived from an elite or superior performance data model determined from a number of elite or superior performances of the skill or task. In particular, the elite or superior performance model is sized or scaled to the student's body dimensions to produce a customized individual performance data model of the student's ideal or superior performance of the skill. The individual performance data model is used in teaching processes to identify and correct the student's performance errors. Embodiments of the invention modify the individual performance data model of the student to incorporate significant body movement trends exhibited by elite or superior performers that are related to body segment size.
