  • Patent number: 11731022
    Abstract: A portable kicking target for shin conditioning during martial arts training, particularly muai thai. The target may be attached to a conventional punching bag to provide target areas of varying hardness, such that, over time, trainee shin bones and the shin area of the legs are conditioned and strengthened. The target comprises a radially spaced-apart pair of impact pockets that are to be repeatedly kicked. Each impact pocket houses a plurality of elongated, generally parallel, plastic impact tubes. One pocket has a plurality of soft tubes, and the other houses a plurality of harder tubes. The kicker's shins are strengthened over time by repeated contact with the impact pockets. Training starts with the softer impact tubes. After the trainee's shins strengthen, the trainee may increase impact force by switching to the harder impact tubes, and eventually micro fractures will develop as conditioning peaks.

    Abstract: A method determines running phases of a user on a treadmill having first and second rotating elements rotating about respective rotational axes transverse to a longitudinal axis of the treadmill. A physical exercise surface connects to the rotating elements. An electric motor operatively associated with one rotating element rotates the rotating elements and the physical exercise surface. A processor connects to the electric motor and controls the electric motor. The processor determines a magnitude variable over time, which is correlated to user interaction with the exercise surface while exercising and has a periodic trend. The processor determines time instants of at least two points of the periodic trend. The time instants of each point representing instants of user interaction with the exercise surface. The processor determines a running phase of the user on the exercise surface as a function of the respective time instants of the periodic trend.

  • Patent number: 11468388
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for users of electronic devices to issue physical activity goal challenges and rewards to one another. In one example, a first user can provide a physical activity goal that is to be performed by a second user. The first user can further provide a reward that is to be given to the second user in response to the second user completing the physical activity goal. An electronic device associated with the second user can be used to detect physical activity performed by the second user and to determine whether the second user has completed the physical activity goal. In response to determining that the second user has completed the physical activity goal, the reward can be issued to the second user. The reward can include an image, video, song, electronic message, amount of virtual currency, access to a service, or the like.

  • Patent number: 11455909
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for using sensor devices to detect and monitor movement of a body. The sensor devices may be coupled to a body in a predefined arrangement, where a sensor device is positioned on a particular portion of the body in accordance with the predefined arrangement. The sensor devices measure a position of the portion of the body to which the band is secured during movement and communicate the position to a client device to be used in generating and updating a graphical representation of the movement performed in near-real-time. Further, the client device may determine whether the movement performed conforms to an ideal movement and, in response to the movement not conforming to the predefined movement, a suggested change in the movement can be identified that, if performed, would conform to the ideal movement.

    Abstract: A training system operates to provide an online training system that includes an instructional portion, a performance portion and a results report. A trainer can create training modules and/or training programs and then launch a training program in which one or more users, utilizing a user system, can participate. A training program consists of one or more training modules. Each training module is configured to first run in a demonstration mode, in which the operator streams a demonstration of the physical activity required by the training module to one or more user systems. Users can thus view the demonstration of the physical activity on the user systems. The training module then enters a trial or trial mode in which each of the participants then engage in performing the physical activity. The user systems present a video/graphical display to show various performance criteria of the training module.
