Claim Text:
1. A method for analyzing an athletic performance, comprising: receiving foot launch input data, from a foot sensor system, relating to a plurality of right foot launch events and a plurality of left foot launch events, wherein the foot launch input data includes at least a timestamp associated with each foot launch event indicating a time that a respective right foot launch event or a left foot launch event occurred; receiving foot strike input data, from the foot sensor system, relating to a plurality of right foot strike events and a plurality of left foot strike events, wherein the foot strike input data includes at least a timestamp associated with each foot strike event indicating a time that a respective right foot strike event or a left foot strike event occurred; sorting a plurality of timestamps associated with each foot launch event and foot strike event based on a predetermined criteria; identifying a first set of timestamps in the plurality of timestamps, wherein the first set of timestamps includes temporally adjacent right foot launch, left foot launch, right foot strike, and left foot strike events; determining a first flight time associated with the first set of timestamps, wherein the first flight time is based at least in part on a first time duration included by the first set of timestamps when both the left foot and the right foot are simultaneously not in contact with a surface; receiving, from a first image-capturing device, video data corresponding to the temporally adjacent right foot launch, left foot launch, right foot strike, and left foot strike events; modifying the determined first flight time associated with the first set of timestamps based on the received video data; and validating the modified first flight time based at least in part on the first set of timestamps and the received video data.
