Abstract:
1. A method for providing data for use in displaying visual feedback for improving postural control and balance during a golf swing, comprising: electronically receiving with one or more computing devices data collected from one or more sensors worn on a body of a person; determining, with the one or more computing devices, one or more center of mass positions of the person based on the data collected from the one or more sensors, the data reflecting movement and position of the person while performing a golf swing; generating first visual display data corresponding to a first visual indication reflecting said one or more determined center of mass positions; generating second visual display data corresponding to a second visual indication reflecting a target center of mass position for the person that has been determined to contribute to a desired performance of the golf swing; and providing the first and second visual display data for use in displaying the first and second visual indications to the person, wherein the first and second visual indications enable the person to determine a difference between (1) at least said one or more center of mass positions of the person while performing the golf swing reflected by the first visual indication and (2) the target center of mass position reflected by the second visual indication, such that the person can improve golf swing performance by reducing said difference, and wherein said one or more sensors comprise at least one of: an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer.
