Abstract:
1. A system for gathering body movement data related to sports activities, the system comprising: a first sensor associated with a first body portion, the first sensor being configured for sensing movement of the first body portion during a sports activity, which involves movement of the first body portion within a first range of speeds; a second sensor associated with a second body portion, the second sensor being configured for sensing movement of the second body portion during the same sports activity, which involves movement of the second body portion within a second range of speeds, wherein an average of the second range of speeds is greater than an average of the first range of speeds; a third sensor associated with a third body portion, the third sensor being configured for sensing movement of the third body portion during the same sports activity, which involves movement of the third body portion within a third range of speeds, wherein an average of the third range of speeds is greater than the average of the second range of speeds; a control unit configured to receive data from at least the first, second and third sensors; and a processor configured to communicate with the control unit and generate information related to the first sensor, the second sensor and the third sensor; wherein the first sensor is selectively configured to sense body movement at a first sampling rate range, the second sensor is selectively configured to sense body movement at a second sampling rate range, the third sensor is selectively configured to sense body movement at a third sampling rate range, the second sampling rate range is faster than the first sampling rate range such that the movement of the second body portion is recorded with more data samples than the movement of the first body portion during a time period, and the third sampling rate range is faster than the second sampling rate range such that the movement of the third body portion is recorded with more data samples than the movement of the second body portion during the time period.
