APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRAINING WITH BIOFEEDBACK

摘要

Devices and methods for the assessment and biofeedback training of coordination skills of a subject critical to maximizing the power and accuracy of athletic ball-strike activities. In preferred embodiments, the invention provides for assessment and biofeedback training of weight bearing and center of gravity control under conditions requiring the athlete to strike a ball such that the distance and direction of flight trajectory of the ball are accurate relative to a performance goal. One embodiment of the invention includes a body movement sensor (11), a ball strike sensor (12), a display (14), and a computer (13). The body movement sensor (11) provides an output indicative of the motion of the subject's body (15) over a period of time including the moment of ball strike. The computer (13) causes the display (14) to show both a trajectory of the motion of the subject's body (15) and the moment of ball strike in relation to a region of the trajectory.
