1. A method for assessing physical performance of a user with a weighted exercise implement, the method comprising:
wirelessly receiving, at a wireless electronic device, first performance data sensed by a sensor coupled to the weighted exercise implement when a user performs a movement with the weighted exercise implement, the sensor including one or more of an accelerometer, a magnetometer, and a gyroscope; the weighted exercise implement further including therein at least a wireless transmitter for sending the first performance data to the wireless electronic device, and a rechargeable power source, wherein the first performance data includes acceleration, rate of rotation, force, power, direction, and angle of motion, for both a concentric phase and an eccentric phase of the user's movement; wherein the weighted exercise implement is a weighted medicine ball; analyzing, at a first processor, the first performance data to determine one or more of an accuracy of the user's movement and a smoothness of the user's movement; wherein the accuracy of the user's movement is determined by comparing an actual path of the user's movement to an ideal path of the user's movement, and wherein the smoothness of the user's movement is determined by comparing an actual smoothness of the user's movement to an ideal smoothness of the user's movement; generating feedback based on the determined one or more of the accuracy of the user's movement and the smoothness of the user's movement by making a recommendation to the user regarding a subsequent movement; and displaying the generated feedback on a display of the wireless electronic device. |
