SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING ATHLETIC ACTIVITY

摘要

A system for analyzing athletic activity is usable with an article of footwear including a sensor system with a plurality of force sensors configured to sense force exerted by a user's foot, an electronic module contained within the article of footwear, and a plurality of sensor leads connecting the sensors to the electronic module, wherein the electronic module collects data based on force input from the sensors and transmits the data. The system also includes an electronic device in communication with the electronic module. The electronic device includes a processor that receives the data from the electronic module, compares the data to a footstrike template corresponding to a desired footstrike pattern to determine whether a deviation from the footstrike template exists, and generates an indication to the user when the deviation from the desired footstrike pattern is determined to exist, which may also include a degree of such deviation.

主权项

1. A system for analyzing athletic activity, comprising:
an article of footwear including a sensor system comprising a plurality of force sensors engaged with the article of footwear and configured to sense force exerted by a foot of a user, an electronic module contained within the article of footwear, and a plurality of sensor leads connecting the sensors to the electronic module, wherein the electronic module is configured for collecting data based on force input from the sensors and for transmitting the data; and an electronic device in communication with the electronic module, wherein the electronic device includes a processor configured to perform:
receiving the data from the electronic module;comparing the data to a footstrike template corresponding to a desired footstrike pattern to determine whether a deviation from the footstrike template exists;generating an indication to the user when the deviation from the desired footstrike pattern is determined to exist, wherein the indication further includes a degree of deviation from the footstrike template.
