Detailed description of examples In order to explain the invention, two examples of its application are shown. For convenience, these responses Examples are "sports-sync" and "sports-synch", respectively. It is called Sports Pacer J. One sport Training equipment can be designed to be suitable for use in both applications It is. On the other hand, it is also possible to design separate devices for each application. be.

Sports thinking is mainly about hitting golf balls and cricket balls. It is intended for what can be described as discrete activities such as like this Activities accurately signal the onset and duration of various physical movements to the sportsperson. It could be even more accurate if it were released. By the way, these two activities are part of the sports program. The self-sufficient, internally triggered actions that occur in golf and the Flexibility to control both actions with external timing needs It shows that you have the strength.

The ideal golf swing involves synchronized movement of multiple parts of the body. series of Signal patterns are based on the analysis of golf swings using human and machine models. put. to a series of different auditory pulses that indicate the onset of movement in different parts of the body. Therefore, synchronicity is conveyed to the golfer. Preferably, all sequences are For example, in short synchronized tone bursts twice per second. So let's start. This audio burst acts as a starting signal and is at the golfer's discretion. can be triggered by Golfers know which sounds can help them move specific parts of their bodies. Find out if there is one and execute the sequence at the specified timing. Therefore, golf Learn to maintain consistency in timing.

Sports thinking is also applied to Krickerato's batting stroke. It will be done. Effective stroke play in krikerato consists of multiple strokes in short time intervals. including the determination of According to Sports Think, the batter is , you can practice the timing of certain shots. shot timing ・Sequences are based on ideal models or non-ideal models due to physical proportions. In some cases, such as in the case of young boys who cannot be treated, it is based on individual models.

(e.g., Bootsma and Wieringen, 1988)) According to the analysis of ball hitting, external triggers for ball hitting is -throughout, related to the distance between the ball and the eye. For this purpose, Crikeratoshot The start of the timing signal generated by the sports sync for Rather than using a traditional bowling machine, it is an analysis of actual professional play. Based on analysis, therefore, unlike Sports Think for golf, The device for triggering is externally triggered. However, as in the case of golf, Sports thinking for Rikerato suggests exercise of certain parts of the body Generates sound. The batter learns which sounds refer to specific body parts.

The batter then makes the shot, first without a pole and then ideally with a pitching machine. practice. Each shot is preferably marked by a different audio sequence. The start of each shot is identified by a separate start signal. pitching machine The advantage is that the throwing machine is designed to throw the pole at a fixed distance and speed. It is said that a batter can practice a certain shot over and over again. At the point. In this case the timing sequence is preferably e.g. It is initiated remotely from the pitching machine by transmission over the line. In the case of a human pitcher The timing sequence for the shot is 3rd like coach for example can be initiated remotely by a person. Therefore, the timing of each voice is determined using the model. are programmed in advance so that a sequence of activities is Can be triggered entirely by one input. This one input trigger is a manual or by a remote signal from another device, such as a pitching machine. Sports Tools Sync can also be reprogrammed by the user to suit each individual. Various features of the overall operation can be changed to

Sports thinking includes things like high jumping, pitching a cricket ball, batting, etc. It can also be used in other activities where precise movement is particularly required, including precise timing requirements. Wear. All of these activities are sequences of events that must be created and initiated separately. involved.

Sports pacers, on the other hand, are measured repetitions such as those that occur in running or swimming. intended for physical exercise timing. The fundamental purpose of this device is to Synchronized with mode (e.g. running pace or swimming stroke) By providing an auditory signal, pace characteristics can be immediately converted into speed measurements. It is to become capable. Therefore, a sports pacer is a speed control for athletes. Functions as a meter. The accuracy of this speedometer function is Depends on the measurements of the particular athlete and therefore the pace or strokes per distance can be converted into pulses per unit time. Given this information, the athlete - for an athlete or for an entire race, who does not constantly check his or her watch Training regimes can be programmed.

Preferably, the device is sufficiently flexible that athletes and coaches can By referring to the change in distance traveled in response to changes in the slope of the running terrain. , it is possible to correct for changes in topography. Therefore, a race like a marathon The base can be programmed from start to finish. The athlete is Since you are fully aware of your speed throughout the race, you can Therefore, the pace can be set in advance.

Athletes can also use this sport pacer to keep track of their performance during each phase of the race. It is possible to race at different speeds while knowing exactly the speed of the You can try different strategies.

This outfit is different from previous examples! One example of the application of this is the run-a This is to help synchronize the apps. A pitcher who throws a fastball (fast b.

Wler) especially requires accurate rhythm when pitching. sports pacer - each step of the run-up and the ball by giving a series of pulses. Allows you to pace the next arm movement leading up to the pitch.

A sports pacer needs to be more flexible than a sports sink. Ru. This device can be used, for example, on a suitable race that can be used as a model.
