Description

The invention relates to physical education and sports, and is intended for the training of athletes, assessment of their visual, cognitive and motor abilities. It can be used in physiological, medical, psychological science and practice, as well as in the creation of game and training complexes.

In aviation, rocket and space technology, as well as in the navy, complex integrated automatic traffic control systems are widely used. Known systems for automatic control of an aircraft (LA), including, as sensitive elements, orientation, navigation and gyroscopic devices for controlling radar, telemetry, optical and thermal guidance devices; these instruments and devices during the guidance process also generate signals for automatic control of the aircraft. In this case, the basic elements are gyroscopic stabilizers and devices.

The accessible literature sets out in detail the basic principles for constructing gyrostabilizers for various purposes and gyroscopic orientation systems, as well as an analysis of their dynamic errors [1].

Miniature laser light sources, laser pointers and various projection systems of small dimensions and weight are known from the state of the art [2].

Also known are light drones with remote radio control. Various technological equipment is installed on the drones, including video cameras and lighting devices [3].

However, in a known form, drones are not intended for sports training and testing athletes.

A known method of interactive training of one or more players in the dynamic zones according to patent WO 2003/100568 A2 [4].

This complex is intended primarily for multimedia entertainment and the creation of aerobic exercises, which are formed by indicating the directions of movement of users with various sound and light signals.

The disadvantage of this method of training is its small functionality.

A known method of training players and athletes with a sports equipment on the playing field according to the patent RU 2444392 C1 [5], including the implementation of training on the field with controlled dynamic lighting, in which using dynamic lighting create controlled areas. The athlete must be in permitted areas while holding the sports equipment. At the same time, the position, shape and area of the allowed zones are unpredictably changed for the athlete, the change in the position of the shape and area of the allowed zones and training modes is set manually or by a hardware-software complex. If possible, the athlete to constantly be and keep the sports equipment in the permitted area is judged on the growth of the athlete’s sportsmanship and on the effectiveness of training. The basic principle of training with an optical encoding of the playing space disclosed in this patent is implemented later in a number of other known methods for training athletes using light emitters and video cameras installed at a given height above the sports field [6, 7, 8].

The disadvantage of each of these training methods is that they allow you to train an athlete and evaluate his skills only within the boundaries of specially equipped training fields with powerful, dimensional, permanently installed light emitters and video cameras. The disadvantage of these methods is the fact that external light emitters create shadow zones on the playing field from the athlete. However, in these methods, for safety reasons, the use of modern laser projection equipment is limited, which has several advantages, especially when creating light-dynamic zones in brightly lit training fields.

According to the patent [9], a method is known in which the above problems are solved. In this method, the athlete is not limited to the perimeter of a specially equipped sports ground. A predetermined number of light emitters forming light-dynamic zones are fixed on the athlete’s head and do not create direct radiation in the eyes of the athlete and his shadow zones. The hardware-software complex, fixed in full or in part on the athlete, includes a system of gyroscopic orientation of light emitters, which, depending on the turns, tilts and vertical movements of the athlete’s head, as well as his movements along the playing field during training, automatically corrects the position of the projections of the light-dynamic zones, maintaining their target location or movement specified by the selected workout program.

However, any additional equipment mounted on the athlete’s head creates a number of inconveniences, and personal light sources do not exclude direct contact with the eyes of a partner during group training.

The present invention improves the efficiency of training athletes, ensures its safety and the creation of dynamic zones for multivariate modeling of game situations in almost any external illumination of the training area. The invention allows to exclude the presence of shadow zones, linking the training of an athlete or a group of athletes to specially equipped sports fields and creates conditions that have a significant advantage over the known training methods.

The technical result, to which the claimed invention is directed, is to increase the efficiency of training athletes.

The technical result is achieved by training athletes on the playing field, where a software and hardware complex containing a video camera tracking the athlete’s movements, light emitters forming light dynamic zones, as well as a system for gyroscopic orientation of the emitters, play situations and training modes are simulated by zone transformation. Moreover, it is new that a given number of cameras and light emitters forming light-dynamic zones are mounted on a given number of drones flying over the playing field according to a given program at an altitude below the level of athletes' eyes. The hardware-software complex controls each drone containing a gyroscopic orientation system for cameras and light emitters, which, depending on the rotations, tilts and vertical movements of the drone, as well as its movements along the playing field according to a given program during training, automatically adjusts the position of the projections of the dynamic zones relative to Athlete, while maintaining their target location or movement specified by the selected workout program. The hardware-software complex automatically turns off the light emitters when the positions of the athlete’s head are lower than the flight altitude of the drone or when the projections of the emitters deviate beyond the specified tolerance range for their deviations. For sufficient contrast, images of projections of light emitters, they are superimposed or not superimposed on each other.

This is the totality of essential features that provides a technical result in all cases to which the requested amount of legal protection applies.

The proposed method of training athletes is as follows. Above the playing field, several drones are launched - radio-controlled flying vehicles. Each of the drones has a predetermined number of video cameras that monitor the athletes on the playing field, and controlled small-sized light sources that are part of the hardware-software complex. In this case, drones are designed to determine the location of athletes and the formation of dynamic zones on the playing field, with the help of which they multivariate model game situations and create special exercises for the development of technical and tactical skills of an athlete. To ensure safety during training and to exclude direct radiation into the athlete’s eyes when using laser or other powerful small-sized emitters, drones hang in the air at an altitude below the eye level of training people. The hardware-software complex, partially mounted on a drone (a powerful computer complex works remotely via a radio channel), includes software-related two main systems: a video surveillance system - determining the coordinates of an athlete on the playing field, and a control system for light-dynamic projections. The gyroscopic orientation system automatically detects rotations, tilts and vertical movements of the drone and adjusts the position of the cameras, as well as the location of the projections of the dynamic zones on the playing field, while maintaining their target location or movement specified by the selected training program.

When training in open areas, the wind load and buildup of drones when moving around the playing field does not distort the target movement of the light zones. This is because the hardware-software complex containing the gyroscopic orientation system of light emitters and video cameras recorded unplanned movements of the drone and automatically oriented the light emitters mounted on the drone to the position where the projections should be according to the target training program.

An example of an opponent’s stroke training. The football player is on the playing field and is not limited in movement. Around the athlete, whose height is 170 cm, three radio-controlled drones hang at a height of 90 cm from the level of the playing field. They project with laser projectors under themselves rings with a diameter of 130 cm, which are forbidden zones for the athlete. At the “Start” command, drones controlled by a hardware-software complex purposefully attack and pursue a football player. The athlete's task is to get around light opponents with the ball and break out of the environment of forbidden zones. Getting into the light zone is recognized as a mistake.

With the correct execution of the exercise, the hardware-software complex increases the speed of the drones until the athlete can accurately trace the light opponents. At this speed, continue training until you get stable positive results.

When implementing the proposed method can be used known technical solutions and tools. For computer processing of information, known or original software can be used.

The technical nature of the solution is confirmed by the presence of a technical result obtained in the implementation of this invention. The proposed method for the first time indicates the path and technical means by which the task can be solved.

The hardware-software complex forms a database based on the results of tests carried out at different times. These data can be the basis for the analysis of the athlete's fitness and adjusting his training.

The inventive method allows at a new level to organize the preparation of an athlete, to assess his visual, cognitive and motor abilities in the field, not tied to stationary sports complexes.

Thus, the claimed method of training athletes has new properties that determine the receipt of a positive effect.
