163 Athlete positioner for increasing swing speed and strength US10969707 2004-10-20 US07374520B1 2008-05-20 Paul A. Licari
An exercise method and apparatus means for increasing swing speed and swing strength of sporting and self defense implements, by supporting an athlete, while swinging the implements, in a range of angles that take advantage of the direct downward acceleration due to gravity. Comprised of a rigid human support, and a stationary base of sufficient height, with the means of securing the angle with respect to the gravitational acceleration, the athlete swings an implement just as he would standing vertical, in an attitude off vertical to make the most of increasing forces on the implement being swung.
164 Functional Training Exercise Apparatus and Methods US11467079 2006-08-24 US20080051267A1 2008-02-28 A. Buell Ish

A color image of a batter is painted or otherwise printed on each side of the silhouette for both right-handed and left-handed “batter” positioning. A support pole extends upwardly inside of the silhouette to the height of about the shoulder region of the “batter”. The support pole protrudes below the feet of the “batter” and is inserted into a receiving socket in a small base plate or, alternately, is inserted into a receiving pipe or cup buried in the ground in the batter's box at home plate. A bat made of identical foam material may be formed as part of the dummy. Further alternately, raised or relief portions may be added to the surface of the silhouette add further depth of view to the image, or such depth may be implemented with painted or printed shading.

172 Projectile-based Sports Simulation Method and Apparatus US10906035 2005-01-31 US20050107179A1 2005-05-19 Anees Munshi
A method for performing projectile-based sport simulations. A striking apparatus is used to strike a projectile with striking means, the striking apparatus being configurable to alter its strike properties. The strike results from the strike are measured and are entered into a data base along with the corresponding strike properties. The process is repeated for a variety of strike properties. A sports practice device is then provided having a simulation projectile mounted to a flexible tether and sensor means. The striking apparatus is then used to strike the simulation projectile of the sports practice device using the same strike properties as entered into the database. A user strikes the simulation projectile of the sports practice device and sensor readings are measured. The strike results for the user's strike are calculated by correlating the sensor readings with the information entered into the database.
173 Method and apparatus for determining orientation and position of a moveable object US10742264 2003-12-19 US20050032582A1 2005-02-10 Satayan Mahajan; Vadim Gerasimov; Arun Mehta; Zachery LaValley
An orientation and position tracking system in three-dimensional space and over a period of time utilizing multiple inertial and other sensors for determining motion parameters to measure orientation and position of a moveable object. The sensors, for example vibrational and angular velocity sensors, generate signals characterizing the motion of the moveable object. The information is received by a data acquisition system and processed by a microcontroller. The data is then transmitted via wireless communication to an external data reception system (locally based or a global network). The information can then be displayed and presented to the user through a variety of means including audio, visual, and tactile.
174 Swing trainer US10786166 2004-02-26 US20040229736A1 2004-11-18 David W. Dise; Chris Mack
A swing trainer composed of a handle, pulley, and cord connected to the handle and passing through the pulley permits a user to freely move the handle in any direction as well as rotate about its longitudinal axis so that he or she can engage in movement specific resistance training in a muscle memory fashion. The swing trainer preferably includes all or portion of a golf club (e.g., golf grip), tennis racket, baseball bat, hockey stick, or other piece of sporting equipment which the user will be training on. Because the handle is connected to the cord, the user can turn, rotate, and swing the handle in the same manner as he or she will when engaged in a sport, and the cord will slide on the pulley during this motion. Resistance, in the form of weights or the like, can be applied during the swing without obstructing the natural motion of the swing because the shifting, turning or rotating movement will translate into sliding of the cord through the pulley and force being applied from the pulley to the resistance (e.g., weights). Furthermore, a ball shaped device may be substituted for the handle for resistance training of the specific movements required for throwing a football or baseball, or for rolling a bowing ball or sliding a curling stone.

Wakenight; Olin Glenn Lathrop; Robert Jonathan Schmidt
The invention disclosed includes a head gear to be worn when it is desirable to have an indication of the wearer's head motion or position. The head gear may be incorporated into an existing article of head wear. The incorporation may be permanent, or the head gear may be alternatively attached to various articles of head wear. Integral with the head gear are motion and/or position sensing devices to indicate the motion or position of the wearer's head. The data from the sensors may be fed into a digital processor to process the sensed data and derive a signal indicative of the wearer's head motion or position. Some embodiments employ a programmable processor to adapt the head gear to a variety of applications. The signal indicative of head motion or position may be fed into an indicator to provide the wearer with a recognizable feedback signal indicative of head motion or position.
