159 Choreographed athletic movement to music US10027217 2001-12-21 US06746247B2 2004-06-08 Michael Barton
The present invention is directed to a method of producing an instructional tool for teaching an athlete how to develop and maintain a consistent tempo for performing a particular athletic activity. The method includes a step of analyzing the tempo of an athlete as they perform an athletic activity and then composing a song that includes a tempo which matches the tempo of an outstanding performance of the athletic activity. The appropriate tempo of the athletic activity is established by determining the amount of time between certain events in the activity when the particular athletic activity is performed at an optimum level by an athlete. The song is composed such that it includes a beat pattern with a time difference between two of the beats in the beat pattern that matches the time difference between two events in the ideally performed athletic activity.

A programmable electronic timing device for use in any sport that requires a routine, worn on the belt with an audible tone that signals when the pre-shot routine of an athlete begins and another tone that sounds when the shot or release of energy should take place according to that athlete's own natural acts. The electronic timing device, here after known as the Routine Machine, contains a timer to be used to time the entire amount of time an athlete should take in their pre-shot routine from start to finish, and provides the results on an easily read digital display. The Routine Machine also contains a metronome function which works in unison with the timing function and produces a tone intermittently from one-half second up to five-second intervals which will assist the athlete with rhythm and tempo training.
