The invention relates to a method for guiding a runner along a predetermined running path. To allow an easy and effective navigation during sports, the method comprises the steps of a) Determining the actual position of the runner by means of a GPS module; b) Assigning of the actual position of the runner to a position along the predetermined running or walking path; c) Determining whether the runner has to continue the predetermined running or walking path straight ahead or by turning to the left or by turning to the right; d) Controlling of at least two light emitting elements which are arranged at or in a garment which is worn by the runner, wherein at least one left light emitting element is located in a left hand region of the garment and wherein at least one right light emitting element is located in a right hand region of the garment, wherein no activation of the light emitting elements is carried out when the walker is to supposed to continue straight ahead; or the at least one left light emitting element is activated when the walker is supposed to turn left; or the at least one right light emitting element is activated when the walker is supposed to turn right. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for guiding the runner along the predetermined running path (2). |

Embodiments provide a waistband system including a flap of material coupled to a pair of pants at or near a waistband of the pants. The flap may be rotated (e.g., folded) between an extended position in which at least a portion of the flap rises above a waistline (i.e., top edge) of the pants, and a folded down position in which the flap is substantially or completely disposed in an interior portion of the pants below the waistline. When the flap is in the extended (folded up) position, the flap may provide a user of the pants protection from matter, such as snow, rain, liquids, and/or debris, above the waistline of the pants. On the other hand, the folded down position may provide more comfort and/or aesthetic appeal. Accordingly, the panel may be extended to provide extra protection for the user when desired, and may be folded down when the extra protection is not needed. |

Apparel is disclosed that can be worn to assist an interactive game in tracking the movement of the wearer. More particularly, the apparel may include one or more tracking marks formed of designs, patterns, or reflective materials that can be easily tracked by an interactive game employing one or more cameras or other detectors for detecting a change in position of an object. The apparel may take the form of, for example, hats, shirts, jackets, pants, gloves, and shoes. By providing tracking marks on apparel, rather than using a special-purpose device that must be separately worn, a player may enjoy a more natural feel when playing the interactive game. Further, the player need not don any special equipment to play the game. Instead, a user can wear the apparel for everyday purposes, and then simply begin playing the game wearing the apparel without having to put on any additional equipment. The apparel may use reflective materials, and the interactive game can employ a camera and a light source configuration where the camera is located within the observation angle of a player employing retroreflective materials reflecting light from the light source. |

This disclosure describes a gripping aid to improve the hand-to-handle interface. The gripping aid increases the grip span of a user by bridging the anatomical gaps in the user's finger and thumb. The gripping aid provide a structure along the thumb web to oppose the gripping force of the fingers/thumb to increase grip strength. In some implementations, the gripping aid may be composed of a crush resistant and further include a fulcrum point to add instability to increase the speed and/or torque of each swing of a handle. In some implementations, the gripping aid may also provide a reduction in vibrations and superficial hand traumas normally caused when the handle strikes an object. |
