1. An apparatus comprising:
- a user input device;
a sensor;
a processor; and
memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to at least;
track movement of the sensor, wherein data from the movement of the sensor is recognized as a user'"'"'s physical activity, and wherein the data includes an average contact time for each foot of the user and indicates whether one leg of the user is slower than the other;
compare the data to a predetermined performance criterion; and
electronically transmit a guide for improving a running movement efficiency of the user based on the comparison of the data to the predetermined performance criterion, wherein the guide for improving running movement efficiency is calculated by analyzing acceleration data associated with at least one of the user'"'"'s wrists and at least one of the user'"'"'s shoes to characterize directions of arm movement during running relative to running stride information.

Abstract
A multi-mode athleticism movement measurement system includes an athlete-borne acceleration sensor and an athleticism processing device to determine athleticism information based upon one or more timing measurements from the athlete-borne acceleration sensor, the athleticism information corresponding to any of multiple athleticism measurement modes available on athleticism processing device and selectable by a user. A data link between the athlete-borne acceleration sensor and the athleticism rating processing device transmits the one or more timing measurements from the athlete-borne acceleration sensor to the athleticism rating processing device.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of an apparatus, cause the processor of the apparatus to:
-
track movement of a sensor, wherein data from the movement of the sensor is recognized as a user'"'"'s physical activity, and wherein the data includes an average contact time for each foot of the user and indicates whether one leg of the user is slower than the other; compare the data to a predetermined performance criterion; and electronically providing a guide for improving running movement efficiency of the user based on the comparison of the physical activity data to the predetermined performance criterion. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
