Athletic Training Device
First Claim
1. An apparatus to train athletes, the apparatus comprising:
- a knee pad comprising a knee pad sensor, wherein the knee pad sensor senses movement near the knee pad sensor and contact to the knee pad sensor and reports movement and contact data to a CPU;
a foot pad comprising a foot pad sensor, wherein the foot pad sensor senses movement near the foot pad sensor and contact to the foot pad sensor and reports movement and contact data to the CPU; and
a main trunk configured to connect the foot pad and the knee pad.

Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for accurate measurement, compilation, and presentation of sprinting and running technique data. In one embodiment, the apparatus, system and method includes a knee pad configured to contain a knee pad sensor, a foot pad configured to contain a foot pad sensor and a main trunk that connects the foot pad and the knee pad. The knee pad sensor and the foot pad sensor sense movement near the sensors and contact to the sensors. Data from the sensors is output to a CPU. In one embodiment, the apparatus, system and method include arm sensors. The arm sensors sense arm movement of a user and report arm movement data to the CPU. In a further embodiment, the apparatus may be configured to contain a harness positioned opposite the main trunk.
