1. At least one transducer operative to detect movement of a user;
- a processor connected to said at least one transducer and operative to process, while the user is ice skating, the output of said at least one transducer, said processor operative to;
assess said output of said at least one transducer; and
process said output to determine the characteristics of the user'"'"'s ice skating motions;
said at least one transducer affixed to an ice skate worn by the user;
said processor transported by the user, whereby said determinations include determination of leaf trace data and/or spatial orientation data of said ice skate during a power stroke of the ice skate.

Abstract
A processing means and method for obtaining and processing movement data and/or orientation data from one or both ice skates, for an ice skater, while the ice skater is skating. The means and method further recite the use of historical data regarding preferred hockey skating techniques for comparison with the movement data and/or orientation data.

13. A method for detecting the movement of a user comprised of the following steps:
-
the step of having at least one transducer operative to detect movement of a user; the step of having a processor and connecting said processor to said at least one transducer; the step of having said processor operative to process, while the user is ice skating, the output of said at least one transducer, the step of having said processor operative to assess said output of said at least one transducer; the step of having said processor process said output, said processor determining the characteristics of the user'"'"'s ice skating motions; the step of affixing said at least one transducer affixed to an ice skate the step of having said ice skate worn by the user; the step of having said processor transported by the user, the step of determining leaf trace data and/or spatial orientation data of said ice skate during a power stroke of the ice skate. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
