METHOD FOR OBSERVING AND/OR MONITORING STRAINS OCCURRING ON A SPORTS SHOE, AND A SPORTS SHOE FOR USE IN SUCH A METHOD
First Claim
1. A method for observing and/or monitoring strains which occur during sporting activities on a sport shoe and/or a golf shoe, which has an outsole on which a support having downwardly extending engaging elements is mounted, which support is pivotable about an axis perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to a tread of the outsole and has a starting position from which said support is pivotable against the action of a reset force which tries to turn the support back into the starting position thereof, wherein the engaging elements are arranged spaced apart from the axis, the method for observing and/or monitoring strains which occur during the sporting activities on the sport shoe comprises the steps of:
- observing how often the support is turned from its starting position within a time interval;
forming a first variable which is a measure for the number of occurred turning movements of the support from the starting position observed within the time interval; and
/ordetermining the pivot angle of the support and forming a second variable which is a measure for the sum of the pivot angles which occurred during the turning movements from the starting position which took place in said time interval, wherein the aforementioned steps are carried out by devices which are provided in or on the sport shoe; and
displaying the first variable and/or the second variable.

Abstract
A method for observing and/or monitoring strains which occur during sporting activities uses a sport shoe having downwardly extending engaging elements on a support which are pivotable about an axis perpendicular to a tread outsole. The method includes: observing how often the support is turned from its starting position within a time interval; forming a first variable which is a measure for the number of occurred turning movements of the support from the starting position observed within the time interval; and/or determining the pivot angle of the support and forming a second variable which is a measure for the sum of the pivot angles which occurred during the turning movements from the starting position which took place in said time interval, wherein the aforementioned steps are carried out by devices which are provided in or on the sport shoe; and displaying the first and/or second variables.

24. A method for observing and/or monitoring strains which occur during sporting activities on a sport shoe, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
-
providing the sports shoe having an outsole on which a support having downwardly extending engaging elements is mounted, which support is pivotable about an axis perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to a tread of the outsole and has a starting position from which said support is pivotable against the action of a reset force which tries to turn the support back into the starting position thereof, wherein the engaging elements are arranged spaced apart from the axis; observing how often the support is turned from its starting position within a time interval; forming a first variable which is a measure for the number of occurred turning movements of the support from the starting position observed within the time interval; and
