Systems and methods for performance training
First Claim
1. A system for analyzing a position of a human body, comprising:
- an image capture device which captures an image of a human body;
a user interaction unit where a user selects a position of the human body on the captured image;
a comparison unit which determines an angle of the human body at the selected position and calculates a difference between an angle of the selected position and a desired angle of the selected position; and
a display unit which displays feedback based on the calculated difference.

Abstract
Systems and methods for movement and position training of a human body are provided. An image capture device such as a still camera or video camera captures an image or video of a human body in a selected position or sequence of positions relating to a movement. The position or movement may relate to a physical activity, such as running, jumping, throwing or swinging. The image is then presented to a user on a display, where the user may select one or more positions of the human body for analysis. Upon selecting a position, an angle of the position is determined and then compared to a desired angle determined through known biomechanical measurements. The difference between the two angles is calculated, and the user is then presented with feedback, such as a corrective action, to aid the user in reducing the difference between the measured angle and the desired angle.

12. A method for training a human body, comprising:
-
capturing at least one image of a human body; selecting at least one position of the human body in the captured image; determining an angle of the human body at the selected at least one position; calculating a difference between the angle of the human body at the at least one selected position and a desired angle of the at least one selected position; and displaying feedback based on the calculated difference on a display. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
