1. A method for determining a jump characteristic of an individual, the method comprising:
- identifying take-off of a jump performed by the individual;
determining a first vertical velocity of the individual, based on first acceleration data sensed at an initiation of the jump, using a sensor module comprising an accelerometer coupled to the individual;
determining a second vertical velocity of the individual, based on the first vertical velocity and second acceleration data sensed between the initiation of the jump and the take-off of the jump; and
calculating maximum jump height based on the second vertical velocity.

Abstract
A method for monitoring an individual engaged in an athletic activity includes detecting movement of the individual at a first time, using a sensor module coupled to the individual, determining that the movement of the individual corresponds to a predetermined activation movement, entering an active state of the sensor module in response to the determination that the movement of the individual corresponds to the predetermined activation movement, and detecting movement of the individual at a second time, using the sensor module in the active state.

15. A method for monitoring an individual engaged in an athletic activity, the method comprising:
-
detecting movement of the individual, using a sensor module comprising an accelerometer coupled to the individual; recording movement data; determining a correlation between the movement data and an activity metric by reference to a data structure; determining an initial spatial orientation of the individual; determining a change in spatial orientation of the individual; determining the activity metric based on the change in the spatial orientation; and providing an output that conveys the activity metric. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
