1. A system for quantifying physical performance and for using gesture recognition to control system operation comprising:

  • means for measuring three axes of linear motion, said measuring means being secured to a user'"'"'s finger;

    means for inputting said measured three axes of linear motion into processing means;

    means for starting said measuring of said three axes of linear motion via hand positioning and/or hand movement;

    means for minimizing spurious measurements of said three axes of linear motion;

    means for providing an acceleration magnitude corresponding to said measured three axes of linear motion;

    means for stopping said measuring of said three axes of linear motion via hand positioning and/or hand movement; and

    means for calculating and indicating predetermined parameters of physical exercise, whereby said measuring means provide parameters pertaining to acceleration magnitude and high-frequency, low amplitude finger movements and/or gestures that are sufficiently distinctive from typical exercise patterns are used to facilitate control of system operations, said acceleration magnitude and said finger movements providing continuous information from a finger start gesture to a finger stop gesture to said processing means for quantifying and displaying physical performance data for a time period determined by said finger start gesture and said finger stop gesture.
