Systems And Methods For Providing Training Opportunities Based On Data Collected From Monitoring A Physiological Parameter Of Persons Engaged In Physical Activity
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing training opportunities based on data collected from monitoring a physiological parameter of persons engaged in physical activity. The physical activity can be a sporting activity, such as a contact sport (e.g., football, hockey, lacrosse) or a recreational activity or sport (e.g., biking, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, motorsports). The system is configured with select components that perform a method of (i) recording data related to a physiological parameter of a person engaged in a physical activity (e.g., an impact received by a player engaged in a contact sport), (ii) analyzing the recorded data related to the physiological parameter while the person is engaged in a physical activity (e.g., is the received impact greater than a predetermined threshold), and (iii) providing post-physical activity analysis of the recorded data to make suggested changes in how the person engages in the physical activity.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. A multi-functional system that gathers, analyzes and records physiological parameter data for a plurality of players engaged in play of a contact sport, and provides training opportunities based on analysis of the recorded physiological parameter data, the multi-functional system comprising:
a monitoring unit positioned within a piece of protective sports equipment worn by each of the players, each monitoring unit having (i) at least one sensor configured to gather a physiological parameter data experienced by the player while engaged in playing the contact, and (ii) a control unit that analyzes and records the physiological parameter data experienced by the player; a database that stores the analyzed and recorded physiological parameter data of the players that is provided by the monitoring units; a remote terminal having a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to (i) receive and display said analyzed and recorded physiological parameter data for the players, and (ii) selectively display a training opportunity indicator to an authorized user when said analyzed and recorded physiological parameter data for a specific player exceeds a predetermined threshold of a previously recorded collection of physiological parameter data.
Claim CLM-00020. 20. A method of gathering, analyzing and recording physiological parameter data for a plurality of players engaged in play of a contact sport, and selectively providing training opportunities to at least one specific player from amongst the plurality of players based on further analysis of the recorded physiological parameter data, the method comprising:
providing (i) a monitoring unit positioned within a piece of protective sports equipment worn by each of the players, the monitoring unit having at least one sensor and a control unit, (ii) a database; (iii) a remote terminal having a graphical user interface (GUI); using the at least one sensor to gather a physiological parameter data experienced by each of the players while engaged in playing the contact sport; analyzing and recording the physiological parameter data experienced by the players with the control unit; storing the analyzed and recorded physiological parameter data of the players on the database; receiving and displaying the analyzed and recorded physiological parameter data of the players on the GUI; and, selectively displaying a training opportunity indicator on the GUI to an authorized user when said analyzed and recorded physiological parameter data for a specific player exceeds a predetermined threshold of a previously recorded collection of physiological parameter data that is stored on the database.
