Bio-feedback on exercise devices

With the Sportssensor, any movement can be easily tracked and logged using the accelerometer and gyroscope. Activity trackers already exist for placing on the body, but fewer exist that tracks the movement of exercise equipment. Perhaps new ideas are waiting to be explored by placing the Sportssensor on existing exercise equipment.

Most activity trackers only count amount of energy used (like step counting e.g.), but bio-feedback on the quality of the activity may be much more valuable for individuals learning new movements, or patients re-learning motor patterns during rehab.

Example

• Hula hooping is a good tool to prevent hip injuries, and tracking the small improvements of a new user and giving cues on how to improve via bio-feedback may be a great advantage over the normal way of learning how to hula hoop.
