MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF FEET-ASSOCIATED FORCES DURING SWING IN GOLF GAME Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A63B69/36 

FIELD: medicine, sport.

SUBSTANCE: invention overcomes various drawbacks of previous level and presents method and device which in proper way measures and analyses acting on feet forces during a swing in golf game in such a way that results are reported to an ordinary golf player in suitable and appropriate format. Device (1) contains immovable surface (2) for player; means (27) of communication; and multitude of sensors (11), functioning in such a way as to measure force. Immovable surface (2) contains two separate platforms (3, 4) for player's feet. Each platform (3, 4) for feet contains support construction or supporting elements, vertical forces being distributed on multitude of discrete positions (5). Sensors (11) are placed in discrete positions (5), on which vertical forces are distributed. Sensors (11) function in such a way as to measure vertical forces. Device also contains computing unit (26), which functions in such a way as to analyse a swing, and includes unit for reception and separate processing of signals from separate sensors or groups of sensors (11); unit for determination of relative modules and positions of resultant forces by resolving balance of forces, including separate forces, measured by sensors (11), with respect to discrete positions of sensors (11); and unit for analysis and estimation of numerical data, connected with measured positions and modules of forces.

EFFECT: increase of measurement and analysis efficiency.
