Apparatus, systems, and methods are provided for measuring and analyzing
movements of a body and for communicating information related to such
body movements over a network. In certain embodiments, a system gathers
biometric and biomechanical data relating to positions, orientations, and
movements of various body parts of a user performed during sports
activities, physical rehabilitation, or military or law enforcement
activities. The biometric and biomechanical data can be communicated to a
local and/or remote interface, which uses digital performance assessment
tools to provide a performance evaluation to the user. The performance
evaluation may include a graphical representation (e.g., a video),
statistical information, and/or a comparison to another user and/or
instructor. In some embodiments, the biometric and biomechanical data is
communicated wirelessly to one or more devices including a processor,
display, and/or data storage medium for further analysis, archiving, and
data mining. In some embodiments, the device includes a cellular
telephone.
