Abstract
The exercise performance monitoring apparatus consists of gloves and shoes that have embedded pressure sensor arrays to measure pressure applied to them during exercise. The gloves and shoes send the pressure data using wireless RF transmitters to a central display control unit located on each glove. The gloves have color LED strips which change color depending on whether the gloves or shoes are measuring equal pressures. The glove displays the state of balance between the glove and shoe pressures using separate LED displays on each glove. The pressure balance is adjustable as well as the selection of colors to display. The user can at a glance see if he or she is in balance when performing the specific exercise by observing the color shown on the glove display. The glove display for either glove or shoe pressure will flash the color representing unbalanced pressures if the pressures are unbalanced on the glove having the highest or lowest pressure depending on user preference. A steady color is shown when the pressure is balanced and then changes color as soon as the pressures become unbalanced. A wireless enabled device such as a smart phone can also be used to monitor the exerci…
