Connected fitness technology for slide boards

Abstract

A slide board system that includes a slide board, a first bumper selectively connected to the slide board and positioned at a first end of the slide board, the first bumper comprising one or more sensors, a second bumper selectively connected to the slide board and positioned at a second end of the slide board opposite the first end, a processing system including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions include receiving a data from the one or more sensors, calculating a plurality of metrics from the data, and outputting the metrics to a display.

1 . A slide board system comprising:
 a slide board;   a first bumper selectively connected to the slide board and positioned at a first end of the slide board, the first bumper comprising one or more sensors;   a second bumper selectively connected to the slide board and positioned at a second end of the slide board opposite the first end; and   a processing system including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions comprising:
 receiving data from the one or more sensors; 
 calculating a plurality of metrics from the data; and 
 outputting the plurality of metrics to a display. 
   
     
     
         2 . The slide board system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of metrics comprise at least one of a speed, a peak force, Calories burned, distance, heart rate, pace, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The slide board system of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions further comprise calculating a metabolic equivalent based on the data. 
     
     
         4 . The slide board system of  claim 1 , wherein the first bumper and the second bumper are selectively connected to the slide board via one or more posts. 
     
     
         5 . The slide board system of  claim 1 , wherein the second bumper is connectable to a plurality of positions along the length of the slide board. 
     
     
         6 . An exercise tracking system comprising:
 at least one sensor connectable to a user;   a slide board system including one or more bumpers and a slide surface; and   a processing system including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions comprising:
 receiving data from the at least one sensor; 
 calculating a plurality of metrics from the data; and 
 outputting the plurality of metrics to a display. 
   
     
     
         7 . The exercise tracking system of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one sensor measures metrics of the user, the metrics including at least one of a heart rate of the user, a blood pressure of the user, a temperature of the user, a speed, an acceleration, a direction change, a number of slides, a distance, or a force. 
     
     
         8 . A slide board system comprising:
 a slide board;   a first bumper selectively connected to the slide board and positioned at a first end of the slide board;   a second bumper selectively connected to the slide board and positioned at a second end of the slide board opposite the first end;   at least one sensor connectable to a user; and   a processing system including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions comprising:
 receiving data from the at least one sensor; 
 calculating a plurality of metrics from the data; and 
 outputting the plurality of metrics to a display.
