SENSOR, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AND DISPLAYING THE HEIGHT OF A JUMP PERFORMED BY A SPORTS PRACTITIONER

In the field of multi-sport data sensors for evaluating the performance of a sports practitioner in various sporting disciplines, in particular in board sports, there is disclosed a method, a sensor and a statistical analysis system for analyzing the path of a surf practitioner performing a jump, and more particularly for calculating the height of the jump. The method can advantageously be applied to kitesurfing, but is not limited thereto. It is based on filtering and integrating the data from an accelerometer. In certain embodiments, it advantageously includes a quadratic correction step for correcting errors introduced by uncertainties relating to the accelerometer measurements.
