ABSTRACT:
An electronic monitoring apparatus for detecting and indicating contact and non-contact of an athlete's shoes with the ground has pressure sensitive means on each shoe on the bottom surface. The pressure sensitive means are connected to a signal generator in each shoe, producing signals indicative of contact or non-contact. The signal in one shoe is transmitted to the other shoe, where the signals are combined to actuate an indicator when both shoes are out of contact. The signal generators can also be arranged to produce signals indicative of a heel to toe sequence, in which case the pressure sensitive means on each shoe is divided into two zones, one at the heel and one adjacent the toe area.
