Abstract
Athletic activity monitoring methods and systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a sensor module is physically coupled to an object during an athletic activity conducted by a user. An athletic activity monitoring method for use with the sensor module includes detecting movement of the object; determining an initial spatial orientation of the object; and determining a change in the spatial orientation of the object. The method further includes wirelessly transmitting data relating to the change in spatial orientation to a computer, where the computer is remotely located from the user during the athletic activity; wirelessly receiving activity metric data from the remote computer, where the activity metric data is based on the transmitted data relating to the change in spatial orientation; and providing an output to the user that conveys an activity metric.
