Abstract
A gyroscopic exercise ball () includes a housing () surrounding a rotor () centrally disposed on a shaft () having two ends () mounted in notches () of a freely rotatable gimbal ring (). The ring and the ends of said shaft are disposed in a groove having a height larger than a diameter of the ends of the shaft. The diameter is larger than a thickness of the gimbal ring, and a rotation rate sensor () measures the rotor speed. A processor () is in communication with the rotation rate sensor to calculate an exercise evaluation. A pitch axis and a roll axis gyroscopic sensor () are in communication with the processor. The exercise evaluation determines energy expenditure, force, power, angles or angular velocity of motion, range of motion, position, speed or trajectory of motion, and an evaluation of form for an individual exercise.
