Description

The invention relates to a training device for ball players and methods for training various movements that occur during ball play.

Such a training device is from the German patent application DE 10 2005 042 740 A1 known.

In this known training device a variety of ball encoders are used, which can also be ball receiver at the same time. The arrangement of the ball dispenser and ball receiver in a space-filling manner, it is possible to improve the athletic coordination ability of the ball player, as this receives the ball from any ball sender and gets the ball receiver given by an acoustic or optical signal, in which he the ball has to play. Due to the high number of donors and ball receivers, it is possible to train certain movements, especially in handball and football and then evaluate. One focus of this known training device is the adjustability of the reaction and repetition rate of the individual training sequences, as well as the different attacking hardness and playing speed. An advantage of this training device is to improve the responsiveness of the ball player, in which the one-time playing and targeted playback over a long period under identical conditions can be trained.

A disadvantage of this training device is that the ball player can not train more complex game situations over a long period of time under identical conditions, since only one-time ball contacts, ie a start and subsequent play can be trained.

The object of the present invention is to provide a training device and training method, with which or with which it is possible to be able to train more complex game situations, especially in hand and football under constant conditions and preferably in a real game environment.

This object is achieved by a training device with the features according to claim 1 and by a training method with the features according to claim 11. Dependent claims 2-10 and 12 are directed to advantageous developments of the present invention.

For the interaction of the ball with the ball receiver, the ball must at least be brought close to the ball receiver. Whether the ball but at least partially penetrates the ball receiver, is received by him, touched him and / or rebounding from him, etc. is due to the exact design of the training device, or the individual ball receiver.

According to the invention, the training device comprises a plurality of ball receivers, which according to the different embodiments of the invention are arranged either in a continuous frame structure with a plurality of other ball receivers, as ball receiver clusters or as individual ball receivers. A coherent frame structure can be used, for example, in a hall as a stationary training device. In this case, the ball receivers may have different sizes and, in particular, be smaller when training goal shots, for example in "penalty kicks" on a wall consisting of ball receivers.

In another embodiment of the invention, the ball receivers may be arranged as a ball receiver cluster, for example consisting of 3, 4 or 5 ball receiver, which are arranged in a row next to each other. Likewise, the ball receiver clusters may be superimposed and simulate an artificial "wall" or a player to be played.

Finally, in another embodiment of the invention, the ball receivers may be used individually. In order to have a certain dimensional stability and robustness, all ball receiver are inventively designed so that they have a frame in which or are attached to the sensors. Since the frame must be designed so that it remains dimensionally stable even in the event of unwanted contact with a ball, different technical measures must be taken for this purpose.

In one embodiment of the invention, the frame of the ball receivers may be made of metal strand material that can withstand the impact of a ball and thus does not deform. Likewise, the frame of a ball receiver according to the invention may be made of an elastic strand material which deforms briefly in an impact with a ball and then reforms back to its original shape. Advantageously, carbon shafts can be used for the frame structure, as used for example for golf clubs. Due to their dimensional stability and elastic and lightweight construction, the carbon shafts are particularly suitable for the frame structure of the ball receiver.

According to the invention sensors are mounted in or on the frame structure, which can detect the passage of a ball. For example, can be used as sensors photocells, which are preferably pre-mounted on strips.

As a signal generator can serve as a speaker, for example, announcing the selected ball receiver or a light beam that refers to the selected ball receiver. It is also possible that the ball receiver has a frame-shaped boundary, which is characterized by a light band, for example by a light chain or LEDs. This signal generator indicates in which ball receiver the user of the training device has to play the ball. According to the invention, the signal can be set to an arbitrary period of time and additionally convey a specific message to the user by means of color or sound. For example, the user can be displayed at very short notice, which is the current selected ball receiver, but the ball receiver can also be displayed by a moving light or video signal. Such a training device according to the invention is particularly suitable for training the coordination of the user, since the user only knows after the signaling has taken place where he has to play the ball.

The ball receiver according to the invention further comprises a ball catching device, which is designed for example as a safety net and serves to decelerate the ball located in the ball receiver and to transport down.

Furthermore, the ball receiver according to the invention has an electronic slave unit, in which the signal data of the ball receiver are read and transmitted to a master unit by radio. In addition to the transmitting unit, the electronic slave unit also has a receiving unit in order to receive signals from the master unit or from other slave units. For example, the slave unit is instructed by the master unit to emit an audible or visual signal.

1. 1. Doppelpaß mit nur einem Spieler
2. 2. Doppelpaß mit mehreren Spielern
3. 3. Paß in den Lauf eines Spielers
4. 4. Eckball mit Kopfballchance
5. 5. Indirekter Freistoß

With the training device according to the invention in particular more complex game and standard situations, as they are known from the football game trained. An exemplary selection (but not limited to this invention) of these game and standard situations that may be practiced by means of the present invention is:

1. 1. Double pass with only one player
2. 2. Double pass with several players
3. 3. Pass in the course of a player
4. 4th corner with header chance
5. 5. Indirect free kick

The training device according to the invention has the advantage that the user or the user initially do not know from which ball dispenser a ball on the field is given, at what height they are played and at what ball speed this will happen. In addition, the user or users are not aware of when the ball is to be delivered to which ball receiver. By attached to the training device according to the invention sensors that can be controlled via a master / slave system, read and evaluated, it is possible to train the above-exemplified game situations.

1. Double pass training with only one player

In one embodiment of the present invention, the user is played by a ball dispenser. This can be done at different heights. After leaving the ball dispenser runs in the timer of the central computer, ie the master unit, for example, a predetermined period of time delta t, from which can be set either manually or automatically after the respective training level. Delta t, determines the time interval between the ball delivery at t ₁ and the signal delivery t ₂ , which indicates in which ball receiver the ball is to be transported. The value delta t ₁ can be chosen to be very short, for example only 0.1 s or even longer for example up to 5 s. Likewise, other time intervals are possible. Depending on the training requirements and the strength of the player, the time interval can vary, as well as it can be determined by a random function.

In order to carry out a lifelike training, the user is shown after Delta t, a first ball receiver into which the ball is to be played. This selected first ball receiver is marked, for example, with a light edge that only lights up for a short time. The user must therefore try to play the ball during the short period in the selected first ball receiver. Once the ball has been detected by the sensors in the selected first ball receiver, the user is given a second signal from another ball sender, such as the previously selected ball receiver closest to the ball, to indicate to the user the second ball receiver in which he / she places the ball has to play. As soon as he has played the ball into the second ball receiver, the training game Doppelpaß is completed with a player and can start anew.

2. Double pass with several players

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the double-pass training game described above is changed with a player so that a first player or user receives the ball from the training device at time t, must accept it, with the proviso of passing that ball to a second player or play user. This second player or user must accept the ball and return to the first player or user as soon as possible. After the time period delta t, the first player a ball receiver is displayed, in which he must play the ball. As soon as the first player or user has played the ball into the ball receiver, the training game double pass with several players is completed and can start anew. This training game train is used in particular the training of two players, but also other players or users can participate in it. The time period delta t, if necessary, to vote on the number of players or users.

3. Pass in the course of a player

In another embodiment of the present invention, the user is played by a ball dispenser. This can be done at different heights. After leaving the ball dispenser runs in the timer of the central computer a predetermined period of time delta t, from which can be set either manually or automatically after the respective training level. Delta t ₁ determines the time interval between the ball delivery at t ₁ and the signal delivery t ₂ , which indicates in which ball receiver the ball is to be transported. In contrast to Doppelpaßspielzügen is now the selected ball receiver, ie the area in which the ball to play is not static, ie stationary, but is subject to a certain change in location. For the player or user, therefore, the life-oriented training situation that he gets the ball leaked and after one Time period delta t, a moving light signal is received that moves at a certain speed. The player must now play the ball, taking into account the duration of the ball in the direction of the light signal and as far as "hold" that the ball with the light signal, ie the then selected ball receiver meets. If the encounter is successful, the turn has been successfully completed.

4th corner with header chance

In a further embodiment variant of the present invention, the user (s) or player (s) is / are positioned in the training device according to the invention such that preferably the dimensions of a real playing field cutout with a corner vane are reproduced. In the case of a corner kick, depending on the dimensions of the playing field, this can be a distance of approx. 25 m to 38 m between the center of the goal and the corner flag. For example, a ball dispenser is positioned at the corner bucket position and dispenses a ball towards the user or player. After a period of time delta t, a ball receiver is selected by means of signal delivery, in which the ball is to be played. Since a targeted playback, or placing the ball with the head is more difficult than with the foot, several ball receiver can be selected according to the invention. It is possible, for example, to position and select ball receivers so that the usual door dimensions of 2.44 m by 7.32 m can be simulated close to life. According to the invention, it is therefore possible to "interconnect" a plurality of ball receivers to select particular areas of a gate, for example, sectors or squares. The respective size of the areas is determined by the size of the ball receiver. An "interconnection" can take place, for example, via the system control of the master unit.

A particular advantage of this embodiment variant according to the invention is the ability to repeat the standard situation Eckstoß under repeatable conditions as often as desired, in particular the coverage of the gate, ie the ball receiver can also be trained lifelike and realistic.

Due to the possibility of the ball dispenser to deliver a ball at different heights, it is possible in the training unit "corner kick" in another embodiment of the present invention to give the ball "flat" or "high" to a user or player. This realistic moment of surprise makes it possible to play the ball in one or more selected ball receivers via a "stopover". With regard to the games trains used, this embodiment variant is similar to the embodiment variant explained below "indirect free kick".

5. Indirect free kick

In another embodiment of the present invention, the ball is dispensed by a ball player either "flat" or "high" to a user or player. After the predetermined period delta t, a ball receiver is selected, in which the last user or player has to play the ball.

In all the aforementioned game and standard situations all ball movement data are detected by the sensors, central or master unit of the training device according to the invention, stored and optionally supplied to an evaluation software.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a training field defines a playing field, or the training device has a playing field on which the user stays while training with the training device.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the training device is erected on only one side of a playing field, for example a soccer field. This embodiment is particularly well suited, for example, for the game "pass in the course of a player".

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the training device is erected on two or three sides of a playing field, for example a soccer field.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the training device is built in any way on the field, such as a football field. In this embodiment, the ball receiver can be arranged in any manner, individually or as a cluster on the field. Especially the modular design of this preferred embodiment offers the advantage of being able to train even very complex moves under realistic conditions.

In all the aforementioned embodiments, the ball receiver and the ball dispenser can be arranged separately from each other. However, it may be advantageous that a ball dispenser is also a ball receiver at the same time, since the opening of the ball dispenser can also be equipped with sensors to serve as a ball receiver.

A major advantage of the modular embodiment of the present invention is that the arrangement of the ball receiver and ball dispenser can be done on a field in any way, since all modules are in radio contact with each other and thus can exchange all data with each other.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each ball receiver has its own identifier, ie address. Based on this address, the master unit can address each ball recipient and give him certain commands, for example. A possible command the ball receiver 001 would, in Delta t, a light signal for a period of ₂ Delta t deliver. Another possible command to the ball receiver 001 would be to deliver a light signal in delta t ₁ for the duration delta t ₂ and to the ball receiver 002 after delta t, + t ₂ a signal for the duration delta t ₂ , etc. By wireless radio networking the master unit with the slave units of the ball receiver, it is possible to control each ball receiver at a desired time and transmit corresponding signals. Through the transmitting unit in the Ball receivers it is possible to transfer the respective sensor data to the master unit.

1. 1. Zeitpunkt der Ballabgabe t₀;
2. 2. Zeitdauer bis zur Signalabgabe des ausgewählten Ballempfängers t₁;
3. 3. Adresse und Standort des ausgewählten Ballempfängers;
4. 4. Zeitdauer bis zur Signalerzeugung durch einen beliebigen Ballempfänger;
5. 5. Adresse und Standort des Ballempfängers, der den Ball aufgenommen hat.

For example, if a ball receiver, whether randomly chosen or based on a particular training plan, is instructed by radio from the master unit to signal that the ball receiver is ready to pick up the ball, all other ball receivers will also be instructed to activate the sensors , It is also possible that all sensors are always activated. If the ball is not played by the user or player in the selected ball receiver, but in another ball receiver, this result is transmitted to the master unit and stored. For the evaluation of the training data, it is therefore essential that as much data as possible be transmitted to the master unit. One possible selection of this data is:

1. 1. Time of delivery t ₀ ;
2. 2. Time duration up to the signal output of the selected ball receiver t _1;
3. 3. address and location of the selected ball receiver;
4. 4. Time until signal generation by any ball receiver;
5. 5. Address and location of the ball recipient who picked up the ball.

An evaluation software can reliably determine the accuracy and game speed from these transmitted data. Through a graphical interface, it is possible to represent the performance of the user or player and possibly to compare with older data to determine a training success.

According to the invention, the data of different users can be stored and compared with each other. It is also possible to observe the data of a single user over a longer period of time and to record possible improvements or deteriorations of his state of training.

FIG. 5 shows a further possible arrangement variant of the ball receiver according to the invention. Will, as in FIG. 5 shown, a plurality of ball receivers according to the invention arranged one above the other and next to each other, so it is possible to form a closed wall with ball receivers into which a ball is to be conveyed.

FIG. 6 shows a modification of the arrangement option according to FIG. 5 , with the difference that only ball receivers are arranged side by side, but no ball receiver one above the other.

FIG. 7 shows a conceptual arrangement of the training device according to the invention with a plurality of ball receivers B and ball encoders A - A ^IV . By the ball donors, a game field 200 is determined, which is shown broken with a border. All ball transmitters A - A ^IV and ball receiver B are connected via the air interface with the master unit M and are controlled by this.

All signal data generated by the ball receivers are sent to the master unit. FIG. 7 shows an exemplary turn in which a player S1 is played by the dealer A with a first pass (# 1) with a ball. According to a signal originating from the master unit M, a ball receiver B is selected with the instruction to generate after a certain time delta t ₁ a signal indicating to the player S1 in which the ball receiver has to carry the ball.

By way of example, in FIG. 7 the other plays 2 to 2 ^III specified, each representing different moves. The master unit M instructs the ball dispensers A - A ^IV at which ball speed, at which height and after what time interval the player S1 is again played with a ball. These parameters serve to define the different levels of difficulty and can be determined by a supervisor or coach of the master unit in any way.

FIG. 8 shows a further arrangement of the training device according to the invention, wherein the playing field 200 on three sides of ball receivers B and ball encoders A, A 'is limited. For training and simulating a Doppelpassspielzuges are, for example, the ball donor A in a first pass (# 1) a ball to the player S1, this must deliver in a second pass (# 2) to the ball dealer B, then to in rapid succession the ball dealer A 'again to get a ball leaked, the player S1 must give in a fourth pass (# 4) to a ball dealer. This turn is also controlled and monitored by the master unit M.

FIG. 9 shows the play of a corner ball with Kopfballchance, in which the ball dispenser is disposed in a corner of the playing field 200 and the ball receiver B are arranged so that they take the dimension and distance to the ball A the size of a football goal. In response to a signal from the master unit M, the ball dispenser A dispenses a ball in a first pass (# 1), preferably played as a high ball, to the player S1, who has to propel it by means of a head kick (# 2) towards the ball dispensers. For better simulation, players S2, S3, S4 and S5 may also be located on the playing field 200 to simulate the realistic situation of ball coverage and goal coverage.

FIG. 10 shows a further embodiment of the present invention, in which a plurality of ball receivers B in a row, for example, are also arranged one above the other so that they form a wall. At the beginning of the game "pass into a player's turn", the ball player A sends a ball to the player S1 (# 1) to play in a ball receiver B, the signal indicating the selected ball receiver becoming more dynamic Moves along the arrow LS1, the speed can be realistically adapted to the speed of a player. The player S1 thus has the task of anticipating the speed and location of the simulated player in order to "hit" with his pass (# 2) the ball receiver which is "selected", ie highlighted, by the signal output means at that time.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, this simulation can be realized by a flat screen or by a series of flat screens, which according to FIG. 4 is arranged in the ball receivers 100 according to the invention or are. From the perspective of the player S1, the flat panel displays 106 form a substantially closed wall on which a video signal can be recorded, showing, for example, a running player prepared for the pass # 2. The difficulty of this move can be varied by both the speed of the changing signal, the location of the ball receivers B, the distance between S1 and the ball receivers, and the intensity of the intimation in the first pass (# 1). Thus, for example, it is possible according to the invention for the player S1 to be played with a high ball by the ball dispenser A, who has to stop this with the "chest" and only a few split seconds remain due to the rapidly moving light signal LS1. to move via a volley towards the signal output device and thus in the predetermined ball receiver.

FIG. 11 FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of the present invention in which two players S1 and S2 are on the playing field 200. The ball doner plays with a first turn the player S1, this must as soon as possible the Play player S2 with pass # 2. S2 receives a signal to convey the ball to a predetermined ball receiver B through pass # 3.

FIG. 12 shows a further embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which also two players S1 and S2 are on the field 200. The ball player A plays in a first pass (# 1) the ball to S1, this plays a pass (# 2) to the player S2, which this gives in a third pass (# 3) to a ball receiver and on the assumption of a Prepared by the baller A 'issuing ball (# 5) so by the way (# 4) travels. After the player S2 has received the pass (# 5), he receives the signal to play the ball in a ball receiver B by means of pass (# 6).

In a further embodiment variant of the present invention, the indirect free-kick move is trained by the ball dealer A playing the ball in a first pass (# 1) in the direction S1. The player S1 runs into the first pass (# 1) and plays the ball around a "wall of the players S2 to S8" on a predetermined and the master unit M selected ball receiver B.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, no sensors are attached to the ball receivers, but the Ballortung takes place via a transmitter in the ball. For this purpose, a certain number of receivers are placed on and around the training device according to the invention, which receive the signal of the ball and due to the signal direction and strength, which can make precise location of the ball. In this embodiment of the present invention, only one signal needs to be output for the respective ball receivers, but light barriers are no longer necessary for determining whether a ball has been carried by a particular ball receiver.
