The present invention pertains to a method of instruction and simulated training and competitive play or entertainment in an activity that couples cognitive and motor functions, in particular, the playing of the game of hockey. The invention includes a computer used to view and to control images of hockey players on a computer screen. An image of a hockey player controlled by the user is juxtaposed to or superimposed upon the image of an instructive, ideal or master hockey player(s). The user manipulates the controlled image of a hockey player in an effort to approximate the movements of the instructive or ideal player via an input device such as a keyboard, joystick, or virtual reality device. The invention also includes means by which the user's performance in approximating the instructive or ideal player may be measured. The user can also control an image of a hockey player on the computer screen so that the image engages in performing offensive and defensive drills in opposition to an ideal or another opponent or team.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method of instructing in simulated training for at least one user interacting with at least one image displayed on a display means of a computer system, said method comprising the steps of:generating and storing in a memory means of a computer system, at least one computer displayed sequence of demonstrative images, wherein said at least one computer displayed sequence of demonstrative images comprises a series of pre-recorded images of demonstrative performance of the activity representing human physical activity movements;further generating and storing, in said memory means, at least one computer displayed user controllable image, wherein said at least one computer displayed user controllable image, derived from parameters of human biomechanics, comprises a user controllable image adopted for use by said user to perform a series of simulated human physical activity movements responsive to said sequence of demonstrative images;displaying an image of said sequence of demonstrative images on a display means of said computer;further displaying said user controllable image with said displayed image of said sequence of demonstrative images on said display means;providing said at least one user with input means of said computer system to transmit inputs to said computer for controlling said user controllable image, such that instead of said at least one user performing said responsive movement, said user controllable image is controlled to perform said simulated human physical activity movements responsive to said displayed image of said sequence of demonstrative images;simultaneously storing, in said memory means, said simulated human physical activity movements of said user controllable image as controlled by said input means;displaying said simulated human physical activity movements of said controllable image on said display means in conjunction with said displayed image of said sequence of demonstrative images;prompting said at least one user to compare said movement of said user controllable image to respond to said displayed image of said sequence of demonstrative images, thereby said user being instructed to learn said simulated human physical activity movements responsive to said displayed image of said sequence of demonstrative images; andfurther comparing, by a computer processor means of said computer system, said simulated human physical activity movements of said user controllable image with said sequence of demonstrative images, in order to provide the result of the comparison to said at least one user.
