1. A method for preventing injuries to a user during an athletic activity, comprising:
measuring a sequence of acceleration data while a device is fastened to the user and the user performs at least one exercise, wherein the device includes an accelerometer and a digital processor that measure the sequence of acceleration data;
during or at an end of the exercise, calculating motion of a center of gravity of the user based on the acceleration data;
receiving results of a questionnaire from the user; and
selecting a sport equipment article for the user based on the motion of the center of gravity of the user and the results of the questionnaire.
