Method For Monitoring Exercise, And Apparatus And System Thereof

Abstract

An exercise monitoring device having sensors for monitoring and measuring the physiological and physical parameters of a person during an exercise. The monitored and measured parameters are stored and used in real-time comparison with the same person's performance another time. The monitored and measured parameters of another person in the same exercise may also be used. Real-time monitoring and measuring of the parameters of several people provides the possibility to have virtual competition between people in different locations.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to devices for monitoring physical exercise.BACKGROUND[0002]A sportsman wishing to improve his sports performance would have a goal of beating his past performance. To do so require measurement devices and physical markers, such as a running track indicative of the run distance, a stop watch to measure time.[0003]However, it is difficult for any sportsman to monitor his own progress while he is concentrating on the exercise. Only when he has finished with the exercise could he check the time, or other measurement parameters, to review his performance; the sportsman does not have a real time indication of his present performance. Therefore, the sportsman is unable to push himself at specific crucial moments during the exercise to exceed his past performance, unless he had specific help. For example, an assistant could be placed at specific locations along a running track to shout out to the sportsman his time. In this way, the...

Problems solved by technology

However, it is difficult for any sportsman to monitor his own progress while he is concentrating on the exercise.

Therefore, the sportsman is unable to push himself at specific crucial moments during the exercise to exceed his past performance, unless he had specific help.

Furthermore, unless the sportsman shares the same running track and timing facilities with other sportsmen at the same time, it is impossible for the sportsman to compete with the other sportsmen.
