Abstract

A method and apparatus for improving the physical capability of an athlete in a multi-discipline athletic endurance competition including a specially programmed computer implementing the method are provided. The computer generates a normalized performance value of an individual athlete for each of at least two different disciplines of a multi-discipline athletic endurance competition and correlates said normalized performance values to expected competitive performance results for at least one distance of each of said disciplines. An output device operatively connected to the specially programmed computer can further generate an electronically or physically printed exercise program correlated to achieving an incremental improvement in normalized performance values for each of said disciplines within a particular period of time to guide the athlete to improve his/her physical capability.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional applications Ser. No. 61 / 488,084, filed May 19, 2011 and Ser. No. 61 / 646,765, filed May 14, 2012, the disclosures of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein for all purposes without disclaimer.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This application is directed, in general, to a training method and system, and, more specifically, to a system and computer-implemented method for producing individually customized training programs for multi-discipline endurance athletic competitions, such as triathlons.BACKGROUND[0003]Triathlons and other multi-discipline endurance athletic competitions having at least two distinct disciplines are an increasingly important aspect of athletics. One of the biggest challenges is to measure and describe an individual athlete's current performance abilities in each discipline in a meaningful way so that training can be focused and optimized for the best results and most efficient use of av...
