Recommending an exercise activity for a user

Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable mediums for recommending an exercise activity for a user are provided. In a particular embodiment, the recommendation evaluation controller is configured to match a generated motion pattern that is based on sensed motion a user with a stored motion pattern selected from a plurality of stored motion patterns, where each stored motion pattern corresponds to a particular exercise activity. In the particular embodiment, the recommendation evaluation controller is also configured to identifying, based on the selected stored motion pattern and an historical exercise activity record for the user, by the recommendation evaluation controller, a recommended exercise activity for the user to perform. In the particular embodiment, the recommendation evaluation controller is also configured to provide an indication of the recommended exercise activity.
