Benefits of technology

[0004]The following presents a simplified summary of the present disclosure in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key or critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention. The following summary merely presents some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description provided below.

Problems solved by technology

While most people appreciate the importance of physical fitness, many have difficulty finding the motivation required to maintain a regular exercise program.
Some people find it particularly difficult to maintain an exercise regimen that involves continuously repetitive motions, such as running, walking and bicycling.
However, certain exercise metrics for athletes are assessed in formal lab-based settings, and using cumbersome equipment to monitor an individual while he / she exercises at a fixed location (e.g. on a treadmill or stationary bike).
As such, these exercise metrics may not be readily available to the general population.

Embodiment Construction

[0035]Aspects of this disclosure involve obtaining, storing, and / or processing athletic data relating to the physical movements of an athlete. The athletic data may be actively or passively sensed and / or stored in one or more non-transitory storage mediums. Still further aspects relate to using athletic data to generate an output, such as for example, calculated athletic attributes, feedback signals to provide guidance, and / or other information. These and other aspects will be discussed in the context of the following illustrative examples of a personal training system.

[0036]In the following description of the various embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration various embodiments in which aspects of the disclosure may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and functional modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of t...

Abstract

Aspects relate to a portable device that may be used to identify a critical intensity and an anaerobic work capacity of an individual. The device may utilize muscle oxygen sensor data, speed data, or power data. The device may utilize data from multiple exercise sessions, or may utilize data from a single exercise session. The device may additionally estimate a critical intensity from a previous race time input from a user.
