Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of running equipment selection, and in particular to an intelligent system and method for selecting equipment for female runners. Background Technology

[0002] Running is a simple and efficient aerobic exercise that can improve people's cardiopulmonary function and burn a lot of calories to achieve weight loss. However, improper running arrangements and inappropriate running equipment can cause burdens and even injuries. Therefore, people generally monitor their condition and maintain a suitable state by using invention patents such as the novel foot movement monitoring system disclosed in patent announcement number CN104490398B and the wireless control system for smart bracelets disclosed in patent announcement number CN119488274B.

[0003] However, existing monitoring systems are limited in function, only able to monitor during running. They are not capable of accurately customizing running plans and equipment selection schemes based on the female user's recent condition and running environment before running, as well as providing emergency measures. This results in poor practicality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent system and method for selecting equipment for female runners to improve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
