Abstract
The invention provides a method of monitoring an activity session comprising receiving activity data indicative of at least one activity performed during the activity session, the activity data comprising a plurality of measurements associated to a plurality of parameters monitored during the activity session; a processor comparing at least some of the received measurements associated to at least two of the parameters with at least one set of a plurality of sets of measurements stored on a tangible computer readable medium; and a processor generating a training plan based at least partly on a comparison between the received measurements and the stored measurements. Other aspects of the invention provide an exercise coaching system.
Claims82
A method of analyzing an activity session comprising:
- receiving activity data indicative of an activity of a user, the activity data comprising a plurality of measurements associated with multiple parameters monitored during the activity session;
- retrieving a set of criteria of a multi-parameter zone that corresponds to an activity type, wherein the set comprises a criterion related to an effort parameter and a criterion related to a resistance parameter;
- classifying, based on the set of criteria of the multi-parameter zone, the received activity data into a plurality of segments, wherein a first segment of the plurality of segments comprises a portion of the activity data corresponding to the activity type;
- accessing historical data associated with the user, the historical data comprising a second segment of historical data corresponding to the activity type;
- comparing, by a processor, the first segment comprising the portion of the received activity data and the second segment comprising historical data;
- and
- generating a training plan based on the comparing.
A non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive activity data indicative of an activity of a user, the activity data comprising a plurality of measurements associated with multiple parameters monitored during the activity session;
- retrieve a set of criteria of a multi-parameter zone that corresponds to an activity type, wherein the set comprises a criterion related to an effort parameter and a criterion related to a resistance parameter;
- classify, based on the set of criteria of the multi-parameter zone, the received activity data into a plurality of segments, wherein a first segment of the plurality of segments comprises a portion of the activity data corresponding to the activity type;
- access historical data associated with the user, the historical data comprising a second segment of historical data corresponding to the activity type;
- compare the first segment comprising the portion of the received activity data and the second segment comprising historical data;
- and
- generate a training plan based on the comparing.
An activity analysis system comprising:
- a display;
- a memory;
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory, the processor to execute instructions to:
- receive activity data indicative of an activity of a user, the activity data comprising a plurality of measurements associated with multiple parameters monitored during the activity session;
- retrieve a set of criteria of a multi-parameter zone that corresponds to an activity type, wherein the set comprises a criterion related to an effort parameter and a criterion related to a resistance parameter;
- classify, based on the set of criteria of the multi-parameter zone, the received activity data into a plurality of segments, wherein a first segment of the plurality of segments comprises a portion of the activity data corresponding to the activity type;
- access historical data associated with the user, the historical data comprising a second segment of historical data corresponding to the activity type;
- compare the first segment comprising the portion of the received activity data and the second segment comprising historical data;
- and
- generate an alert for the user based on the comparing.
An exercise coaching system comprising:
- a data acquisition module adapted to receive activity data indicative of an activity of a user, the activity data comprising a plurality of measurements associated with multiple parameters monitored during the activity session;
- a classification engine adapted to retrieve a set of criteria and classify a portion of the received activity data into a first segment that corresponds an activity type, wherein the set of criteria are for a multi-parameter zone corresponding to the activity type and the set comprises a criterion related to an effort parameter and a criterion related to a resistance parameter;
- and
- a training plan generator adapted access historical data associated with the user, the historical data comprising a second segment of historical data corresponding to the activity type and to generate a training plan based on a comparison between the first segment and the second segment.
