Athletic training system combining cognitive tasks with physical training

A method of operating an athletic training system for providing a plurality of cognitive and physical recovery protocols, comprising:

• receiving through an interface of a computing device user input selecting from a plurality of cognitive and physical recovery options;
• presenting an interface that combines multiple recovery protocols in a single interface;
• capturing at least one physiological metric as part of a recovery evaluation process;
• assessing level of cognitive and physical recovery of a user during a recovery session, wherein assessing the level of physical recovery is performed using a sensor coupled to the computing device, the assessing comprising:
• determining at least one recovery metric based on the input provided by the user and/or the at least one captured physiological metric;
• and
• comparing the at least one recovery metric to at least one stored baseline metric;
• and
• providing a summary of the user's cognitive and physical recovery results.

A method of operating an athletic training system for improving athletic performance by combining cognitive tasks with physical training, the athletic training system comprising a computer hardware processor, a user interface coupled to the computer hardware processor, and a device coupled to the computer hardware processor and configured to receive input while a user is performing a physical task, wherein the method comprises:

• using the computer hardware processor to perform:
• presenting through the user interface cognitive tasks for the user to perform, wherein the presenting comprises generating a cognitive task prompt prompting the user to provide an input through the device;
• assessing cognitive fatigue of the user based on processing the input received through the device in relation to the cognitive task prompt presented through the user interface;
• and
• during a training session, adapting difficulty of the cognitive tasks based on the cognitive fatigue of the user, wherein the adapting comprises modifying the cognitive task to adjust cognitive load for correctly responding to the cognitive task prompt.

An athletic training system for improving athletic performance by combining cognitive tasks with physical training, the system comprising:

• a user input device, wherein the user input device comprises a pushbutton and/or is integrated into a glove;
• a computer configured to receive messages from the user input device, the computer comprising:
• at least one processor;
• a user interface;
• and
• non-transitory computer-storage medium storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method of cognitive training, via the user interface display of the computer and the user input device, the method comprising:
• receiving, via a first interface, input selecting from among a plurality of cognitive and physical workout options including a first workout and a second workout, wherein the first workout includes at least a cognitive workout, and wherein the second workout includes at least a physical workout;
• providing output, via a second interface, guiding a user through cognitive and physical tasks within a same workout, wherein performing the cognitive tasks comprises user action with the user input device;
• assessing cognitive and physical fatigue based on one or more inputs, wherein assessing cognitive fatigue comprises processing inputs received through the user input device in conjunction with output guiding the user through the cognitive tasks;
• and
• computing physical and cognitive metrics based on results of the user performing the physical and cognitive tasks.
