Abstract
Systems and methods for prescribing athletic activity to be performed by a user, and for adapting the prescribed athletic activity based on completed (e.g. ongoing) athletic performances by the user. A coaching plan may be automatically created that prescribes personalized athletic activities as a user trains towards a goal date. The athletic information may be received from one or more sensor devices associated with a user, and the coaching plan may be continuously or intermittently updated based on the received sensor data.
Claims19
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- a user interface;
- a sensor configured to capture data indicative of motion of a user;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to perform at least:
- transmitting, using the user interface, a request for the user to complete a benchmark training test, wherein the benchmark training test includes a single training test during which the user is instructed to train at a self-chosen intensity, for a self-chosen duration;
- receiving motion data from at least one of:
- the sensor during the benchmark training test or during a prior training activity undertaken by the user;
- classifying, based upon at least one of the received motion data or biographic data of the user, the user into one of a plurality of training experience classifications;
- assigning, based upon a selected training experience classification, athletic constants for the user;
- calculating, with the processor and using the received motion data, one or more of a heart rate metric and a rate of perceived exertion metric of the user;
- calculating and updating, with the processor, an adaptive training activity prescription for the user, wherein the adaptive training activity prescription is calculated based upon one or more of:
- the heart rate metric, the rate of perceived exertion metric, the assigned athletic constants, and goal data from the user;
- adapting and outputting, to the user interface, the calculated adaptive training activity prescription for the user during a current training activity, based upon subsequent motion data received from the sensor;
- and
- outputting, to the user interface, two or more training activity options calculated to fulfill a calculated daily training impulse, wherein the two or more training activity options are ranked in order of likelihood that the user will complete the training activity options, based on received completion data from prior events.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor are configured to perform at least:
- transmitting, using a user interface, a request for a user to complete a benchmark training test, wherein the benchmark training test includes a single training test during which the user is instructed to train at a self-chosen intensity, for a self-chosen duration;
- receiving motion data associated with the user from at least one of:
- sensor data obtained from a sensor during the benchmark training test or sensor data obtained from a sensor during a prior training activity undertaken by the user;
- receiving, from the user interface, biographic data and goal data associated with the user;
- classifying, based on one or more of the received motion data and biographic data, the user into a training experience classification;
- assigning, based on a selected training experience classification, athletic constants for the user;
- calculating with the processor and using the received motion data, one or more of a heart rate metric and a rate of perceived exertion metric of the user;
- calculating and updating, with the processor, an adaptive training activity prescription for the user, wherein the adaptive training activity prescription is calculated based upon the one or more of the heart rate metric and the rate of perceived exertion metric, the assigned athletic constants, and the goal data;
- adapting and outputting, to the user interface, the calculated adaptive training activity prescription for the user during a current training activity, based on subsequent motion data received from a sensor during the user performing the current training activity;
- and
- outputting, to the user interface, two or more training activity options calculated to fulfill a calculated daily training impulse, wherein the two or more training activity options are ranked in order of likelihood that the user will complete the training activity options, based on received completion data from prior events.
