Abstract
A method of determining a desired rest period for a phosphagen regime physical activity of a user includes determining an end of the physical activity and the start of a rest period of the user, and measuring an oxygen consumption during the rest period. The method also includes determining whether the oxygen consumption meets one or more predetermined parameter; and providing an indication if the one or more parameter is met.
Claims23
A method of determining a desired rest period for a phosphagen regime physical activity of less than or equal to 30 seconds of a user, the method comprising:
- determining an end of the physical activity and the start of a rest period of the user;
- measuring an oxygen consumption during the rest period from the end of the physical activity to an end of the rest period;
- determining during said rest period whether said oxygen consumption meets a threshold value of one or more predetermined parameter indicative of an end of the rest period, wherein the predetermined parameter comprises at least one of
- an absolute value of oxygen consumption,
- a rate of change/differential of oxygen consumption,
- a ratio of oxygen consumption and a resting oxygen consumption, and
- a fraction of a maximum of oxygen consumption of the user;
- and
- providing an indication if the one or more parameter is met.
A computer program or computer readable medium comprising program instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out a computer process implementing a method comprising:
- determining an end of the physical activity and the start of a rest period of the user;
- receiving measurements of the oxygen consumption during the rest period from the end of the physical activity to an end of the rest period;
- and
- determining during said rest period whether said oxygen consumption meets a threshold value one or more predetermined parameter indicative of an end of the rest period, wherein the predetermined parameter comprises at least one of
- an absolute value of oxygen consumption,
- a rate of change/differential of oxygen consumption,
- a ratio of oxygen consumption and a resting oxygen consumption, and
- a fraction of a maximum of oxygen consumption of the user;
- and
- providing an indication if the one or more parameter is met.
A device configured to determine a desired rest period for a phosphagen regime physical activity of less than or equal to 30 seconds of a user, the device comprising a controller configured to perform operations comprising:
- determining an end of the physical activity and the start of a rest period of the user;
- receiving measurements of the oxygen consumption during the rest period from the end of the physical activity to an end of the rest period;
- and
- determining during said rest period whether said oxygen consumption meets a threshold value one or more predetermined parameter indicative of an end of the rest period, wherein the predetermined parameter comprises at least one of
- an absolute value of oxygen consumption,
- a rate of change/differential of oxygen consumption,
- a ratio of oxygen consumption and a resting oxygen consumption, and
- a fraction of a maximum of oxygen consumption of the user;
- and
- providing an indication if the one or more parameter is met.
