Abstract
Systems and methods for prompting a user to perform an exercise and monitoring the exercise are provided. Multiple independent sensors or sensor systems may be used to calculate energy expenditure. Various criteria may be used to manually or automatically select the independent sensor or sensor system or combination that will be used with the energy expenditure calculations.
Claims10
A computer-implemented method for use with a user performing an exercise, comprising:
- monitoring, with a first sensor, athletic activity of the user while performing the exercise;
- monitoring, with a second sensor, the athletic activity of the user while performing the same exercise;
- selecting, by a computer processor, one of the first sensor and the second sensor to calculate an energy expenditure estimate of the user corresponding to the exercise;
- displaying, by a first display device associated with a selected sensor, from the first sensor and the second sensor, the energy expenditure estimate of the user;
- and
- displaying, on a second display device associated with a non-selected sensor, from the first sensor and the second sensor, the same energy expenditure estimate of the user displayed-on the first display device associated with the selected sensor,
- wherein the selecting of the one of the first sensor and the second sensor comprises selecting the first sensor for a first portion of the exercise and the second sensor for a second portion of the exercise.
