Abstract:
1. A real-time exercise coaching system comprising: (a) a heart rate (HR) module to acquire HR parameters; (b) a process unit module to retrieve the HR parameters from the HR module to obtain a HR reading and/or heart rate intensity (HR intensity) and determine a real-time workload status: a sprint or compensating state if the HR reading or HR intensity significantly increases; an aerobic endurance state if the increased HR intensity is fixed within a zone wherein the HR intensity fluctuates between a range about +/−1 to about +/−20% of the average HR intensity of this state; and a dynamic recovery state if the HR intensity decreases about 1% to about 20% than an average HR intensity during the aerobic endurance state for a time period that is longer than that of the sprint or compensating state; and (c) an output module to display the real-time workload status including the sprint, the compensating, the aerobic endurance or the dynamic recovery status.
