1. A device for use by a user, the device comprising:
- a receiver apparatus configured to;
receive a first signal comprising a measure of one or more exercise parameters of the user at a first time period of an exercise session, the first signal being received from one or more sensors, the one or more exercise parameters comprising at least one of;
a heartrate of the user, a cadence of the user, a speed of the user, and a loft of a first foot of the user;
receive a second signal comprising a measure of the one or more exercise parameters of the user at a second time period of the exercise session, the second time period different from the first time period, the second signal being received from the one or more sensors; and
a processor configured to;
processor configured to;
store the first and second signals in a memory associated to the processor;
generate a fatigue signal based on a comparison of the measured one or more exercise parameters of the first signal to the respective measured one or more exercise parameters of the second signal;
generate an exercise efficiency signal based on a comparison of the measured one or more exercise parameters of the second signal to an a priori exercise parameter threshold;
andcause the exercise efficiency signal and the fatigue signal to be simultaneously displayed on a display device.

Abstract
A device is provided for use by a user, wherein the device includes a first sensor, a second sensor and an efficiency generating component. The first sensor detects a first parameter and generates a first detected signal based on the first detected parameter. The second sensor detects a second parameter and generates a second detected signal based on the second detected parameter. The efficiency generating component generates an efficiency signal based on the first detected signal and the second detected signal.

5. A method comprising:
-
detecting, via a first sensor, a first parameter comprising at least one of;
a heartrate of the user, a cadence of the user, a speed of the user, and a loft of a foot of the user, wherein the first parameter is detected at a first time;generating, via the first sensor, a first detected signal based on the first parameter; detecting, via a second sensor, a second parameter, the second parameter either (i) a different parameter than the first parameter and comprising at least one of;
the heartrate of the user, the cadence of the user, the speed of the user, and the loft of the foot of the user, wherein the second parameter is detected at the first time, or (ii) a same parameter as the first parameter, wherein the second parameter is detected at a second time;generating, via the second sensor, a second detected signal based on the second parameter; and generating, via an efficiency generating component, an efficiency signal; wherein, when the second parameter is a same parameter as the first parameter, the efficiency signal being generated based on a comparison of the first detected signal to the second detected signal; and wherein, when the second detected parameter is a different parameter than the first parameter, the efficiency signal being generated based on a comparison of the first detected signal and the second detected signal to respective predetermined thresholds therefor. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 15, 16, 17)
