System and method for functional state and/or performance assessment and training program adjustment
First Claim
1. A method for a portable electronic device to interact with at least one user borne sensor electrode to combine sensed data with user input goal data to generate a training session target, comprising the steps of:
- detecting, by the portable electronic device, input specifying user goal data, the goal data including a type of activity for the user, and storing the goal data in memory;
detecting, by the portable electronic device, bio-signal data sensed from at least one sensor electrode that is positioned at an appropriate location on the user, for a heart rate variability (HRV) assessment of a current functional state of the user, and storing the detected HRV bio-signal data in memory;
processing, by the portable electronic device or another device in communication with the portable electronic device, an HRV assessment of the detected HRV bio-signal data to generate a first index parameter indicative of the state of a first body system of the user that corresponds to the HRV assessment, and storing the first index parameter in memory;
generating, by the portable electronic device or another device in communication with the portable electronic device, a session target for a given user training session that is based on retrieved user goal data and the first index parameter, the session target including a first session target value and a second session target value; and
generating, by the portable electronic device, and displaying on a screen thereof, a visual indication of the first and the second session target values;
wherein the first body system is the autonomic nervous system and the first and second session target values are based, at least in part, on the relative levels of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system of that user;
wherein the first session target value is an intensity target and the second session target value is a volume target; and
wherein the session target generating step further includes decreasing the volume target more than the intensity target when the parasympathetic level is high relative to the sympathetic level and decreasing the intensity target more than the volume target when the sympathetic level is high relative to the parasympathetic level.

Abstract
A system and method for training program generation and modification based on user input goal data and assessed functional state and/or workload performance. A user-interface preferably operating on a mobile device permits a user to record bio-signals indicative of functional state. Assessments are performed on the received bio-signal data to produce training session targets based on the current functional state of the user. Workload performance may be monitored and the training session targets modified based on measured past performance to improve future performance. Various embodiments are disclosed.
