METHODS FOR PROMOTING FITNESS IN CONNECTION WITH ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY DATA
First Claim
1. A method of implementing a task assessment protocol, the method comprising:
- selecting an exercise task to be performed;
breaking the exercise task to be performed into smaller units;
associating data of the exercise task with a reward using a reward system;
gathering subject muscle data and/or heart data into a database for each unit performed; and
providing awards to the subject for each unit completed based on the muscle data of the subject.

Abstract
A task assessment protocol configured to utilize modified operant conditioning to incentivize physical fitness through rewards associated with units of effort including the steps of selecting the task to be performed, breaking the task to be performed into smaller units, associating the data with a reward using a reward system, gathering subject data into a database for each unit performed, and providing awards to the subject for each unit completed wherein rewards are diversified through monetary based rewards and social capital based rewards. Sensors can be worn to monitor the progress of the subject participating in an activity, competition, or challenge, and the method can provide real time feedback of data gathered to the subject.

15. A competition assessment protocol comprising:
-
establishing an exercise competition between a plurality of subjects; gathering muscle data for each of the plurality of subjects; comparing the data for each subject with at least one other subject; and enabling at least one subject access to the data of two or more of the subjects as it is being compared. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A method for providing incentives to a subject to encourage progress towards a muscle activity goal, comprising:
-
gathering data from a sensor worn by a subject during a muscular activity increment; determining the performance exerted by the subject; associating completion, performance, and improvement during the increment, of a subject with a reward system based on a subject'"'"'s predetermined long-term goal; and providing incentive to continue progress toward the predetermined long-term goal by assigning rewards to the subject. - View Dependent Claims (20)
