Portable Fitness Monitoring Systems With Displays and Applications Thereof
First Claim
1. A method of providing training feedback to an individual using a heart rate sensor and a display module supported by the individual during a physical activity, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining a maximum heart rate value for the individual;
(b) defining a heart rate zone as a range of heart rate values that correspond to a range of percentages of the maximum heart rate value;
(c) associating a color with the heart rate zone;
(d) wirelessly transmitting heart rate data from the heart rate sensor to the display module during the physical activity; and
(e) displaying the color associated with the heart rate zone to the individual on the display module during the physical activity in response to the heart rate data.

Abstract
Portable fitness monitoring systems with displays, and applications thereof, are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of providing training feedback to an individual using a heart rate sensor and a display module supported by the individual during a physical activity includes the steps of determining a maximum heart rate value for the individual, defining a heart rate zone as a range of heart rate values that correspond to a range of percentages of the maximum heart rate value, associating a color with the heart rate zone, wirelessly transmitting heart rate data from the heart rate sensor to the display module during the physical activity, and displaying the color associated with the heart rate zone to the individual on the display module during the physical activity in response to the heart rate data.

10. A fitness monitoring system for providing training feedback to an individual during a physical activity, the system comprising:
-
a heart rate sensor adapted to be worn by the individual during the physical activity, said heart rate sensor comprising a wireless transmitter adapted to wirelessly transmit heart rate data during the physical activity; and a display module adapted to be worn by the individual during the physical activity, said display module comprising; a memory for storing a heart rate zone definition, wherein the heart rate zone definition defines a heart rate zone as a range of heart rate values that correspond to a range of percentages of a maximum heart rate value and associates a color with the heart rate zone; a wireless receiver adapted to wirelessly receive the heart rate data from said heart rate sensor during the physical activity; and a color display adapted to display the color associated with the heart rate zone to the individual during the physical activity in response to the heart rate data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of providing training feedback to an individual using a performance parameter sensor and a display module supported by the individual during a physical activity, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) determining a maximum performance parameter value for the individual; (b) defining a performance parameter zone as a range of performance parameter values that correspond to a range of percentages of the maximum performance parameter value; (c) associating a color with the performance parameter zone; (d) wirelessly transmitting performance parameter data from the performance parameter sensor to the display module during the physical activity; and (e) displaying the color associated with the performance parameter zone to the individual on the display module during the physical activity in response to the performance parameter data. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
