REAL-TIME EXERCISE COACHING SYSTEM
First Claim
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

Abstract
The invention provides a real-time exercise coaching system on the basis of that the whole exercise course could be subdivided into 4 basic components: sprint (anaerobic or speeding), aerobic endurance (balancing aerobic endurance), compensating (compensating O2 debt), and dynamic recovery. The real-time exercise coaching system of the invention enables a user to realize his/her current physiological state and change of fitness condition and then the user can further decide which action (sprint, aerobic endurance, and dynamic recovery) is to be taken next. The system of the invention instantly and continuously provides information that assesses a user'"'"'s current physiological state during exercising in view of the exercise situations and the environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, altitude and air quality).
