Abstract
A physical activity data collection unit includes one or more infrared sensors configured to provide an output indicative of a pulse rate of a user of the physical activity data collection unit, at least one temperature sensor configured to provide an output indicative of at least a body temperature of the user, and at least one accelerometer configured to provide an output indicative of movements of the user, The physical activity data collection unit can also include a microcontroller configured to determine a pulse rate, a body temperature, and movement characteristics of the user of the data collection unit based on outputs from the one or more infrared sensors, the at least one temperature sensor, and the at least one accelerometer; determine a physical exertion level of the user based on one or more of the pulse rate, the body temperature, or the movement characteristics of the user; and store, in a memory, data indicative of the physical exertion level during a time period during which the physical exertion level exceeds a predetermined threshold.

24. A physical activity data collection unit, including:
-
two or more infrared sensors arranged on the data collection unit such that hen the data collection unit is worn by a user, the two or more infrared sensors are positioned adjacent to a wrist of the user, the two or more infrared sensors each being configured to provide an output indicative of a pulse rate of the user of the physical activity data collection unit; at least one temperature sensor configured to provide an output indicative of at least a body temperature of the user; at least one accelerometer configured to provide an output indicative of movements of the user; and microcontroller configured to; determine a physical exertion level of the user based on the outputs of the two or more infrared sensors and also based on at least one of the output provided by the at least one temperature sensor and the output provided by the at least one accelerometer; and if the determined physical exertion level exceeds a predetermined threshold, store, in a memory, data indicative of the physical exertion level of the user and data indicative of an amount of time the physical exertion level of the user exceeds the predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
