Abstract
The invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring one or more athletic performance characteristic and physiological characteristic of a user. An exemplary system includes a first sensing unit adapted to monitor at least one performance characteristic of a user, a second sensing unit adapted to monitor at least one physiological characteristic of the user, and a transmitter for transmitting the at least one performance characteristic and at least one physiological characteristic to a remote receiver that is adapted to identify a relationship between the at least one performance characteristic and the at least one physiological characteristic.

18. A method for monitoring athletic performance and physiological characteristics of a user, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) providing a first sensing unit adapted to monitor at least one performance characteristic of the user, the first sensing unit adapted to be attachable to a shoe of the user, monitoring comprising; gathering, by at least one motion sensor, motion data relating to a movement of a foot of the user, processing, by a processor, the motion data to determine at least one performance characteristic of the user, and transmitting, by a transmitter, a first data package representative of the at least one performance characteristic to a remote receiver, and (b) providing a second sensing unit adapted to monitor a plurality of physiological metrics of the user, the second sensing unit adapted to be at least one of incorporated into an item of apparel of the user and attached to a portion of the user, monitoring comprising; gathering, by a first physiological sensor, first physiological data relating to at least one function of the heart of the user, gathering, by a second physiological sensor, second physiological data relating to at least one of a temperature and a perspiration level of the user, processing, by a processor, the first physiological data and second physiological data to determine at least one physiological characteristic of the user, and transmitting, by a transmitter, a second data package representative of the at least one physiological characteristic to the remote receiver; and (c) identifying, at the remote receiver, a relationship between the at least one performance characteristic and the at least one physiological characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
