Abstract

Some embodiments implement a method for an electronic feedback loop based on data generated by at least one bike power sensor. The method can include generating, by an exertion sensor data processor based on the one or more electronic files, data indicating training phases for a race season, wherein each of the training phases define swim workouts, bike workouts, and run workouts. The method can also include receiving, by the exertion sensor data processor via the electronic network, an electronic exertion data file indicating power output detected by the bike power sensor. The method can also include modifying, by the exertion sensor data processor, at least one of the swim workouts, bike workouts, or run workouts based on the power output detected by the bike power sensor.

Claims

1. A method for implementing an electronic feedback loop based on exertion data derived from one or more exertion sensors, the method comprising:

receiving, by an exertion sensor data processor over an electronic communications network, at least one electronic exertion data file including exertion data derived from one or more exertion sensors including a bicycle power meter, wherein the exertion data indicates exertion of an athlete for one or more workouts of a workout schedule;

computing, by the exertion sensor data processor, an actual stress level for the one or more workouts, wherein the computing is based on the exertion data derived from the exertion sensors including the bicycle power meter;

querying, by the exertion sensor data processor, an electronic database for the workout schedule, wherein the workout schedule includes a prescribed stress level for the one or more workouts, and wherein the workout schedule includes future workouts;

determining, by the exertion sensor data processor, that the actual stress level is less than the prescribed stress level;

in response to determining that the actual stress level is less than the prescribed stress level, modifying the future workouts included in the workout schedule; and

transmitting, over the electronic communications network, an electronic workout data file including the modified future workouts for presentation on a remote display device.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

converting the exertion data from a first electronic data format to a second electronic data format, wherein the second electronic data format is natively processable by the exertion sensor data processor.

3. The method of claim 1 the method further comprising:

generating, by the exertion sensor data processor, the workout schedule including the one or more workouts and the future workouts, wherein the constructing includes;

querying the electronic database for a race date, race performance goal, and athlete capability parameters;

determining a number of weeks between a current date and the race date;

for each week of the number of weeks

determining, by the workout processor, a prescribed stress level for the week;

generating by the workout processor, workouts for the week, where the workouts subject an athlete to the prescribed stress level for the week;

storing the workout schedule in the electronic database.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the bike power meter is part of a cycling trainer.

5. A method for implementing an electronic feedback loop based on data generated by at least one bike power sensor, the method comprising:

receiving, by a exertion sensor data processor via an electronic network, one or more electronic files indicating a race date, race bike duration, race run duration, and race swim duration;

generating, by the exertion sensor data processor based on the one or more electronic files, data indicating training phases for a race season, wherein each of the training phases define swim workouts, bike workouts, and run workouts;

receiving, by the exertion sensor data processor via the electronic network, an electronic exertion data file indicating power output detected by the bike power sensor;

determining, by the exertion sensor data processor, an actual stress level for one or more of the bike workouts based on the power output detected by the bike power sensor;

modifying, by the exertion sensor data processor based on the actual stress level, at least one of the swim workouts, bike workouts, or run workouts of at least one of the training phases for the race season.

6. The method of claim 5, where the bike power sensor is part of a cycling trainer.

7. The method of claim 5, where the bike power sensor used in concert with a cycling trainer.

8. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

receiving, by the exertion sensor data processor via the electronic network, an electronic exertion data file indicating run exertion detected by a run exertion sensor.

determining, by the exertion sensor data processor, an actual stress level for one or more of the run workouts based on the run exertion detected by the run exertion sensor.

9. A computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for implementing an electronic feedback loop based on exertion data derived from one or more exertion sensors, the instructions comprising:

instructions to receive, by an exertion sensor data processor over an electronic communications network, at least one electronic exertion data file including exertion data derived from one or more exertion sensors including a bicycle power meter, wherein the exertion data indicates exertion of an athlete for one or more workouts of a workout schedule;

instructions to compute, by the exertion sensor data processor, an actual stress level for the one or more workouts, wherein the computing is based on the exertion data derived from the exertion sensors including the bicycle power meter;

instructions to query, by the exertion sensor data processor, an electronic database for the workout schedule, wherein the workout schedule includes a prescribed stress level for the one or more workouts, and wherein the workout schedule includes future workouts;

instructions to determine, by the exertion sensor data processor, that the actual stress level is less than the prescribed stress level;

instructions to, in response to the determining that the actual stress level is less than the prescribed stress level, modify the future workouts included in the workout schedule; and

instructions to transmit, over the electronic communications network, an electronic workout data file including the modified future workouts for presentation on a remote display device.

10. The computer readable storage medium of claim 9, the instructions further comprising:

instructions to convert the exertion data from a first electronic data format to a second electronic data format, wherein the second electronic data format is natively processable by the exertion sensor data processor.

11. The computer readable storage medium of claim 9, the instructions further comprising:

instructions to generate, by the exertion sensor data processor, the workout schedule including the one or more workouts and the future workouts, wherein the instructions to generate include;

instructions to query the electronic database for a race date, race performance goal, and athlete capability parameters;

instructions to determine a number of weeks between a current date and the race date;

instrutcions to, for each week of the number of weeks,

determine, by the workout processor, a prescribed stress level for the week;

generate by the workout processor, workouts for the week,

where the workouts subject an athlete to the prescribed stress level for the week;

instructions to store the workout schedule in the electronic database.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the bike power meter is part of a cycling trainer.
