Abstract

Improvements in a heart rate playback machine to initially monitor heart rate of a person performs cardiovascular exercise. The heart rate is generally monitored by a chest strap that is placed around the chest of a user that transmits either the beats or the calculated heart rate. The heart rate can be received by a monitoring device, like a wrist or waist mounted device. The heart rate is recorded while the person is exercising. The machine then convert the heart rate into estimated loads of resistance, speed, elevation or other changes to simulate duplication of the heart rate. The machine uses a reverse algorithm to increase the resistance, speed or elevation prior to the recorded heart rate changes. The recorded heart rate, or the result of the algorithm, is then transportable or playable on the piece of exercise equipment. The exercise can be scaled to accommodate athletes of a different age or fitness level.

Claims

1. A heart rate playback machine comprising:

a first athlete using a heart rate monitor while said first athlete performs an athletic workout;

said heart rate monitor logs historical heart rate information over a period of said athletic workout;

down loading said logged historical heart rate information, and

using said down loaded logged historical heart rate information at a future time or date to create a workout on a piece of exercise equipment based upon said logged historical heart rate information.

2. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 1 wherein said piece of exercise equipment is selected from a group consisting of a treadmill, a stationary bicycle, rowing machine or a stepping machine.

3. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 2 wherein said exercise equipment change speed, elevation or resistance to re-create said logged historical heart rate information for said first athlete and/or a subsequent athlete.

4. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 3 wherein said exercise equipment is the same type of exercise equipment or a different type of exercise equipment.

5. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 3 wherein said exercise equipment monitors said first athlete and/or a subsequent athlete to compare the heart rate of first athlete and/or a subsequent athlete using said down loaded logged historical heart rate information to alter said speed, elevation or resistance to improve time overlap of real-time heartrate with said loaded logged historical heart rate information.

6. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 1 wherein said logged historical heart rate is transferrable using a wireless connection.

7. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 4 wherein said wireless connection is selected from a group of connections consisting of inductive coupling, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

8. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 1 wherein said logged historical heart rate is scalable based upon a physical fitness level of a subsequent athlete.

9. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 1 wherein said logged historical heart rate is transferrable over an internet connection or with removable memory device.

10. The heart rate playback machine according to claim 1 wherein said heart rate information is transferred to a smart device consisting of a group of a phone, tablet or music player
