1. A computer-readable medium containing instructions for controlling a computing device for analyzing an electronic file containing a time trace of a heart rate of an individual obtained during an exercise regimen that includes at least one exercise session that itself comprises at least one exercise cycle, said instructions comprising:
- instructions to determine at least one cycle parameter from said time trace;
instructions to compute a value based on said at least one cycle parameter; and
instructions to assign said value to a heart wave index, wherein said instructions to determine comprises instructions for statistically fitting a parabola through a portion of said time trace, said fit characterized by at least one goodness of fit parameter.

Abstract
Systems and methods for assessing an individual'"'"'s physiological condition are provided. Cycle and shape parameters are derived from a recorded time trace containing heart rate data collected while an individual performs a cyclic exercise routine. Individually tailored exercise regimens that are based on these parameters are generated and modified as desired.
