Portable fitness monitoring systems with displays and applications thereof
First Claim
1. A method of providing training feedback to an individual using a portable fitness device and a sensor in communication with the fitness device, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) defining a range of performance parameter values;
(b) wirelessly transmitting performance data from the sensor to the fitness device during a physical activity;
(c) requesting feedback from the individual about the physical activity; and
(d) selectively adjusting the range of performance parameter values based on feedback received from the individual.

Abstract
Portable fitness monitoring systems with displays, and applications thereof, are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of providing training feedback to an individual using a heart rate sensor and a display module supported by the individual during a physical activity, the method including the steps of: (a) determining a maximum heart rate value for the individual; (b) defining a heart rate zone as a range of heart rate values that correspond to a range of percentages of the maximum heart rate value; (c) associating a color with the heart rate zone; (d) wirelessly transmitting heart rate data from the heart rate sensor to the display module during the physical activity; and (e) visually displaying the color associated with the heart rate zone to the individual on the display module during the physical activity in response to the heart rate data.
