Portable fitness monitoring systems with displays and applications thereof
First Claim
1. A method of providing training feedback to an individual using a performance parameter sensor and a display module supported by the individual during a physical activity, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining a maximum performance parameter value for the individual;
(b) defining a performance parameter zone as a range of performance parameter values that correspond to a range of percentages of the maximum performance parameter value;
(c) associating a color with the performance parameter zone;
(d) wirelessly transmitting performance parameter data from the performance parameter sensor to the display module during the physical activity;
(e) displaying the color associated with the performance parameter zone to the individual on the display module during the physical activity in response to the performance parameter data;
(f) transmitting performance parameter data from the display module to a remote computer after the physical activity;
(g) requesting feedback from the individual about the physical activity; and
(h) adjusting the range of performance parameter values that make up the performance parameter zone based upon at least one of feedback received from the individual and the performance parameter data.

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 includes the steps of determining a maximum heart rate value for the individual, 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, associating a color with the heart rate zone, wirelessly transmitting heart rate data from the heart rate sensor to the display module during the physical activity, and 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.
