Performance monitoring devices and methods
First Claim
1. A portable performance monitoring device for monitoring an individual during a physical activity, the portable performance monitoring device comprising:
- a mount adapted to releasably secure the device to the individual'"'"'s wrist during the physical activity;
a heart rate sensor coupled to the mount and adapted to obtain heart rate data during the physical activity;
a satellite positioning system receiver coupled to the mount and adapted to obtain position data during the physical, activity;
an acceleration sensor coupled to the mount and adapted to obtain acceleration data during the physical activity; and
an output coupled to the mount and adapted to output performance information to the individual during the physical activity,wherein the output comprises an audio output adapted to output audio information to the individual during the physical activity, andwherein the portable performance monitoring device further comprises a memory operatively coupled to a processor and storing music data and computer readable instructions, wherein when the computer readable instructions are executed by the processor, the computer readable instructions cause the portable performance monitoring device to output audio information to the individual during the physical activity based on the music data via the audio output.
