Method to determine body's physiological response to physical exercise for assessing readiness and to provide feedback, and system for implementing the method
First Claim
1. A method for determining a body'"'"'s readiness to respond to physical exercise, using a performance check, and providing feedback to a user, wherein the user starts to perform an exercise and where an earlier performance level is determined in an earlier exercise before the performance check and stored in a memory operably coupled to a data processing unit, the method comprising:
- measuring, by a heart rate sensor, heart rate and determining, by the data processing unit, exercise intensity from measured heart rate, and simultaneously determining the external workload by measuring or inputting manually,determining, by the date processing unit, an instant performance level of the user by a relation of exercise intensity and determined external workload, the exercise intensity being determined by measured heart rate,comparing, by the data processing unit, the earlier performance level stored in the memory, to the instant performance level,determining, by the data processing unit, a readiness index according to the said comparison and, optionally with background information and training history, providing feedback according to the determined readiness index.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a system for determining body'"'"'s readiness to respond to physical exercise and for providing feedback to a user. In the method the user starts to perform an exercise, an earlier performance level is determined before starting a performance check having steps of: an instant performance level of the user is determined, the earlier performance level is compared to the instant performance level, a readiness index is determined according to the said comparison and optionally with background and/or training history of the user, a feedback is given according to the determined readiness index.

17. A system for determining a body'"'"'s readiness to respond to physical exercise and provide feedback to a user, the system comprising:
-
a heart rate sensor configured to measure the heartbeat of the person, the heart rate signal being representative of the heartbeat of the user; at least one sensor to measure an external workload during an exercise, and a data processing unit operably coupled to the said sensors, a memory operably coupled to the data processing unit, the memory configured to save background information of a user, said background data including an earlier performance level;
wherein the data processing unit is configured to;determine an instant performance level of the user by a relation of measured exercise intensity and external workload; calculate frequently an instant performance level of the user by a relation of measured exercise intensity and measured external workload; compare the earlier performance level to the calculated instant performance level; calculate a readiness index according to the said comparison, background information and training history; and provide feedback according to the calculated readiness index. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
