Abstract

Improved systems and methods allow users to employ audio stimuli to provide a desired cadence set, series of pre-arranged and programmed stress inducing or mitigating periods, in combination with other desired parameters to allow users to recover from disease or bodily injury by following a prescribed methodology from a healthcare provider, or others, or to increase or enhance fitness. Conventional music delivery systems function in complement with the instant teachings, as do the business methods and related kits which are disclosed.

Claims

1. A method to enable a human to improve physiological output, which comprises, in combination:

arraying a plurality of harmoniously euphonious audio data sets, perceptible as music tracks having at least a desired cadence set in a medium from which they can be retrieved;

providing a music delivery system capable of at least one of reading, playing storing, housing and arraying said musical tracks embodying at least a desired cadence set;

loading at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set onto the music delivery system;

delivering for playing at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set for a time interval during at least one activity selected from the group consisting of exercising, recovering from a physical or mental challenge, and engaging in a proactive health maintenance program; and

repeating any of the above steps.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of said steps is performed on-line.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein a user subscribes for a fee to the service.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein a user is given access with at least a password to a web-site linked set of choices and selections and performs at least one of the steps by making selections from at least a menu on the web-site.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising at least an interface enabling tracking of a user'"'"'s progress and communication with at least one of a health care provider, personal trainer and fitness adviser and others.

6. A process for generating and delivering a set of training musical tracks comprising, in combination:

offering a plurality of songs each linked to a cadence;

combining them in a vehicle enabling them to be played; and

supplying them to a purchaser.

7. The process of claim 6, whereby the songs are customized or quasi-customized before linking them to said cadence.

8. The process of claims 7,, wherein the vehicle is compatible with known music delivery systems.

9. A product, produced by the process of claims 8.

10. A product produced by the process of claim 8, offered with input from at least one of a healthcare provider, personal health and fitness trainer, and other person who is supporting recovery from illness, bodily injury, physical or mental challenge or ageing.

11. An apparatus, housing a plurality of harmoniously euphonious audio data sets, perceptible as music tracks having at least a desired cadence set in a medium from which they can be retrieved, provided to a music delivery system capable of at least one of reading, playing storing, and arraying said musical tracks embodying at least a desired cadence set, loaded with

at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set for playing at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set for a time interval during at least one activity selected from the group consisting of exercising, recovering from a physical or mental challenge, and engaging in a proactive health maintenance program.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the apparatus is portable, wireless and attaches to at least one of a body part, medical sporting or leisure device glasses, and an article of clothing.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, said medical sporting or leisure device further comprising:

a bicycle, cane, crutch, I-V pole, monitor, treadmill, skull, weight training machine, shoe, ski, surfboard, wakeboard, water-ski or elliptical trainer.
