Abstract

The present invention provides a computerized interactive training method and system for receiving a user data including physical user data, medical history data and athletic goal data for the user. The method and system further includes determining a baseline data set for the user and generating a training routine for the user based on the baseline data set and the user data, including selecting a plurality of exercises for the user directed towards the athletic goal data. The method and system further includes determining a network of related users electronically networked via a networking interface, transmitting the training routine to the user and notifying the related users of the training routine. The method and system provides for receiving training feedback data from the user, including exercise-specific information and sharing the training feedback data with fellow community users.

Claims

1. A computerized interactive training method, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of user data for a user, the user data including physical user data, medical history data and athletic goal data for the user;

determining a baseline data set for the user based on the user data;

generating a training routine for the user based on the baseline data set and the user data, including selecting, from a data set of exercises, a plurality of exercises for the user, the exercises directed towards the athletic goal data;

determining a network of related users electronically networked via a networking interface, where the related users are related based on the athletic goal;

transmitting the training routine to the user and notifying the related users of the training routine via the networking interface;

receiving training feedback data from the user, including exercise-specific information; and

sharing the training feedback data with fellow community users across the networking interface.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving physical activity data relating to the user for the performance of a plurality of baseline exercises; and

determining the baseline data set for the user based on the physical activity data.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the generating the training routine includes selecting the exercises for the user based sport-specific medical data, including injury prevention data.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

transmitting a plurality of visual training displays to the user, the visual training displays including visual representations of one or more of the set of exercises.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving video feedback of the user performing the exercise as training feedback data; and

electronically comparing the video feedback of the user relative a visual representation of the exercise.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the training routine includes electronically transmitting a daily regiment of the training routine to the user and sharing the training feedback data includes posting the training feedback data on the networking interface.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the networking interface is a social gaming and network platform allowing community users to electronically communicate thereacross, the method further comprising:

providing one or more incentives to the community of users based on the communication of training data made electronically available on the social network platform.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

modifying the one or more incentives to the community of users based at least on the training feedback data.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

modifying the training routine based on the training feedback data and at least one of the physical user data, medical history data, and athletic goal data for the user;

updating the training routine for the user based on the modification to the training routine; and

transmitting the updated training routine to the user.

10. A system for interactive training, the system comprising:

a computer readable medium having executable instructions stored therein; and

a least one computer processing device, in response to the executable instructions, operative to;

receive a plurality of user data for a user, the user data including physical user data, medical history data and athletic goal data for the user;

determine a baseline data set for the user based on the user data;

generate a training routine for the user based on the baseline data set and the user data, including selecting, from a data set of exercises, a plurality of exercises for the user, the exercises directed towards the athletic goal data;

determine a network of related users electronically networked via a networking interface, where the related users are related based on the athletic goal;

transmit the training routine to the user and notifying the related users of the training routine via the networking interface;

receive training feedback data from the user, including exercise-specific information; and

share the training feedback data with fellow community users across the networking interface.

11. The system of claim 10, the processing device, in response to further executable instructions, operative to:

receive physical activity data relating to the user for the performance of a plurality of baseline exercises; and

determine the baseline data set for the user based on the physical activity data.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the generating the training routine includes selecting the exercises for the user based sport-specific medical data, including injury prevention data.

13. The system of claim 10, the processing device, in response to further executable instructions, operative to:

transmit a plurality of visual training displays to the user, the visual training displays including visual representations of one or more of the set of exercises.

14. The system of claim 10, the processing device, in response to further executable instructions, operative to:

receive video feedback of the user performing the exercise as training feedback data; and

electronically compare the video feedback of the user relative a visual representation of the exercise.

15. The system of claim 10, wherein transmitting the training routine includes electronically transmitting a daily regiment of the training routine to the user and sharing the training feedback data includes posting the training feedback data on the networking interface.

16. The system of claim 10, wherein the networking interface is a social network platform allowing community users to electronically communicate thereacross, the processing device, in response to further executable instructions, operative to:

provide electronic incentive to the community of users based on the communication of training data made electronically available on the social network platform.

17. The system of claim 16, the processing device further operative to modify the one or more incentives to the community of users based at least on the training feedback data.

18. The system of claim 10, the processing device, in response to further executable instructions, operative to:

modify the training routine based on the training feedback data and at least one of the physical user data, medical history data, and athletic goal data for the user;

update the training routine for the user based on the modification to the training routine; and

transmit the updated training routine to the user.

19. Computer readable media comprising program code that when executed by a programmed processing device causes the execution of interactive training method comprising:

computer program code for receiving a plurality of user data for a user, the user data including physical user data, medical history data and athletic goal data for the user;

computer program code for determining a baseline data set for the user based on the user data;

computer program code for generating a training routine for the user based on the baseline data set and the user data, including selecting, from a data set of exercises, a plurality of exercises for the user, the exercises directed towards the athletic goal data;
