Performance Monitoring Systems and Methods
First Claim
1. A portable performance monitoring device that is capable of being worn or carried by an individual during a physical activity for monitoring the individual'"'"'s performance during the physical activity, the portable performance monitoring device comprising:
- a satellite positioning system receiver adapted to obtain position data during the physical activity;
an accelerometer module adapted to obtain acceleration data during the physical activity; and
a processor adapted to determine performance information for the individual based on the position data and the acceleration data.

Abstract
We have disclosed systems and methods for monitoring an individual'"'"'s performance during a physical activity. The portable performance monitoring devices may include a satellite positioning system receiver adapted to obtain position data during the physical activity, an accelerometer module adapted to obtain acceleration data during the physical activity, and a processor adapted to determine performance information for the individual based on the position data and the acceleration data. The portable performance monitoring devices may be worn or carried by an individual during a physical activity.
