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.

20. 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, the method comprising:
-
determining 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 the earlier performance level to the instant performance level, determining a readiness index according to the said comparison and optionally with background information and training history, providing feedback according to the determined readiness index. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. 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 (37, 38)
