Controlling of fitness exercise
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling recovery of a person from a fitness exercise having an exercise workload performed by him/her, comprising:
- controlling a recovery exercise following the fitness exercise so that the recovery exercise is performed at a heart rate or at heart rates below a threshold value of the heart rate, wherein the heart has a temporal variation of heart beats and an expected moment at which the heart should beat, and wherein said heart rate variation is the temporal variation in heart beats around the expected moments at which the heart should beat;
wherein said person has a body, a heart, a physical condition and a maximal oxygen uptake, and wherein said body has an amount of lactate and a lactate concentration and said heart has a heart beat having an actual moment or actual moments and an expected moment;
wherein the threshold value of the heart rate is below the level at which lactate is formed and corresponds to a heart rate variation of between 3 to 8 ms, and wherein the recovery exercise reduces the amount of lactate in the body.

Abstract
A heart rate measuring arrangement for controlling a recovery exercise of a person from a fitness exercise which measures the heart rate, forms control information, and displays the formed control information so that the recovery exercise is performed at a controlled heart rate level.

24. A heart rate measuring arrangement, comprising:
-
measuring means for measuring a heart rate of a person to obtain heart rate information to control a recovery exercise, wherein said person has a maximum heart rate and said heart rate has a heart rate variation, and wherein said heart rate variation is the temporal variation in heart beats around the expected moments at which the heart should beat;
forming means for forming control information from the heart rate information, wherein the forming means is a calculation unit of a heart rate monitor, and wherein the calculation unit is arranged to locate a change point of the heart rate variation from the heart rate information obtained by measuring and use said change point for forming control information, and display means for presenting the formed control information, wherein said person has a body, a heart, a physiology, a physical condition and a maximal oxygen uptake, wherein said body has an amount of lactate, a lactate concentration, a lactate production rate in a muscle or muscles, a lactate removal rate from the muscle or muscles, a blood volume into which the lactate from the muscle or muscles is dispersed and a threshold level of the lactate concentration at which the recovery exercise can be finished, wherein the heart has a heart beat having an actual moment or actual moments and an expected moment, wherein the calculation unit is arranged to control the recovery exercise so that it is performed at a heart rate or at heart rates below a threshold value of the heart rate, wherein the threshold value of the heart rate is below the level at which lactate is formed and corresponds to a heart rate variation of between 3 to 8 ms, and wherein the recovery exercise reduces the amount of lactate in the body. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
