Title: Exercise regime management tool
Abstract: A method is presented for managing an exercise regime. The method may include developing a plan for an exercise regime and transmitting the plan to one or more client computers. The client computer may be associated with a user. The client computer may acquire performance-related data from the user during execution of the plan, and may transmit the acquired data to a server in communication therewith. The server may analyze the performance-related data to verify that predetermined expected performance values are reached, and may modify the plan according to the analysis. The modified plan may then be provided to the client computer. (end of abstract)

Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
  monitor keywords BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Many training devices exist to help athletes improve their performance. The more innovative of these devices allow athletes to practice against a recorded workout which describes a series of activities to be performed, such as a sequence of distances or times or heart rates. These devices typically include data relating to one or more performance attributes of the athlete during training. These devices also typically include a notification mechanism that signals the athlete that he or she is ahead or behind their desired target values. Some online services also provide tailored training plans.

In any case, such systems typically require a workout to be defined in advance of a training session, and a post-workout analysis to be performed on data acquired from the athlete during training. An exemplary training session is shown in FIG. 1. In this example, the athlete runs a first 1,000 meters at a planned pace. The athlete then begins to experience difficulties maintaining the pace. The athlete\'s performance worsens during the next 400 meters.

During the training session, the athlete must decide whether to continue to try to follow the predefined training program, or to reduce the pace during the initial 1000 meter distance, or during the subsequent 400 meter distance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the invention provide exercise regime management tools.

In one embodiment, a method for managing an exercise regime in accordance with the present invention may include developing a plan for an exercise regime and transmitting the plan to one or more client computers. The client computer may be associated with a user. The client computer may acquire performance-related data from the user during execution of the plan, and may transmit the acquired data to a server in communication therewith. The server may analyze the performance-related data to verify that predetermined expected performance values are reached, and may modify the plan according to the analysis. The modified plan may then be provided to the client computer.

A corresponding computer program product and system are also disclosed and claimed herein.
