Dynamically adaptable stamina sport training program

USPTO Application #: 20070293371
Title: Dynamically adaptable stamina sport training program
Abstract: A stamina sport training program is described, which is computed by way of evaluation of personal training data of a training person. The stamina sport training program is dynamically adapted by way of inputting a training goal and a possible time budget. A training person registers on an interment portal (13) which is connected to a computation device (10). The computation device (10), from readings which are recorded and stored with a measurement device (20) during a training session (2) of the training person, and additional input parameters able to be inputted by the training person, calculates the stamina sport training program of the pending training sessions in the future. On computing the stamina sport training program, the stored readings and input parameters of the implemented training sessions (2) are also taken into account.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention describes an analysis method for evaluating personal training data, in that readings are recorded with a measurement device during the training session, are stored, and after completion of the training session, are transmitted by a transmission unit to a computation device.

STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Various methods, are known in order to read out physiological training parameters of a test person during sports training, store them and use them for setting up a training program.

[0003] The development of portable measurement devices with microprocessors, for determining exertion exposure during sports training, in particular during stamina training, forms the basis for the method according to the invention.

[0004] Such a device is described in EP 0748185 B1. Here, the heart frequency of a training person is measured by way of electrocardiography during the complete exposure phase, for a favorable and simple evaluation and monitoring of the aerobic and anaerobic thresholds. The heart frequency thus serves for monitoring the training effect, since one may train in a controlled manner in the exertion exposure range desired by the person carrying out the training. Apart from storing the readings, these are also displayed on a monitor, so that the person carrying out the training may read off his momentary exertion exposure. Apart from computations of the desired target pulse ranges by the microprocessor and the internal memory of the measurement device before a training session, desired training programs may be programmed by the training person.

[0005] The explained method serves for recording, storing and the display of the readings during a training session. Extensive training programs which apart from target pulse ranges of the training person, also comprise further nominal values, may neither be programmed by way of the disclosed method, nor may they be computed by the measurement device.

[0006] The method of EP 1206306 B1 goes a step further for generating training programs. The disclosed method registers and analyses values, which when carrying out a training session, may be counted and measured, and generates training programs from these. Characteristic parameters are computed for the training person after the input of training data into an input unit. A characteristic profile of a training person is formed from this, and is compared to a standard characteristic profile of a group of training persons, or of an average training person. The standard characteristic profiles originate from a reference data bank. With this, the characteristic profile of a training person is compared to the standard characteristic profile of a group, for generating a training program.

[0007] The conclusions with regard to the performance of a training person are thus referenced only to averaged values of a reference group, by which means no individual training planning matched to the training person, takes place. Furthermore, the method does not take into account any training planning for a competition. Thus no goal-orientated training planning is disclosed, which optimizes and dynamically varies the training programs with regard to the remaining time. The results of the completed training session are merely analyzed by way of comparing the values to a reference data bank. This procedure is sufficient for the broad spectrum of sportspersons who wish to keep fit and would rather carry out their sport without any goals, who attain average performances on account of the averaging method.

[0008] A goal-orientated method is represented in US 2004241629 A1. Here, personal data of a training person such as size, weight, fitness and nutritional habits are inputted together with a goal, such as preparation for a competition or weight reduction, and utilized for determining a training program. A fitness test with a smaller number of exercises is utilized, in order to estimate the fitness level of the training person, in that it is compared to a data bank of fitness levels of a comparison group.

[0009] In order to generate a training program for a cardiovascular system, only the maximal pulse of the training person forms a basis, and the training pulse to be achieved is computed therefrom, depending on the fitness level of the training person which is determined previously. This fitness level must be newly defined by the training person by way of a test, so that it may enter into the generation of the training program. The training program would have to be adapted dynamically to the improved fitness of the training person, for increasing the performance. This however, is only possible with this method if the fitness test for determining the fitness level is carried out after each training session.

[0010] Since the fitness of the training person in this presented method is however also only compared to a comparison data bank, the resulting training program is only tailored to the average training person, and not personally to the training person.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] It is the object of the present invention to provide a method for the dynamic adaptation of a stamina sport training program, which is personally matched to the training person, and is newly computed after each training init. This stamina sport training program, by way of computation to inputted training goals, such as a competition or a desired weight reduction, is adapted to a target weight at a future date.

[0012] The feedback of the attained performances of the training person has a direct influence on the computation of the stamina sport training program.

[0013] Apart from input parameters, readings during the training session are recorded by a measurement device and stored, and after the training session, are sent together to a computation unit for computing the future stamina sport training program. Such a personalized and dynamic stamina sport training program registers the changes in the performance, and a weight reduction of the training person, and the training planning may be matched to the training person in an optimal manner by way of this.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] The invention is hereinafter described in combination with the drawings.

[0015] FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the principle of super-compensation.

[0016] FIG. 2 represents an exemplary heart frequency and speed time curve of a training session.

[0017] FIG. 3 schematically shows the transmission of readings and input values to the computation unit for the computation of the stamina sport training program.

[0018] FIG. 4 illustrates how the stamina sport training program is computed for future training sessions.

DESCRIPTION

[0019] The goal of the stamina sport training is to increase the stamina, which indicates the capability of attaining greater performances over a longer period of time. The stamina sport training has a particularly positive effect on the cardiovascular system of a training person. Further training effects are an improvement of the metabolism, fat burning which is of significance with weight problems and may lead to weight reductions, as well as the strengthening of the immune system. In order for the stamina sport training to be able to be carried out in an effective manner, each training person must train according to a stamina sport training program, which is optimized to attaining the above-mentioned positive effects.
