Novel systems for integration of audio stimuli and physiologically ameliorative protocols

Novel systems for integration of audio stimuli and physiologically ameliorative protocols description/claims

This application claims full Paris Convention priority of U.S. Ser. No. 60/878340, filed 3 Jan. 2007, and incorporates the same expressly by reference as if fully set forth herein.

1. Field of the Disclosure

This disclosure relates to systems for providing cadence and fitness training to those wishing to improve their response to, among other things, the stress of exercise, recovery from cardiovascular injury, recovery from orthopedic injury, control of diabetes and other vascular diseases, and other health, fitness and medical application. In particular, the disclosure relates to a number of systems and business methods to utilize conventional delivery systems for music, for example, in ways that have neither been contemplated, practiced or described which constitute progress in science and the useful arts. Likewise, the present invention discloses unique pre-synchronized cadence systems for athletes and others requiring cardiovascular and other medically-required exercise, audible in combination with other tools from the Internet.

2. General Background

Many attempts have been made to make athletes and others able to train to optimize their respective performances over time. However, given the technology that today can accept, store and array euphonious auditory stimuli, a paradigm shift has been made by the advent of the instant teachings. Namely, by leveraging off of the music delivery systems for personalized use (e.g. the iPod® and iPod nano® brands of devices available from Apple computers®, for example) the present inventor has developed systems to optimize physiological response, to develop desired cadences and capacities for endurance, and to enable those wishing to use music to improve or stimulate their exercise or their need to exercise to have a new arsenal of tools.

Within the context of this specification the term music delivery systems denotes those conventional and after-developed technologies allowing users to harvest, capture, arrange, store and replay desired audio stimuli, comprising the exemplary systems set forth above and those described below as would be known to artisans.

Those skilled in the audio arts will be aware of the multiplicity of platforms, systems and storage media implicated by the above definitional structure, and how any number of such systems could be interchanged with those exemplary and non-limiting embodiments set forth herein. This combination of conventional systems is within the ambit of the present invention.

It is respectfully submitted that the teachings of the present invention solve the longstanding need to provide a numbers of ways that music and related stimuli can be used in synchrony with physiological signatures, responses and feedback cycles based on science available today to solve a series of unrequited needs.

Briefly stated, improved systems and methods allow users to employ audio stimuli to provide a desired cadence set, series of pre-arranged and programmed stress inducing or mitigating periods, in combination with other desired parameters to achieve tangible and useful results. Conventional music delivery systems function in complement with the instant teachings, as do the business methods and related kits which are disclosed.

According to features of the present disclosure there are provided, among other things, a method for improving physiological output, which comprises, in combination, arraying a plurality of harmoniously euphonious data sets (musical tracks) having at least a desired cadence set in a medium from which they can be retrieved, providing a music delivery system capable of at least one of reading, playing, storing, housing and arraying said musical tracks embodying at least a desired cadence set, loading at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set onto the music delivery system, playing the at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set for a time interval while exercising, and repeating any of the above steps, including using the Internet, any “wiki-models”, open source or other content screening, storing or euphonious systems.

According to embodiments of the present invention there is provided a method to enable a human to improve physiological output, which comprises, in combination; arraying a plurality of harmoniously euphonious audio data sets, perceptible as music tracks having at least a desired cadence set in a medium from which they can be retrieved, providing a music delivery system capable of at least one of reading, playing storing, housing and arraying said musical tracks embodying at least a desired cadence set, loading at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set onto the music delivery system, delivering for playing at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set for a time interval during at least one activity selected from the group consisting of exercising, recovering from a physical or mental challenge, and engaging in a proactive health maintenance program, and repeating any of the above steps.

According to embodiments of the present invention there is provided an apparatus, housing a plurality of harmoniously euphonious audio data sets, perceptible as music tracks having at least a desired cadence set in a medium from which they can be retrieved, provided to a music delivery system capable of at least one of reading, playing storing, and arraying said musical tracks embodying at least a desired cadence set, loaded with at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set for playing at least one of said musical tracks embodying said at least a cadence set for a time interval during at least one activity selected from the group consisting of exercising, recovering from a physical or mental challenge, and engaging in a proactive health maintenance program.

According to features of the present disclosures, there are provided multiple iterations of readily accessible fitness promoting, improving and optimizing systems and processes, as will be useful for those having a modicum of skill in the art.
