Wearable device for tracking training load and effect
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230414143A1) describes a wearable electronic device designed to be worn by a user. The device includes a display, a memory with historical user information, a heart rate sensor that generates a photoplethysmography signal, and a processor that calculates exercise intensity information using heart rate data. The processor also determines aerobic and anaerobic training loads and effects, identifies intensity categories, and controls the display to show these categories to the user. Additionally, the device can be a smartwatch, wrist-top computer, or mobile phone, and may include a GPS receiver for location information to further enhance performance tracking.
Furthermore, the device can update historical user information based on training loads and effects, as well as intensity categories. The processor can also determine various performance metrics like Recovery, Base, Tempo, Lactate Threshold, VO2 max, Anaerobic capacity, and speed using the training data. The display can visually represent these metrics and provide training recommendations based on the identified intensity categories. Overall, the wearable electronic device aims to provide users with comprehensive information about their exercise intensity, training loads, and performance metrics to optimize their workouts and improve their fitness levels.
