Method and apparatus for improving performance

摘要

The present invention relates generally to a training method and apparatus for improving performance.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a performance system, wherein the performance system includes a treadmill; at least one sensor for measuring a first parameter of a subject, wherein the first parameter is a parameter of a subject being trained and measured by the performance system; the at least one sensor measuring an initial measurement of the first parameter; a control system for controlling a second parameter, wherein the second parameter is a speed of the treadmill; the control system setting an initial value for the second parameter; the control system determining a range of tolerance surrounding the initial measurement of the first parameter, the range of tolerance being ±2% of a value of the first parameter; a timer for recording an elapsed time of a given activity; the control system determining for the given activity, a point of efficiency of the subject by measuring the first parameter of the subject, the point of efficiency being the maximum value of the second parameter whereby a state of accommodation is maintained, the state of accommodation being maintained as long as the subject trains without the value of the first parameter exceeding the range of tolerance, wherein the point of efficiency is determined by repeatedly increasing stress on the subject within the range of tolerance surrounding the initial measurement of the first parameter by controlling the second parameter until just prior to the subject no longer being able to accommodate additional stress and entering a state of inefficiency or exhaustion.
