TRAINING DEVICE FOR DETERMINING TIMING OF NEXT TRAINING SESSION

摘要

A device helps a user to plan the proper timing for setting a next training session based on the intensity of a training stimulus of a previous session. The user is shown when there will have been enough recovery time since the last training session to suggest the best time for starting the next training session. The timing recommendations are based on a supercompensation time curve that depends on a user dependent factor that includes at least the training load of the last training session and preferably also depends on the training status of the user. Further parameters like age and gender and variables like behavior affecting recovery, as there are for example tiredness from lack of sleep, dehydration from insufficient drinking, insufficient calories, protein, mineral or vitamin intake, consumption of alcohol and other drugs, can additionally be used to influence the recovery timing calculations.

主权项

1. A training device for determining a timing for a next training session, comprising:
an input device receiving an indication of a user dependent factor, the input device being at least one of a user input device and a sensor unit that monitors an activity of the user; and a processor that defines a time to perform the next training session, the processor uses an equation that estimates at least a portion of a supercompensation curve, the equation being a function of at least one parameter that is varied by the processor based on the user dependent factor.
