Crowd sourced discovery of music for improving performance

摘要

Media components can be ranked based on their influence on athletic performance. A score can be computed for a media component based on an individual's athletic performance during output of that media item in comparison with the individual's athletic performance during the output of different media items, or in the absence of any media items. The score can be used to establish an overall total score for the media component by comparing the score to one or more scores received from other individuals for the same media component. The overall total score can be used to compute a ranking for the media component by comparing the media component's overall total score with the overall total score for one or more other media components.

determining, with a processor in connection with a database, a first user's performance data corresponding to the first user's workout session during a first media component output; calculating, with the processor, a first score based on an average of the first user's performance data during the first user's workout session and an average of the first user's performance data during the first media component's output; and receiving, with the processor, a ranking of the first media component relative to a second media component, wherein the second media component includes a score based upon physical performance data similar to those associated with the first media component, the ranking based on: a total score for the first media component, wherein the total score is calculated based on the first score and a second score, the second score is based on an average of a second user's performance data corresponding to the second's workout session during the first media component's output,
wherein the first media component is approved for the ranking when the total score for the first media component is greater than a threshold number.
