Athletic performance sensing and/or tracking systems and methods
Athletic performance sensing and/or tracking systems include components for measuring or sensing athletic performance data and/or for storing and/or displaying desired information associated with the athletic performance to the user (or others). Such systems can allow users a wide variety of options in creating workouts, selecting and presenting media content during the athletic performance, etc., e.g., to help keep users entertained and motivated. In some instances, user feedback may be used, optionally in combination with objective data relating to a workout, to control features of the workout routine, to control the music or other media content selected and/or presented, and/or to control features of future workout routines and/or the presented media content.
1. A method comprising:
providing, at a processor associated with a user device, playback of first motivational content to a first user as the first user is performing a first activity;
providing, at the processor, playback of second motivational content to the first user as the first user is performing a second activity different than the first activity;
receiving, at the processor, second performance data from a sensor as the first user is performing the second activity;
comparing, at the processor, the second performance data with past performance data of the second activity by the first user;
determining, at the processor, that the first user is approaching a personal best based on the second performance data as the first user is performing the second activity;
identifying, at the processor, third motivational content with a higher beat than the second motivational content, wherein the third motivational content is identified based on the past performance data;
providing, at the processor, playback of the third motivational content to the first user;
storing the third motivational content and second performance data specific to the playback of the third motivational content; and
responsive to receiving a user display request, generating a display of the stored second performance data specific to the playback of the third motivational content.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the personal best relates to a speed of the first user as the first user performs the second activity.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the personal best relates to a distance traversed by the first user as the first user performs the second activity.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: discontinuing, at the processor, playback of the third motivational content when the first user achieves the personal best in the performance of the second activity.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: providing, at the processor, fourth motivational content with a slower beat than the third motivational content after the first user achieves the personal best in the performance of the second activity.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing, at the processor, fourth motivational content with a slower beat than the third motivational content after the first user begins a cool-down during the performance of the second activity.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein third motivational content is identified after the first user has completed the first activity and before the first user has begun the second activity.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third motivational content is identified based on a user designation.
