Performance monitoring systems and methods
Systems and methods for electronically providing coaching feedback to a user during an athletic activity are disclosed. The method may include receiving electronic data, collecting second electronic data, generating comparison electronic speed data by comparing the second electronic speed data to the first electronic speed data, prompting the user.
1. A method of electronically providing coaching feedback to a user during an athletic activity, the method comprising:
collecting first electronic user performance, data related to a first fitness activity on a first portable electronic device including a microprocessor, a display screen, a user input, a satellite positioning system receiver, a memory, and a wireless communication transceiver, the first electronic user performance data being stored in the first portable device memory and a remote memory,
receiving the first electronic user performance data on a second portable electronic device, the second portable electronic device including a microprocessor, a display screen, a user input, a satellite positioning system receiver, a memory, and a wireless communication transceiver;
collecting second electronic user performance data related to a second fitness activity on the second portable electronic device, the second electronic user performance data being stored in the second portable device memory and the remote memory;
receiving the second electronic user performance data on the first portable electronic device;
generating first comparison electronic data by comparing the second electronic user performance data to the first electronic user performance data;
generating a signal based on the first comparison electronic data; and
prompting a first user on the first portable electronic device with the generated signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
during the collecting second electronic user performance data, prompting a second user on the second portable electronic device based on the first comparison electronic data.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first fitness activity and the second fitness activity occur simultaneously.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first fitness activity and the second fitness activity are one of running, cycling, swimming, and lifting.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the second electronic user performance data on the first portable electronic device occurs after completion of the second fitness activity.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prompting the first user includes providing an audible message to prompt the first user to modify their performance during the first fitness activity.
7. A method of electronically providing coaching feedback to a user, the method comprising:
generating first electronic user position data related to a first running activity on a first portable electronic device including a microprocessor, a display screen, a user input, a satellite positioning system receiver, a memory, and a wireless communication transceiver, the first electronic user position data being, stored in the first portable electronic device memory;
generating second electronic user position data related to a second running activity on a second portable electronic device including a microprocessor, a display screen, a user input, a satellite positioning system receiver, a memory, and a wireless communication transceiver, the second electronic user position data being, stored in the second portable electronic device memory;
receiving the first electronic user position data on the second portable electronic device;
generating comparison electronic data during the generating second electronic user data by comparing the second electronic user position data to the first electronic user position data;
prompting the user on the second portable electronic device during the generating second electronic user data, based on the comparison electronic data.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the receiving the first electronic user position data occurs after completion of the first running activity.
