Claims (44)

1 - 51 . (canceled)

52 . A method for customizing muscle stimulation sessions, the method comprising:

receiving third-party information regarding a user activity of a user, the third-party information including data received from a third-party data source;

querying the user for additional, user-based information;

receiving the user-based information;

evaluating the third-party information and the user-based information to select between a predetermined muscle stimulation session and a customized muscle stimulation session;

when the predetermined muscle stimulation session is selected, providing a recommendation to the user of one or more predetermined muscle stimulation sessions targeting one or more muscle groups to provide blood circulation and endorphin generation stimulation modalities for flushing lactic acid from blood of the user; and

when the customized muscle stimulation session is selected, creating the customized muscle stimulation session based on the third-party information and the user-based information, the customized muscle stimulation session targeting one or more muscle groups to provide blood circulation and endorphin generation stimulation modalities for flushing lactic acid from blood of the user.

53 . The method of claim 52 , wherein querying the user includes prompting the user to select a workout type from a list of activities, and wherein the user-based information includes the workout type.

54 . The method of claim 52 , wherein querying the user includes prompting the user to select one or more preferences related to muscle stimulation sessions, and wherein the user-based information includes the one or more preferences related to muscle stimulation sessions.

55 . The method of claim 54 , wherein the one or more preferences related to muscle stimulation sessions include at least one of a duration, an intensity, a muscle group, and an attribute related to one or more electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices.

56 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the user-based information includes one or more of a workout type, a workout intensity, and a workout length.

57 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the user-based information includes an identification of one or more muscles for targeting in a muscle stimulation session.

58 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the user-based information includes data related to muscle fatigue or muscle soreness.

59 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the user-based information includes a user history of one or more of muscle stimulation sessions and user activities.

60 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the user-based information includes one or more of physiological data and demographic data.

61 . The method of claim 52 , wherein one or more of the third-party information and the user-based information includes one or more of physical data, geographic data, measured data, and sensed data.

62 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the third-party information is received from the third-party data source in response to a query from a stimulation session application.

63 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the third-party information includes one or more of a workout type, a workout intensity, and a workout length.

64 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the third-party information includes heart rate data.

65 . The method of claim 52 , wherein the third-party information includes accelerometer data.

66 . The method of claim 52 , wherein one or more of the predetermined muscle stimulation session and the customized muscle stimulation session is a recovery session.

67 . The method of claim 52 , further comprising sending a notification to a user in response to receiving one or more of the third-party information and the user-based information.

68 . The method of claim 67 , wherein the notification includes an invitation to schedule a muscle stimulation session.

69 . The method of claim 52 , further comprising scheduling one or more of the predetermined muscle stimulation session and the customized muscle stimulation session.

70 . The method of claim 69 , further comprising scheduling one or more muscle stimulation sessions for implementation after one or more of the predetermined muscle stimulation session and the customized muscle stimulation session.

71 . The method of claim 52 , further comprising running one or more of the predetermined muscle stimulation session and the customized muscle stimulation session on one or more electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices engaged with the user.

72 . The method of claim 52 , further comprising estimating time the user spent above a predetermined lactate threshold level based on one or more of the third-party information and the user-based information.

73 . The method of claim 52 , further comprising querying the user for feedback regarding one or more of the predetermined muscle stimulation session and the customized muscle stimulation session.

74 . The method of claim 52 , further comprising receiving feedback from the user regarding one or more of the predetermined muscle stimulation session and the customized muscle stimulation session.

75 . The method of claim 74 , wherein the feedback includes one or more of measured information and sensed information.

76 . The method of claim 74 , wherein the feedback includes information regarding an effectiveness of one or more of the predetermined muscle stimulation session and the customized muscle stimulation session.

77 . The method of claim 74 , further comprising, based on the feedback, selecting one or more muscle stimulation sessions for implementation after one or more of the predetermined muscle stimulation session and the customized muscle stimulation session.

78 . A method for customizing muscle stimulation sessions, the method comprising:

receiving third-party information regarding a user activity of a user, the third-party information including data received from a third-party data source;

querying the user for additional, user-based information;

receiving the user-based information; and

creating a customized muscle stimulation session based on the third-party information and the user-based information, the customized muscle stimulation session targeting one or more muscle groups to provide blood circulation and endorphin generation stimulation modalities for flushing lactic acid from blood of the user.

79 . A method for selecting muscle stimulation sessions, the method comprising:

receiving third-party information regarding a user activity of a user, the third-party information including data received from a third-party data source;

querying the user for additional, user-based information;

receiving the user-based information; and

reviewing a plurality of predetermined muscle stimulation sessions and providing a recommendation to the user of a predetermined muscle stimulation session from the plurality of predetermined muscle stimulation sessions, the predetermined muscle stimulation session targeting one or more muscle groups to provide blood circulation and endorphin generation stimulation modalities for flushing lactic acid from blood of the user.
