System to determine and dictate individual exercise thresholds to maximize desired neurological response
A system to determine and dictate individual exercise thresholds to maximize desired neurological responses.
1. A system to maximize neurological responses during a physical activity, comprising:
an exercise equipment configured to measure and transmit frequency and power during the physical activity;
a display; and
a system controller,
wherein the system controller is configured to:
receive a current power and a current frequency to update an average power and average frequency,
update a power threshold and a frequency threshold using the updated average power and the updated average frequency,
compare the updated power threshold and the updated frequency threshold with the current power and the current frequency,
determine load and frequency emoji cues based on the comparison, and
display the load and frequency emoji cues on the display.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising: one or more sensors, electrically connected to the exercise equipment, for measuring the frequency and the power.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the exercise equipment is selected from a group consisting of a bike, a treadmill, a rowing machine, and an elliptical machine.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system controller and the display comprise a smart watch.
5. A method of treating a neurological disorder using the system of claim 1 , comprising:
a. providing the system of claim 1 ;
b. guiding a participant through an increasing power warm up;
c. displaying cues, to the participant, for high intensity power intervals;
d. displaying cues for on/off RPM challenge interval zones from comfortable to challenging frequencies; and
e. prompting the participant to perform best safe surge zones.
