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. An athletic performance tracking system, comprising:
a processing system programmed and adapted to receive input indicating at least a first parameter associated with a user's performance during a workout routine, wherein the first parameter includes physical or physiological data associated with the workout routine; and
an input system configured to receive subjective user input including a ranking of the workout routine,
wherein the processing system is further adapted to:
determine, during the user's performance of the workout routine, whether a predefined condition associated with the workout routine has been met; and
in response to determining that the predefined condition has been met, prompt the user for the subjective ranking of the workout routine; and
provide a future workout routine based on the subjective ranking of the workout routine.
2. The athletic performance tracking system according to claim 1 , further comprising a storage system that stores data relating to plural workout routines performed by the user and stores the ranking of the respective workout routine.
3. The athletic performance tracking system according to claim 1 , wherein the first parameter includes speed information.
4. The athletic performance tracking system according to claim 1 , wherein the first parameter includes distance information.
5. The athletic performance tracking system according to claim 1 , wherein the first parameter includes timing information.
6. The athletic performance tracking system according to claim 1 , wherein the first parameter includes heart rate information.
7. The athletic performance tracking system according to claim 1 , wherein the first parameter includes pulse rate information.
8. An athletic performance tracking method, comprising:
receiving electronic input at a processing system indicating at least a first parameter associated with a user's performance during a workout routine, wherein the first parameter includes physical or physiological data associated with the workout routine;
determining, during the user's performance of the workout routine, whether a predefined condition associated with the workout routine has been met;
in response to determining that the predefined condition has been met:
prompting the user for a ranking of the workout routine; and
receiving subjective user input specifying the ranking of the workout routine; and
providing a future workout routine based on the subjective user input ranking of the workout routine.
9. The athletic performance tracking method of claim 8 , further including storing data relating to plural workout routines performed by the user and storing the ranking of the respective workout routine.
10. The athletic performance tracking method of claim 8 , wherein the first parameter includes speed information.
11. The athletic performance tracking method of claim 8 , wherein the first parameter includes distance information.
12. The athletic performance tracking method of claim 8 , wherein the first parameter includes timing information.
13. The athletic performance tracking method of claim 8 , wherein the first parameter includes heart rate information.
14. The athletic performance tracking method of claim 8 , wherein the first parameter includes pulse rate information.
15. A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions for causing a processor to execute a method of athletic performance tracking comprising:
receiving electronic input at a processing system indicating at least a first parameter associated with a user's performance during a workout routine, wherein the first parameter includes physical or physiological data associated with the workout routine;
determining, during the user's performance of the workout routine, whether a predefined condition associated with the workout routine has been met;
in response to determining that the predefined condition has been met:
prompting the user for a ranking of the workout routine; and
receiving subjective user input specifying the ranking of the workout routine; and
providing a future workout routine based on the subjective user input ranking of the workout routine.
16. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 15 having further machine-readable instructions for causing the processor to execute method of athletic performance tracking comprising storing data relating to plural workout routines performed by the user and storing the ranking of the respective workout routine.
17. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first parameter includes speed information.
18. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first parameter includes distance information.
19. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first parameter includes timing information.
20. The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first parameter includes pulse rate information.
