Abstract
Improved methodology and apparatus for heart rate-related exercise through: (1) entering and storing and of user's age, as well as computing and storing of Maximal Heart Rate (MHR), (2) usage of programmable heart-rate target zone for benefit-specific training such as fat burning or strong heart, (3) computation of each target zone heart rate limits from the individualized age-related maximal heart rate, (e.g., specific fat-burning zone is 0.55 to 0.70 of the MHR for the specific user, and the strong heart zone is 0.7-0.85 of the MHR), (4) providing feedback of various exercise parameters (zone and time-in-zone, exercise elapsed time, etc.) through speech, (5) programming all the setup entry and feedback modes through a single push-button and 'scrolling speech' menu, (6) utilization of two microcomputers to converse battery power, (7) integration of the entire apparatus into a chest belt, (8) automatic power-off upon removal of apparatus from the body, (9) programming new setup entry and feedback modes through a single push-button and 'scrolling speech' menu via a preset combination of input pulses and input clicks.
