Exercise system computer

Abstract

Example systems and methods for generating a training program for an exerciser involve receiving information about a future athletic event and selecting, based on the future athletic event information, exercise data for controlling an exercise apparatus for use by an exerciser training for the athletic event.

1 . An exercise system computer comprising:
 a communication interface configured to receive information about a future athletic event; and   a processing system configured to select, based on the future athletic event information, exercise data for controlling an exercise apparatus for use by an exerciser training for the athletic event.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the exercise data comprises exercise data which defines a series of workouts using the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the exercise data comprises an exercise time and control data for controlling a parameter associated with a movable element of the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 memory for storing profile information about the exerciser, the profile information including the future athletic event information.   
     
     
         5 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 4 , wherein the profile information further comprises e-mail address information. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 4 , wherein the profile information further comprises exerciser name, age and address information. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the communication interface is configured to send the exercise data to the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the future athletic event is a running event. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the future athletic event is running event of a specified distance. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the future athletic event is a ten kilometer running event. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the future athletic event is a marathon. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the exercise apparatus comprises a treadmill. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the exercise apparatus comprises pedals. 
     
     
         14 . The exerciser system computer according to  claim 1 , wherein the exercise apparatus comprises a cross-trainer. 
     
     
         15 . A method for generating a training program for an exerciser, the method comprising:
 receiving information about a future athletic event; and   selecting, based on the future athletic event information, exercise data for controlling an exercise apparatus for use by an exerciser training for the athletic event.   
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the exercise data comprises exercise data which defines a series of workouts using the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the future athletic event is a running event. 
     
     
         18 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the future athletic event is a running event of a specified distance. 
     
     
         19 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the future athletic event is a ten kilometer running event. 
     
     
         20 . The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the future athletic event is a marathon. 
     
     
         21 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for generating a training program for an exerciser, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to:
 receive an input from the exerciser comprising information about a future athletic event; and   select, based on the future athletic event information, exercise data for controlling an exercise apparatus for use by an exerciser training for the athletic event.   
     
     
         22 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 21 , wherein the exercise data comprises exercise data which defines a series of workouts using the exercise apparatus. 
     
     
         23 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 21 , wherein the future athletic event is a running event. 
     
     
         24 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 21 , wherein the future athletic event is a ten kilometer running event. 
     
     
         25 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to  claim 21 , wherein the future event is a marathon.
