System, application, and process for exercise recovery

Abstract

Systems and processes for recommending a recovery routine are described. In various embodiments, an online or mobile application can receive activity data from a user and provide recommended recovery routines based thereon. The activity data can be received from a wearable activity tracker device and/or a smart fitness machine. The application can recommend that the recovery activity be performed using a smart recovery device (e.g., a percussive massage device). In certain instances, data from the recovery activity can also be communicated to the application and compared against an optimal recovery routine.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for recommending a recovery activity, the method comprising:
 receiving activity data of a user at a mobile application executing on a mobile device in communication with a server; and   providing a recommended recovery activity based on the activity data, wherein a primary goal of the recovery activity is to facilitate physiological recovery of the user.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the activity data is received from a wearable activity tracker. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the activity data is received from a smart fitness machine. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing a recommended recovery activity comprises recommending a smart recovery device for performance of the recovery activity. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the smart recovery device comprises a percussive massage device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising the steps of:
 connecting to the smart recovery device; and   receiving recovery data related to the recovery activity from the smart recovery device.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising the steps of:
 comparing the recovery data to an optimal recovery data; and   presenting the comparison results to the user.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising the step of presenting the comparison results to a third party. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the third party comprises at least one of a trainer or a healthcare professional. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing a recommended recovery activity comprises using an artificial intelligence technique. 
     
     
         11 . A system comprising:
 one or more data processing apparatus programmed to perform operations comprising:
 receiving activity data of a user at a mobile application executing on a mobile device in communication with a server; and 
 providing a recommended recovery activity based on the activity data, wherein a primary goal of the recovery activity is to facilitate physiological recovery of the user. 
   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the activity data is received from a wearable activity tracker. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the activity data is received from a smart fitness machine. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operation of providing a recommended recovery activity comprises recommending a smart recovery device for performance of the recovery activity. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the smart recovery device comprises a percussive massage device. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 connecting to the smart recovery device; and   receiving recovery data related to the recovery activity from the smart recovery device.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 comparing the recovery data to an optimal recovery data; and   presenting the comparison results to the user.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting the comparison results to a third party. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the third party comprises at least one of a trainer or a healthcare professional. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the operation of providing a recommended recovery activity comprises using an artificial intelligence technique.
