Abstract: A system and method for estimating a caloric expenditure by a user for a workout. A system includes one or more wearable sensors configured to be worn by the user, each sensing biometric data and/or performance data about the user during the workout. A mobile computing device includes a memory that stores a user profile for the user and a metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs) table, and one or more communication inputs for receiving the biometric data from the one or more wearable sensors. A computer processor associated with the mobile computing device is configured by an application to calculate the caloric expenditure by the user for the workout according to one or more fields of the METs table and the user profile, and based on the workout defined by the application.

Abstract: A system and method for providing recommendations for a workout by a user. The system includes a workout engine configured to select the workout for the user based on user input and/or historical data, and one or more data sources, each of the one or more data sources providing information associated with the user and/or the workout. The system further includes a recommendation engine configured to receive the information associated with the user and/or the workout from the one or more data sources, and to generate one or more recommendations about the workout and/or the user before, during and/or after the workout by the user, the one or more recommendations being configured to optimize the performance of the workout by the user.

Abstract: A computer implemented coaching platform is described that utilizes contextual data associated with a user and/or his environment in order to provide dynamically changing content while the user is undergoing physical activity. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A system is provided that provides guidance (e.g., audio content) to a user while exercising. This audio content is tailored to the particular user and is aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the exercising. In some cases, the audio content conveyed to the user can be based on one or more sensors providing various metrics (e.g., heart rate, cadence, breathing rate, galvanic skin response, temperature etc.) regarding the real-time performance of the user. In some cases, the guidance to a user may be downloaded dynamically to the device by a specialized server or wireless connection. In addition, the guidance can be dynamically adjusted based on a variety of factors including data obtained from the sensors. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
