  • Publication number: 20200237283
    Abstract: Athletic activity may be monitored using heart rate in addition to or instead of other types of metrics. Accordingly, multiple different activity types may be compared based on heart rate information. Additionally, the heart rate information may be visualized by displaying the heart rate data over time or relative to pace or distance. Additionally, the system may allow a user to analyze his or her heart rate performance by identifying one or more portions of the athletic activity in which a user exhibited a specified range of heart rates. Athletic activity sessions may further be tagged with various indicators including weather, terrain, difficulty and intensity. According to one or more aspects, data for different types of activity metrics may be polled and/or transmitted to a system at different rates or based on different schedules. Moreover, users may specify whether sensed data may be uploaded, recorded and/or visualized prior to or during an activity session.

  • Patent number: 9141087
    Abstract: A device for monitoring athletic performance of a user has a wristband configured to be worn by the user. The electronic module may include a controller and a screen and a plurality of user inputs operably associated with the controller. The user inputs may include a user input configured to be applied by the user against the screen and in a direction generally normal to the screen. The controller may further be configured to generate one or more user interfaces in response to various user inputs and conditions. For example, the controller may generate workout mode interfaces and non-workout mode interfaces including various goal information, workout data, reminders and the like. In one or more arrangements, multiple types of information may be displayed simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 6179305
    Abstract: An accessible seating assembly for a snowboard which allows a physically challenged skier to participate in the sport of snowboarding. The seating assembly is composed of a rotatable seat to allow for transverse or forward-facing seating arrangement. The seating assembly is also capable of raising up to allow for users to ride conventional chair lifts without being detached from the seating assembly. The nature of the seating assembly allows for adaptation for riders of either orientation, goofy or standard. A further benefit of the seating assembly is that it is easily attached to a conventional snowboard or similar apparatus. This aids the user in the purchase of snowboards and also in changing the assembly from one snowboard to another. An adjustable shock absorber is included to cushion the user in a way similar to a normal rider's knees. It is also capable of adjusting to riders of different weight.
