Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining training status from a group of alternatives from a plurality of exercises, where a user has frequently monitored exercises with at least heart rate being measured by a host process, which outputs selected variables for calculating the training status by a child process.

Abstract: A method and system for determining anaerobic threshold intensity (AnT) of a user in a freely performed physical exercise. A physiological response of a user is measured by heart rate and measured heart rate values are recorded as heart rate data. An external workload values are recorded and are each associated with one measured heart rate values to form a plurality of data points. The data points are filtered to form accepted data points, which are classified within a plurality of heart rate segments representing a heart rate within an anaerobic threshold (AnT) of the user. A data point with highest probability is stored for each segment. A first probability factor for each accepted data point is calculated. The calculated first probability factor is compared to a stored probability factor in each segment, and the higher probability factor is retained. AnT is calculated using the stored probabilities in each segment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving recognition of anaerobic sections of exercise and to providing feedback on training load or training effect reflecting energy systems used and trained during exercise. The method determines an ‘oxygen debt’ like cumulative physiological sum (usually training effect TE as EPOC value) brought on by a change in a body homeostasis and its aerobic and anaerobic values. Particularly anaerobic value may be determined by a procedure, where a total EPOC (or TRIMP) is determined as a total sum and an aerobic part calculated in a known manner, is deducted from the total sum.
