Title
A mobile music concept as support for achieving target heart rate in preventive and recreational endurance training
Abstract
A concept of a mobile phone based system which takes advantage of the influence of listened music during endurance training on running pace, will be presented in this paper. The main goal of the system relies in the support of athletes to achieve their correct target heart rate (THR) during endurance training in the field of recreational and preventive sports. Therefore, a mobile receiver will be developed which should be capable of collecting heart rate data from a standard Polar heart rate chest belt and transmit data via a Bluetooth connection to any mobile device. A feedback algorithm will be developed which will continuously monitor the athlete's heart rate and compare it to the individual THR predicted by a prediction equation. If the athlete's THR is too low or too high, the algorithm will provide music files featuring that amount of beats per minute (BPM), which will help the user to speed up, slow down or keep the pace to be on track with the predicted THR.
