    Bei der Lösung geht die Erfindung von dem Grundgedanken aus, ein individuell zusammenstellbares Trainingsprogramm bereitzustellen, das der Trainierende während des Trainings anhören kann (beispielsweise eine Musikzusammenstellung), und bei einem tragbaren Trainingsgerät neben der Tonwiedergabeeinrichtung zum Abspielen von Musik oder Texten eine Möglichkeit vorzusehen, den aktuellen Trainingsverlauf zu erfassen und eine diesem Trainingsverlauf entsprechende verbale Information an den Benutzer zum Training desselben über die Tonwiedergabeeinrichtung auszugeben.In the solution, the invention is based on the basic idea, an individual to provide a compilable training program that the trainee during the Can listen to trainings (for example a music compilation), and at one portable training device next to the sound reproduction device for playing music or texts to provide a way to record the current training course and verbal information to the user corresponding to this training course Output training of the same on the sound reproduction device.

    Unter dem Begriff Trainingsinformationen werden erfindungsgemäß alle Arten von Informationen verstanden, die als Informationen oder Anweisung zum Optimieren eines Trainings verwendet werden können, wie etwa Anweisungen in gesprochener Form, vorzugsweise unterstützt durch visuelle Signale oder Informationen, etc. Die Ausgabe von Trainingsinformationen in verbaler Form ist für den Trainierenden wesentlich motivierender als beispielsweise einfache Anzeigen.According to the invention, the term training information includes all types of Information understood as information or instruction to optimize a Trainings can be used, such as spoken instructions, preferably supported by visual signals or information, etc. The output of Verbal form of training information is much more motivating for the trainee than simple ads, for example.

    Erfindungsgemäß weist das tragbare Trainingsgerät neben der Tonwiedergabeeinrichtung einen Mikroprozessor bzw. Mikrocomputer auf, sowie eine Einrichtung zum Erfassen eines Trainingsverlaufs, die mit dem Mikroprozessor in Datenkommunikation steht. Die Trainingsverlauf-Erfassungseinrichtung erfasst während eines Trainings körpereigene Parameter des Trainierenden. Beispielsweise ist die Einrichtung zum Erfassen eines Trainingsverlaufs ein Pulsmesser, ein Pulsoxymeter, ein Zeitmesser, ein Zeitgeber oder Schrittzähler.According to the invention, the portable training device has next to the sound reproduction device a microprocessor or microcomputer, and a device for detecting a Training course that is in data communication with the microprocessor. The Training course recording device records the body's own during a training Parameters of the exerciser. For example, the device for detecting a Training course a heart rate monitor, a pulse oximeter, a timepiece, a timer or Pedometer.

    Die Tonwiedergabeeinrichtung ist vorzugsweise ein MP3-Player oder ein Gerät, das dazu ähnliche Datenformate verwendet, ein Discman, ein tragbares DAT-Gerät oder ein tragbares Minidisc-Gerät. Vorzugsweise ist die Tonwiedergabeeinrichtung erschütterungsunempfindlich.The sound reproduction device is preferably an MP3 player or a device that does so Similar data formats are used, a Discman, a portable DAT device or a portable mini disc device. The sound reproduction device is preferably shock proof.

    Eine verbale Information (z. B. "Ihr Puls beträgt 110") entsprechend dem erfassten Puls wird dem Trainierenden über die Tonwiedergabeeinrichtung ausgegeben, um den Trainierenden über den gegenwärtigen physischen Zustand zu informieren. Diese Information erfolgt entweder regelmäßig, beispielsweise jede Minute, oder nur nach Bedarf, beispielsweise mittels eines Schalters oder einer Taste des tragbaren Trainingsgerätes.Verbal information (eg "Your pulse is 110") will correspond to the detected pulse to the exerciser via the sound reproduction device to the exerciser to inform about the current physical condition. This information is given either regularly, for example every minute, or only as required, for example by means of a switch or a button on the portable training device.

    Durch die Verwendung beispielsweise eines Zeitmessers oder eines Zeitgebers kann der Benutzer sein Training in bestimmten Intervallen durchführen, deren Länge durch den Zeitmesser/Zeitgeber vorgegeben bzw. ihm signalisiert werden. Die Anzeige des erfaßten Trainingsverlaufs, d.h. Zeitintervalle, Pulsfrequenz, etc., kann über einen Sprachgenerator und vorzugsweise zusätzlich über eine Einrichtung zum Erzeugen eines visuellen Signals erfolgen. Beispielsweise ist eine Leuchtdiode vorgesehen, die die verbalen Angaben und Informationen an den Benutzer ergänzen und unterstützen. Alternativ dazu ist ein Display vorgesehen, das beispielsweise in eine Brille (etwa eine Sonnenbrille) integriert ist, die der Benutzer trägt, um den Benutzer visuell über den gegenwärtigen Zustand zu informieren. By using a timer or a timer, for example, the Users perform their training at specific intervals, the length of which is determined by the Timers / timers are specified or signaled to him.
