Nuria Oliver nuria, Fernando Flores-Mangas

Features

  • MPTrain characterizes the music by its ‘beats per minute’ and ‘energy’
  • MPTrain monitors the user’s heart-rate and speed in ‘steps per minute’
  • The ‘work out’ goals are a graph with the % of desired heart-rate with respect to the maximum heart-rate over time
  • MPTrain selects the song to play (by its tempo and energy) such that the user will speed up/slow down/keep the pace so his/her heart-rate will change accordingly to follow the desired goal
