Intelligent Fitness Log: Maintains a detailed exercise log for cycling and other sports. Calculates aerobic values for exercise which closely match those suggested by leading experts. Special weighting for altitude and various sports including cycling, mountain biking, skating, tennis, swimming, etc. Provides detailed summary for monthly, weekly, or any specified time period. Note: Docs may not match software exactly, but you should be able to figure out the installation and setup if not contact the author directly.
This program was originally marketed in 1989 as a cycling log. Since then it has been expanded to include a wide variety of sports besides cycling. The documentation concerns mostly cycling, but if that is not you interest, don't despair. Go through the setup as if you were a cyclist, then select whatever exercise you do when you log an activity. Much of the documentation concerns such matters as tire types, bike types, etc. Just take the defaults if something doesn't apply to your activity.
Intelligent Fitness Log (IFL) will keep accurate records of your exercise history which may be stored, recalled, and printed. You may make logs for any period of time desired, be it weekly, monthly, yearly, or for life. Information may be retrieved from the log for any desired time period. Unlike other logs, IFL gives the user valuable information about fitness levels.
CALORIE COUNTER:
The program uses individual statistics about weight, sex, and age to design a calorie counter for your exercise program. This counter may be altered by the user to compensate for changes in fitness levels and weight. The counter will also list average caloric intake requirements to maintain your particular weight, to lose weight, or to gain weight. Users are reminded that any program of weight control or fitness conditioning should be approved by your family physican.
AEROBIC FITNESS/BICYCLING:
The program calculates point values for aerobic fitness. It is often difficult to determine exact aerobic values for cycling since most ride lengths do not match the charts which have been provided. IFL calculates aerobic values on the basis of exact exercise periods versus time spent.required. This works fine for normal road type riding, but falls
short when one begins to consider other factors, such as bicycle type, road conditions, and altitude. Mountain bicycling is often more strenuous, but takes much longer times. A cyclist living at low altitudes will have exercise differences when he rides in the mountains. A ride into the wind is much more difficult than a loop ride or a windless ride. ICL takes all these factors into consideration when logging a ride, so the best
possible values may be determined for any ride. Values are compensated for road type, bicycle type, and altitude. The values may be modified by the user to be reliable and accurate for a wide range of conditions.
CROSS TRAINING: OTHER AEROBIC ACTIVITIES:
IFL also calculates aerobic points for running, skating, walking, roller skating, skiing, swimming, tennis, and a variety of other activities. Go through the setup procedure as you would for cycling - the calculations will use the altitude and caloric information when calculating your activity.
FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY OR TEAM:
IFL will log more than one user at a time, so individual fitness records may be kept for the entire family.
