Abstrakt: This article deals with the use of a personalized music system called IM4Sports for motivation in sports performance. First-time use of the system requires an installation stage to personalize the system using a personal computer. In a dialog with a user, the system requests relevant personal data. Users also have the opportunity to alter or add exercise definitions and to indicate their likes and dislikes of music in terms of songs, artists, or genres with respect to the exercises. Moreover, the usage of the system consists three stages: preparation, exercise, and feedback. In the preparation stage, the user can select a training program and suitable music using a personal computer. When the user is exercising, music players on the portable player either support or guide user performance as expressed in heart rate, stride of frequency, and speed or covered distance. The exercises in the training program dictate the song order. Obviously, the user controls the playback and can skip or prolong songs and exercises using interactive controls of the player. After exercising, the user can collect and store performance data, and the list of songs played on a personal computer. These data can be used for visual inspection and system learning purposes. INSETS: Solo Exercise and Music;Using a Training Program.
