1. A method comprising:
obtaining activity data for an activity of a user, the activity data corresponding to multiple parameters;
retrieving a set of threshold criteria that corresponds to a multi-parameter activity zone, wherein the set of threshold criteria comprises:
an effort threshold criteria related to a heart rate of the user; and
a user threshold criteria based in part on at least one of: historic data associated with the user, a planned threshold criteria for the user, or a maximum threshold of the user, wherein the user threshold criteria is determined in view of at least one of: a ventilation threshold of the user, a lactate threshold of the user, an oxygen uptake test of the user, a conconi threshold of the user, or a maximum cardiovascular threshold of the user;
determining an effort of the user based on the activity data;
determining a resistance experienced by the user, wherein the resistance comprises a measure representing at least one of stride rate, step rate, steps taken by the user, or cadence;
determining a posture of the user; and
classifying, based on the set of threshold criteria corresponding to the multi-parameter activity zone, an instance of the activity as an activity type based on the resistance experienced by the user, the effort of the user, and the posture of the user,
wherein the method is executed by one or more processors.
