Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for determining whether to authorize output of a first application to be interrupted by output of a second application. The media guidance application may provide output of a first application to a user and receive, from a second application, a request to provide second output from the second application to the user. In response to receiving the request, the media guidance application may determine whether the user is involved in physical activity and, in response to determining that the user is involved in physical activity, retrieve from a database information in a profile corresponding to the user. If the information indicates that the physical activity is routine, the media guidance application may deny the request and continue to provide the first output of the first application to the user.
