Control system of exercise apparatuses for aid in group training

Abstract

A control system of exercise apparatuses for aid in group training includes a primary electronic control console and several secondary electronic control consoles. A control software program, a message transmitter and a message receiver are installed in each of the electronic control consoles of the same exercise apparatuses for controlling the exercise apparatuses and recording the operation status thereof. They are regarded as a basic electronic control equipment. The primary electronic control console can receive all exercise messages transmitted from all of the secondary electronic control consoles. Thereafter, the exercise messages can be clearly displayed on a data display zone of a display. At the same time, the control instructions will be transmitted to each of the secondary electronic control console by use of an external control keyboard, the message transmitter, and the message receiver. In this way, the exercise resistance level of the exercise apparatuses can be remote-controlled, thereby achieving the expected training effect and ensuring the training safety.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Fields of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a control system of exercise apparatuses for aid in group training, and more particularly, to a control system having a primary electronic control console (for the coach / trainer) to directly control the exercise resistance level of several secondary electronic control consoles (for the trainees). Meanwhile, the coach / trainer is able to keep track of the operation data of each secondary electronic control console for achieving the expected training and safety effect.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In the modern fitness center, most of the fitness exercise apparatuses (such as fitness bikes, elliptical cross trainers, etc.) are similar. They are all separately controllable, especially with respect to the adjustment of the exercise resistance levels. For the individual use, an expected control function can be achieved without problem. However, it is not optimal for the group exercise ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a control system for exercise apparatuses used in group training. The system includes a primary electronic control console that can display the exercise data of each trainee and adjust the resistance level of their exercise apparatus. The primary console can also communicate with secondary consoles on other exercise apparatuses to control their resistance levels. This allows the trainees to work out at the same time with uniform resistance levels. The primary console can also display the physical condition of each trainee in real-time, ensuring training safety. Overall, this control system provides more efficient and effective training results.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is not optimal for the group exercise teaching use (especially one-to-many teaching mode).

When a coach or a trainer issues a training / teaching command, he cannot realize if all of their trainees do properly perform the exercise resistance level, unless he goes to check each electronic console on the exercise apparatus.

As a result, there must be trainees who are physically not able to overcome the challenge of the exercise resistance level, thereby requiring the adjustment of the exercise resistance level during the workout session.

However, a coach or a trainer cannot necessarily grasp this information and make appropriate response.

Moreover, the coach or the trainer also can not observe / control the training progress and status of each trainee throughout the workout session.

Therefore, the vast majority of the trainees could drop out the training / teaching courses because they can not keep up with training progress.

Some of them may feel frustrated since they fail to get the proper training effect and to achieve the learning purposes.
