초록 ▼

The invention interfaces a user-powered exercise machine to a personal computer, creating a dual-mode exercise and training system with new methods of pacing ones activity in order to achieve a goal. The user determines when the exercise period will end, and sets a goal. The computer constantly displays THE REQUIRED SPEED, which is the speed that will enable the user to achieve his goal. The CALCULATED FINAL OUTCOME predicts the outcome of the exercise period, assuming that the user will continue at his current speed for the remainder of the exercise period. The user always knows how fast he will have to go to reach his goal, and always knows what the outcome will be if he maintains his current speed. This allows the user to vary his speed and still maintain a regulated overall level of activity. In the STANDARD MODE, the exercise period is a period of time, and the goal is a TARGET DISTANCE. In the TRAINING MODE, the exercise period ends when the end of the course is reached, and the goal is a TARGET TIME. The invention includes a means of calculating heartbeat rate of depressing a key on the computer keyboard at a rate proportional to the user\s pulse rate. The pulse data can be used to determine a goal which will produce a beneficial heartbeat rate, and the pulse data can be recorded to compare the heartbeat recovery rate from previous exercise periods. The invention can be calibrated by changing the number of exercise machine cycles required to travel one mile.

대표청구항 ▼

A method of providing information which can assist a person in achieving a goal during an exercise period, using an exercise machine in which the number of machine cycles simulates the distance traveled and the rate of said cycles simulates speed, and using a computer having a memory, means for inputting user-determined numerical data, a display screen, and means for detecting motion of said exercise machine, said method comprising the steps of: (a) storing in said memory user-determined data, said data comprising an exercise period and a goal; (b) continuously calculating the current rate of motion or speed during said exercise period; (c) continuously calculating, during said exercise period or until said goal is achieved, which ever comes first, the rate of motion or speed, referred to as the required speed, which if continued for the remainder of said exercise period, would result in the achievement of said goal at the end of said exercise period; and (d) displaying on said screen said current speed and said required speed; whereby, even if the rate of motion varies dramatically during said exercise period, said displayed information can be used to determine the speed required, during the remainder of said exercise period, to achieve said goal during said exercise period, and said required speed can be compared to said current speed.
