Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are schematic diagrams showing the parameter setting of the fitness training resistance system according to the present invention.

Figure 5 is a flow chart showing the operation of an embodiment of the fitness training resistance system in accordance with the present invention.

As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. When the phrase "at least one of" is preceded by a list of elements, the entire list of elements is modified instead of the individual elements in the list.

Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a block diagram of a fitness training resistance system in accordance with the present invention. In the figure, the fitness training resistance system includes a stepless exercise device 10 and a data transmission device 20. The stepless exercise device 10 can include a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a stepless resistance source 13, a user operating element 14, and an operating interface 19. The storage unit 12 stores personal training parameters 121, exercise programs 122, software applications 125, and training results 126. The operation interface 19 is for the user to set the personal training parameter 121, and the control unit 11 can execute the software application 125 to display the motion information through the operation interface 19.

The data transmission device 20 is used to connect the remote device 30. The control unit 11 can selectively download the personal training parameters 121 from the remote device 30 through the data transmission device 20, or upload the personal training parameters 121 and the training results 126 to the remote device 30.

The control unit 11 executes the exercise program 122 to control the stepless resistance source 13 based on the personal training parameter 121, and applies resistance to the user operating element 14 for the user to exercise. Preferably, the data transmission device 20 can be built in the stepless exercise device 10, and the data transmission device 20 and the control unit 11 can be implemented by a processor or a microcontroller having a program execution function; or The control unit 11 can be a built-in processor or a microcontroller of the stepless exercise device 10, and the data transmission device 20 can be a computer outside the stepless exercise device 10, and the control unit of the stepless exercise device 10 11 Electrical connection, an advantage of this embodiment is that a plurality of stepless exercise equipment 10 can be managed using a single computer.

The detecting unit 18 is configured to detect the position, velocity or acceleration of the operating element 14 of the user. The motion program 122 has a preset resistance setting function 123 and an adjustable parameter 124 in a relative relationship with the position, velocity or acceleration of the user operating element 14. The relative relationship may be a linear relationship, a non-linear relationship or a functional relationship, and the user may set the relative relationship through the operation interface 19. When the control unit 11 starts to execute the motion program 122, the user feels the preset resistance, and when the user operates the component 14 subsequently, the stepless resistance source 13 is based on the detected position, velocity or acceleration. And the parameter 124 can be adjusted to dynamically change the resistance.

For example, the stepless exercise device 10 can be a muscle training device and the stepless resistance source 13 is an electric actuator, such as a motor. The user operating element 14 can include at least one pull cord and at least one grip, one end of the pull cord is connected to the grip, and the other end can be connected to the stepless resistance source 13, such as a motor, and the motor can output a torque to the pull cord to generate Resistance, so the user can move back and forth by pulling the grip to exercise.

In this embodiment, the user may first select a sport mode, or download the personal training parameter 121, which has different corresponding resistance set value distributions, and then during the fitness process, the detecting unit 18 detects the position of the drawstring, For speed or acceleration, the control unit 11 multiplies the detected position, velocity or acceleration by the adjustable parameter 124 to obtain a feedback compensation force value, and then controls the motor output torque according to the feedback compensation force value.

For example, if the relative relationship is a reverse linear relationship and the user sets the adjustable parameter 124, such as the K value shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 11 detects the detected unit 18 during the fitness process. The acceleration obtained is multiplied by the K value set by the user to obtain a feedback compensation force value, and the output torque of the motor is adjusted accordingly to achieve training optimization and avoid injury.

When the traditional weight training equipment is operated, the faster the user pulls the rope, the faster the weight moves, and the greater the inertia of the user when the return stroke falls, which is likely to cause motion damage to the user. The stepless resistance source 13 of the stepless exercise apparatus 10 of the present invention can dynamically adjust the resistance according to the training action of the user, thereby preventing the user from being injured by the inertia force during the fitness process.

The muscle strength of the human limb muscles is different between the centrifugal contraction (return stroke) and the centripetal contraction (pull stroke), so the traditional weight training equipment provides the same strength in the pull and return strokes, and is also likely to cause the user to pull the muscles. hurt. In one embodiment, the stepless resistance source 13 of the stepless exercise apparatus 10 of the present invention dynamically adjusts the force applied to the user operating element 14 as the user exercises, and outputs the pull and return respectively. There are different resistances to avoid muscle strain during the fitness process.

In the course of a fitness exercise, multiple muscle groups are usually involved, and the force demand of each muscle force group varies. Traditional weight training equipment can only provide the same force throughout the movement process, which is not optimized for muscle training and is easy for the user to be injured. In an embodiment, this The stepless resistance source 13 of the inventive stepless exercise device 10 can dynamically adjust the resistance during an action to optimize muscle training and avoid injury to the user.

Each user's dominant hand is different, and the muscle strength of the left and right sides usually develops differently. In one embodiment, the stepless resistance source 13 of the stepless exercise apparatus 10 of the present invention can set different resistances to the left and right sides of the user operating element 14 to train the balance of muscle strength.

As another example, the stepless exercise device 10 can be an aerobic training device, such as a flywheel device, and the user operating member 14 can include a pedal and a runner, and the user can step on the pedal to rotate the wheel without step resistance. The source 13 applies resistance to the rotation of the wheel, thereby allowing the user to exercise. And the stepless resistance source 13 can dynamically adjust the applied resistance.

It should be noted that the technical feature of the present invention is to improve the personalization of the operation of the stepless exercise equipment and dynamically adjust the resistance during the user's fitness process, instead of improving the structure of the stepless exercise equipment, so there is Details about the structure of the stepless exercise equipment will not be described again. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned example of the stepless exercise equipment, and any stepless exercise equipment that can be set by the user to set the fitness parameters is within the protection scope of the present invention.

It can be understood from the above that the resistance output of the stepless resistance source 13 can be dynamically changed with time, and different resistances can be output to the left and right hands respectively, and the resistance can be finely adjusted during the same action, that is, if the user wishes With the best fitness effects and experience, it is necessary to set a lot of training parameters, which is quite inconvenient for the user.

Accordingly, one advantage of the present invention is that the training parameters required for the stepless exercise device 10 to operate are downloaded from the remote device 30, thereby effectively improving the ease of use of the stepless exercise device 10. The remote device 30 can be a cloud server or a user's mobile phone, and the data transmission device 20 can be a network device (such as a wifi device or a wired Internet device) or a short-range communication device (such as a Bluetooth device).

In an embodiment, the personal training parameters 121 may include training action categories, range of limb activities, resistance values, power, time, number of cycles, K values, and the like. Moreover, the personal training parameters 121 can also include different training parameters for the left hand and the right hand.

In addition, during the exercise process by the user, the control unit 11 records movement information of one of the user operation elements 14, such as the movement distance, speed, acceleration of the user operation element 14, and the calculated range of physical activity of the user. , physical activity speed, force value and energy consumption. After the end of the exercise, the control unit 11 may upload the training result 126 of the integrated sports information to the remote device 30 for storage, and further analyze the user for the fitness status.

In an embodiment, the control unit 11 may compare the motion information and the personal training parameters 121 to determine whether to adjust the degree of resistance and selectively adjust the personal training parameters 121. For example, if the control unit 11 determines that the current user operation speed has a slow trend according to the motion information, it indicates that the user's current physical fitness cannot load the current training intensity, so the control unit 11 can control the stepless resistance source 13 to reduce the resistance. On the other hand, if the control unit 11 judges that the current user operation speed has a tendency to become faster based on the motion information, the control unit 11 can control the stepless resistance source 13 to increase the resistance. When the above situation occurs, the control unit 11 can automatically adjust the personal training parameter 121 or generate a prompt message to let the user know the above situation and decide whether to adjust the personal training parameter 121.

In one embodiment, the fitness training resistance system of the present invention further includes an integrated energy condition assessment unit 17. Since the physical fitness of the user changes every day, in order to avoid sports injuries, the physical condition assessment unit 17 can control the fitness equipment 10 to perform physical fitness tests on the user and perform fine adjustment of the personal training parameters according to the test results. 121. The physical condition assessment unit 17 can be built into the stepless exercise device 10 or external to the stepless exercise device 10.

In the case where the personal training parameter 121 is adjusted, the control unit 11 may upload the adjusted personal training parameter 121 to the remote device 30. Thereby, the user can more easily update the personal training parameters 121 at any time.

In one embodiment, the fitness training resistance system of the present invention further includes a video output unit 16, such as a screen, a camera or a speaker, to display or play a fitness instruction content. For example, during the user's fitness process, the remote coach can obtain the current user's exercise information, and the user's fitness condition can be used to guide the user by video or voice.

Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flow chart showing the method for adjusting the fitness training resistance control of the present invention. In the figure, the fitness training resistance control adjustment method of the present invention is applicable to a stepless fitness equipment having a data transmission function. The steps of performing the fitness training resistance control adjustment method of the present invention will be described below with reference to the fitness training resistance system of FIG. 1.

At step S20, a person training parameter 121 is stored in a remote device 30.

In step S21, the stepless exercise device 10 is connected to the remote device 30 in a wired or wireless manner, whereby the personal training parameters 121 are downloaded to the stepless exercise device 10.

In step S22, the stepless exercise device 10 is controlled to execute the exercise program 122 to output a resistance for a user's fitness based on the personal training parameter 121. The motion program 122 has a preset resistance setting function 123 and an adjustable parameter 124 in a relative relationship with the position, velocity or acceleration of the user operating element 14.

In step S23, the position, velocity or acceleration at which the user operating element 14 of the stepless exercise device 10 is operated is detected.

At step S24, during the user's exercise, the resistance is dynamically changed based on the detected position, velocity or acceleration and the adjustable parameter 124. Among them, the way of dynamically changing the resistance has been described in the above, and therefore will not be described again here.

In an embodiment, before the user performs fitness, the fitness training resistance system of the present invention further comprises controlling the stepless fitness equipment 10 to perform a physical condition test on the user, and adjusting the personal training parameter 121 according to a test result.

Please also refer to FIG. 5, which is an operational flowchart of an embodiment of the fitness training resistance system of the present invention. In the figure, the stepless exercise device 10 is started in step S51, and the training mode is set in step S52, for example, the user sets directly on the stepless exercise device 10 or downloads from the cloud.

After the training mode is set, the parameters corresponding to the selected training mode are set in step S53. This parameter is related to the generation of training resistance, such as training action category, range of limb activity, resistance value, power, time, number of cycles, or K value. In other embodiments, the physical state assessment may be additionally performed in step S62, the current physical condition of the user is determined, and the parameters determined in step S53 are adjusted according to the physical condition. Alternatively, in other embodiments, an additional parameter recommendation may be provided by an external coach or repository at step S63.

Next, the training is started in step S54. In step S55, during the user's use of the user operating element 14, the stepless exercise device 10 begins to provide resistance.

In step S56, the user's motion information, such as the moving distance, speed or acceleration of the user's operating element 14, is detected to calculate the user's range of physical activity, limb movement speed, force value, or work. It is determined in step S57 whether the current motion information matches the parameter set in step S53. If they match, it means that the user's exercise is normal, and the process returns to step S55.

If it does not match, it means that the current resistance value needs to be adjusted, then the resistance value is increased or decreased in step S58. For example, the magnitude of the adjustment can be determined by multiplying the motion information detected in step S56 by the K value set in step S53.

Since the need to adjust the resistance value may indicate that the user is tired, then in step S59, the user is asked whether to end the exercise. If so, the training result is stored in step S60, and the training result is uploaded to the cloud server for storage and analysis in step S61.
