Methods and apparatus for managing sequential tasks via task specific user interface elements
11541278 · 2023-01-03 · ·

Systems, apparatus, and methods for managing workouts via exercise specific user interface elements. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to exercise specific user interface elements (e.g., floating smart timers, etc.) that are automatically pre-populated with data based on prescribed workout information. The user is provided a workout that includes a number of different exercises, and their prescribed completion values. The user can perform the workout and quickly log the pre-populated completion values (if accurate), or alternatively manually enter actual workout data. Additionally, the user can quickly transition through their “checklist” of exercises, based on the prescribed ordering of the workout. The resulting workout data record can be automatically logged at the end of the workout session. The exercise specific user interface allows a user to log workout activity with minimal distraction.

BALANCE TRAINING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Systems and methods are disclosed for human balance training. The systems and methods involve intermittently occluding the vision of a subject while the subject is engaged in a balance activity, such as walking on a balance beam, for example. Creating a brief period of continuous visual occlusion results in posterior parietal cortex activation, leading to enhanced balance training. The end result is much greater improvement in balance compared to physical training alone.

Systems and methods for an interactive pedaled exercise device

An exercise device includes a frame, handlebars supported by the frame, and a computing device. The handlebars include a yoke that is movable relative to the frame, a biasing element positioned between the yoke and the frame, and a sensor configured to measure a movement of the yoke.

ACTIVITY TRACKING AND FEEDBACK IN REAL-TIME SHARED VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT
