A device for performing blood flow restriction training during the day, integrated with a garment, and controllable to apply a desired compression level to a range of muscles with the intent on improving the health and fitness of a user doing normal daily activities.

Described herein are methods for determining a target musculoskeletal activity cycle (MSKC) to cardiac cycle (CC) timing relationship. The method may include detecting a first characteristic of a signal responsive to a CC timing of a user that repeats at a frequency that corresponds to a heart rate of the user; detecting a second characteristic of a signal responsive to a rhythmic musculoskeletal cycle activity (MSKC) timing of the user that repeats at a frequency that corresponds to the MSKC rate of the user; determining a value representative of an actual timing relationship between the first characteristic and the second characteristic; detecting a third characteristic of a signal corresponding to a physiological metric that varies with the actual timing relationship between the first and second characteristics; and determining a target value representative of a preferred timing relationship between the first and second characteristics.

An exercise machine accessory system for facilitating exerciser rehydration during a workout and antibacterial machine wipe down. The exercise machine accessory system generally includes an exercise machine having a first end and a second end, first and second stationary exercise platforms, a movable carriage movably positioned upon a rail, a biasing member connected to the movable carriage, first and second handle assemblies connected to the frame of the exercise machine, a first bottle holder, a first antibacterial wipes dispenser and/or a first disposal receptacle connected to the first right handle assembly or the first left handle assembly.

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of performing a pressure measurement, the mobile terminal including a pressure sensor, a main body having an inner space to accommodate the pressure sensor therein, a cover configured to cover at least part of the main body, and a hole formed through the cover to allow an introduction of external air into the inner space, and located to face the pressure sensor.

A system (100) for training a subject such that the subject includes an input unit (102) having a number of sensors (112) that are configured to detect a number of physiological parameters of a user. A processing unit (104) is configured to receive the number of physiological parameters for comparing the number of physiological parameters with a set of predefined physiological parameters to generate a baseline signal (116A). An output unit (106) is configured to generate an instruction signal (118A) upon receipt of the baseline signal (116A) and a regulating unit (108) that is configured to regulate a speed of a game associated with a gamification engine (110) and a speed of an exercising apparatus (200) upon receipt of the instruction signal (118A).

The present disclosure relates, in various embodiments, to improved simulation technology for use with a stationary training system. In some embodiments, this includes use of sensors, for example, wearable sensors, to control simulation parameters (such as display and/or performance parameters). For example, in some embodiments, a body worn sensor, such as an accelerometer and/or gyroscope, is used thereby to infer body position attributes of a user and, in response, configure one or more simulation parameters. These may include, for example, display parameters (for example, whether a simulated avatar is seated or standing) and/or performance parameters (for example, simulated wind resistance).

A cardiopulmonary rehabilitation assistance system is provided, including: a training unit, an exercise assistance unit, a physiological biosignal-monitoring unit and a control unit. The training unit includes an ergometer, and the exercise assistance unit includes an intake tube, an oxygen supply module configured to supply oxygen to the intake tube. The physiological biosignal-monitoring unit includes a blood oxygen saturation sensor configured to measure a blood oxygen saturation of a user, and the control unit controls the ergometer to perform an assisted exercise program. In the assisted exercise program, the control unit performs at least one of a training assistance program and an exercise safety program to meet different requirements. In the training assistance program, the control unit controls the oxygen supply module to supply extra oxygen when the blood oxygen saturation is out of a suggested saturation range.

The invention pertains to a stationary exercise bike along with a display that provides instruction to lead a rider through an exercise program. The invention allows a rider to obtain benefits of a group, instructor-led class though the rider's schedule does not permit the rider to participate in the class. The invention also describes a method of exercising with the foregoing bike and display.
