In one aspect of the disclosure, a method that involves keeping state of a video workout program may include communicatively coupling a server in a cloud network to an exercise machine through a first network connection, communicatively coupling the server to a network device through a second network connection, the server providing a video workout program to the exercise machine for execution at the exercise machine to enable a user to perform at least a portion of a workout of the video workout program on the exercise machine, the server keeping state of the video workout program during execution of the video workout program based on inputs from the exercise machine and the network device, and taking an action based on the state. The action may include synchronizing multiple displays, adaptively scaling the video workout program, and/or generating and providing an exercise machine control command to the exercise machine.

According to one example, a training device includes a first set of time of flight sensors (ToF) positioned to face in a first direction, a plurality of addressable red, green, blue light emitting diodes (RGB LEDs) positioned to face in the first direction, and a second set of ToF sensors positioned to face in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The training device includes and/or is in communication with one or more processors that can determine a training program for a user that includes visual signals that represent a plurality of actions for performance by the user. Also, for each of the plurality of actions, the training device can cause a first set of the plurality of addressable RGB LEDs to provide a visual indication of the corresponding action for performance by the user, and detect whether the user performed the corresponding action.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, a device, and a computer-readable storage medium for arranging exercise intensity. The method includes: obtaining a user’s personal information and an exercise session, where the exercise session corresponds to an exercise fatigue; and providing a recommended exercise intensity for the exercise session based on at least the personal information and the exercise fatigue.

Controlling access to a stationary exercise machine. In one aspect of the disclosure, a method may include establishing one or more authorized users of a stationary exercise machine having one or more moveable members, automatically locking the one or more moveable members of the stationary exercise machine, and receiving a request to perform a workout on the stationary exercise machine. In response to the receiving of the request to perform the workout on the stationary exercise machine, the method may include automatically determining whether any of the one or more authorized users is proximate to the stationary exercise machine. In response to automatically determining that one of the one or more authorized users is proximate to the stationary exercise machine, the method may include automatically unlocking the one or more moveable members of the stationary exercise machine to enable the workout to be performed on the stationary exercise machine.

Disclosed is a device for exercising muscles and balance including a board with a support surface to accommodate at least one person performing a physical exercise, a static support structure, a suspension between the static structure and the board adapted to maintain this latter suspended and raised off the ground and first actuator of the suspension mounted on the static structure, in which the suspension includes elongated flexible elements with a first end connected to the first actuator and a second opposite end connected to the board, the actuator being controllable by a control unit adapted to generate a sequence of activation and deactivation signals to move the suspension and, therefore, to vary the height or the tilt of the board or both.

The present invention concerns a new individually tailored exercise training and rehabilitation technique, referred to as “MPT: Medical Personal Trainer”. More precisely, the invention concerns an innovative method to be used in the field of physical activity and exercise training/rehabilitation programs for healthy individuals and for patients with chronic diseases. It merges together, in an interactive way, advanced notions from medicine, engineering, mathematics, artificial intelligence, in order to provide new clinical perspectives for automatic personalized health care as well as novel insights on individually-tailored management and advanced treatment, in a user-familiar setting, of healthy subjects (including elderly) and patients with chronic diseases.

When controlling load torque of a drive unit on the basis of a biological signal detected from a subject's lower limb parts, adjustments are made to a hybrid ratio of voluntary control to generate running torque and a rotational speed of a crank according to the subject's intention and autonomous control to generate assisting power for the subject's pedaling motion on the basis of a rotation angle of the crank.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for automatically adjusting an exercise prescription based on an exercise heart rate. The apparatus includes: a heart rate detection device, configured to detect a resting heart rate and a user's real-time exercise heart rate; an exercise movement library, configured to store various exercise instruction video and audio, and provide movement guidance for the user; an exercise guidance module, configured to retrieve and display movement video and audio from the exercise movement library to the user; and a central processing unit (CPU), configured to acquire the resting heart rate and the user's real-time exercise heart rate, calculate an effective exercise target heart rate range based on the resting heart rate, determine whether the real-time exercise heart rate falls within the effective exercise target heart rate range.

A smart exercise device includes an interface comprising a smart mirror configured to present information pertaining to a treatment plan being performed by a user while the user interacts with the smart exercise device. A processing device is configured to cause the smart exercise device to perform one or more functions related to the treatment plan, such as cause one or more preventative actions to be performed based on whether the processing device receives one or more messages, cause one or more content items to be presented to the user on the interface, assign the treatment plan to the smart exercise device based on a determined eligibility of the user, and implement the treatment plan to reduce a probability of a cardiac intervention for the user.
