Abstract

Stationary exercise equipment for physical training, more particularly an exercise bike, comprising a frame with a movement unit which either is to be moved by the exerciser or is itself driven and interacts with the exerciser, one or more sensors, assigned to the movement unit and/or the exerciser, for capturing measured values, and a computer apparatus for establishing one or more items of measurement-value-related information, which are output on a frame-side display apparatus, letterized in that provision is made for a first display apparatus, which is directed at the exerciser for displaying one or more items of information, and in that provision is made for a second display apparatus, which is directed at the opposite side for outputting at least one item of information.

Claims (18)

1. A stationary exercise equipment for physical training, comprising:

a frame with a movement unit that is configured to be moved by an exerciser or is itself driven and interacts with the exerciser,

one or more sensors, assigned to the movement unit or configured to be assigned to the exerciser, for capturing measured values,

a computer apparatus for establishing one or more items of measurement-value-related information,

a first display apparatus directed rearward at the exerciser for displaying one or more items of information, and

a second display apparatus mounted on the frame on a front side of the stationary exercise equipment and directed frontward for outputting at least one item of information to a different person other than the exerciser in front of the stationary exercise equipment,

wherein an identical color-coded information indicating a current training zone of the exerciser is displayed on the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus simultaneously so that the current training zone is displayed to the exerciser and to the different person, wherein the current training zone is one of a plurality of training zones, each of the training zones corresponding to a different percentage interval of the maximum heart rate of the exerciser or a different percentage interval of power in relation to an index value, and each of the plurality of training zones is assigned a respective zone-specific color as the color-coded information;

wherein the identical color-coded information is output by a flashing display having a flashing operation on each of the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus, wherein the flashing operation displays change in the current training zone.

2. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the frame has at least one vertical or at least one horizontal brace, on which the second display apparatus is arranged.

3. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 2 , wherein the second display apparatus is integrated into the vertical or horizontal brace.

4. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of identical items of information are adapted to simultaneously be displayed by the first and the second display apparatus.

5. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the zone-specific color is presented as a display background on the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus.

6. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the identical color-coded information is displayed on both displays by letters, text or symbols.

7. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the first display apparatus, the second display apparatus and the computer apparatus are arranged on or in a common housing.

8. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the color-coded information is presented as zone-specific colored letters.

9. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein each of the training zones corresponds to a different percentage interval of the maximum heart rate of the exerciser.

10. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein each of the training zones corresponds to a different percentage interval of power in Watts in relation to an index value.

11. The stationary exercise equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the second display apparatus is switchable on/off independently.
