Abstract

The training machine assembly comprises at least one control device and at least one training resistance. Each of the at least one training resistance comprises at least one training resistance value, such as a force applied towards the user contact element, e.g. a handle. The training resistance value can also comprise a function or a vector, for example a function linking a speed of movement of a user and/or a user contact element and a force applied against said movement. The control device can be a control device for controlling the training machine assembly. The training resistance can comprise an actuator. The actuator can comprise an electric motor. The training resistance can comprise a weight. The training resistance can comprise another element configured to provide a resistance against a movement of the user. The training machine assembly can comprise at least one camera.

Claims (49)

1. A system comprising a plurality of training machine assemblies, each of the training machine assemblies comprising:

(i) at least one control device, and

(ii) at least one training resistance, wherein each training resistance comprises at least one training resistance value;

wherein the at least one training resistance is automatically adjustable, and wherein the training machine assembly is configured to adjust the at least one training resistance;

wherein the system is configured for generating heart rate data of a user and for processing user plan data;

wherein the user plan data comprise data relating to a plurality of user exercises;

wherein the system is configured for adapting the user plan data relating to a next exercise of the user based at least on a measure for an increase and/or a decrease of the heart rate of the user during a current exercise; and

wherein the measure for the increase and/or the decrease of the user's heart rate comprises a rise-time and/or a fall-time of the user's heart rate relative to a resting heart rate of the user.

2. The system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the adapting the user plan data relating to the next exercise of the user is based at least on temporal changes of the user's heart rate during (i) a current, and/or (ii) the current and at least one preceding user exercise of the user.

3. The system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the adapting the user plan data relating to the next exercise of the user is based at least on a measure for an increase and/or a decrease of the heart rate of the user during the current and at least one is preceding user exercise of the user.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the user plan data comprise data relating to the training resistance for a plurality of exercises and wherein adapting of the user plan data comprises adapting the data relating to the training resistance based on the measure for the increase and/or the decrease of the heart rate of the user.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the system is a system for strength training, and wherein the system is a system for circuit training.

6. A data processing system, wherein the data processing system is configured to receive data, send data, and process data,

wherein the data processing system is configured to at least one of:

receive user plan data, and/or

generate the user plan data, and/or

store the user plan data,

wherein the user plan data comprise data relating to a plurality of user exercises, an indication of suitable training machine assemblies for each user exercise, and data relating to training resistances for a plurality of exercises, and

wherein the data processing system is configured for adapting the user plan data relating to a next exercise of the user based on a measure for an increase and/or a decrease of a heart rate of a user during a current exercise;

wherein the measure for the increase and/or the decrease of the user's heart rate comprises a rise-time and/or a fall-time of the user's heart rate relative to a resting heart rate of the user.

7. The data processing system according to claim 6 ,

wherein the data processing system is configured for determining temporal changes in the heart rate of the user;

wherein the data processing system is configured for adapting the user plan data relating to the next exercise of the user further based on the temporal changes of the heart rate of the user relating to at least one of (i) the current and/or (ii) the current as well as at least one preceding user exercise of the user.

8. The data processing system according to claim 6 ,

wherein the data processing system is configured to determine the measure for the increase and/or the decrease of the heart rate of the user;

wherein the data processing system is configured for adapting the user plan data relating to the next exercise of the user based on the measure for the increase and/or the decrease of the heart rate of the user relating to the current as well as the at least one preceding user exercise of the user.

9. The data processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the data processing system is configured for controlling a plurality of training resistances of a plurality of training machine assemblies based on the user plan data.

10. The data processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the data processing system is configured to be connected to

a system comprising a plurality of training machine assemblies, each of the training machine assemblies comprising:

(i) at least one control device, and

(ii) at least one training resistance, wherein each training resistance comprises at least one training resistance value;

wherein the at least one training resistance is automatically adjustable, and the training machine assembly is configured to adjust the at least one training resistance;

wherein the system is configured for generating heart rate data of a user and for processing the user plan data.

11. A method comprising using a plurality of training machine assemblies, wherein the method comprises controlling the plurality of training machine assemblies;

wherein the method further comprises providing a plurality of training resistances to a user, each training resistance comprising a training resistance value;

wherein the method comprises automatically adjusting the plurality of training resistances,

wherein the method comprises detecting a heart rate of the user;

wherein the method comprises adjusting at least one of the training resistances;

wherein the method comprises processing and adapting user plan data;

wherein the user plan data comprise data relating to a plurality of user exercises;

wherein the method comprises adapting the user plan data relating to a next exercise of the user based at least on a measure for an increase or decrease of the heart rate of the user during a current exercise;

wherein the measure for the increase and/or the decrease of the user's heart rate comprises a rise-time and/or a fall-time of the user's heart rate relative to a resting heart rate of the user.

12. The method according to claim 11 ,

wherein the adapting the user plan data relating to the next exercise of the user is further based at least on at least one of:

(a) temporal changes of the heart rate of the user during at least one of: (i) a current, and/or (ii) the current and at least one preceding user exercise of the user; and/or

(b) the measure for the increase and/or the decrease of the heart rate of the user during the current as well as at least one preceding user exercise of the user, the measure particularly comprising a rise-time and/or a fall time of the heart rate of the user to a certain value.
