  • Patent number: 11872449
    Abstract: A method for controlling variation of workout parameters of a user on an exercise machine includes checking, by a data processing module of a remote electronic calculator operatively connected to the exercise machine that a trigger condition of a cycle of workout progression steps is met. If the trigger condition is met, the method includes acquiring the last workout progression step performed by the user, identifying a successive workout progression step, setting workout parameters associated with the workout progression step to be performed, the workout progression step having associated a variation of at least one workout parameter of the user for updating a previously set value of the at least one workout parameter, updating the previously set value according to the variation of the at least one workout parameter, and sending the workout parameters to a data processing unit of the exercise machine value.

  • Publication number: 20230321492
    Abstract: A training method on a strength exercise machine is usable by a user to perform a strength exercise, as a series of repetitions, for training the power generable by the user in at least one first workload regimen. In case a determined or detected power peak value is either higher than or equal to a stored maximum-power reference value, the steps of updating the stored target power value as a function of the generated power peak value determined or detected, updating the stored maximum-power reference value to the determined or detected power peak value, and resetting a counter variable value are performed. In case the determined or detected power peak value is lower than the stored reference maximum power value, a step of incrementing the stored counter variable value is performed. The method is performed for each further repetition of the first workout series.

  • Publication number: 20230124164
    Abstract: A method for estimating a maximum power value generatable by a user during a resistance training exercise on an exercise machine includes executing at least three resistance training exercises. The push load to be set for the third execution of the resistance training exercise depends on the comparison of the last measured power peak value with the power peak values measured during the previous executions of the resistance training exercise.

  • Publication number: 20220134186
    Abstract: A method for controlling exercise load variations in a strength exercise machine, includes, at a current time instant ti, detecting an exercise position within a set range of motion of a user, and checking if a previously set trigger condition of an exercise load variation includes the detected exercise position of the user within the set range of motion. If a previously set trigger condition of an exercise load variation includes the detected exercise position of the user within a respective range of motion, the method includes setting a trigger condition of an exercise load variation as the current trigger condition of exercise load variation having a first speed threshold for execution of motion by the user, and reducing an exercise load based on a comparison of speed for execution of motion by the user and the first speed threshold.
