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.

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.

Abstract: A system for determining and storing identification data of a user and training data relating of the user in a training space, includes a central data processing unit; a central memory unit; an image acquisition device; an exercise machine; and an exercise tool free from an actuator operable during physical exercise. The image acquisition device acquires identification images of the user, images representative of the user while performing a bodyweight physical exercise, images representative of the user and of the exercise machine while performing a physical exercise using the exercise machine, images representative of the user and of the exercise tool while performing a physical exercise using the exercise tool. Identification data and training data of the user is determined based on the images acquired by the image acquisition device. The device stores the determined identification data and training data inside the training space in the central memory unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to selectively adjustable speed and incline levels for treadmills. An example treadmill includes a platform around which a belt rotates, a drive motor for controlling a speed of rotation of the belt, a linear motor for controlling an incline of the platform, a human machine interface configured to receive from a user a first selection regarding at least one of the speed of rotation of the belt and the incline of the platform, at least one manual lever configured to receive from the user a second selection to respectively refine the first selection, and at least one controller that selectively changes the speed of rotation of the belt or the incline of the platform based on the first selection received by the human machine interface, and selectively and respectively refines the first selection based on the second selection received by the at least one manual lever.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (S) for monitoring the weight adjustment of a dumbbell, which can be used by a user to perform a gymnastic exercise, comprising: a dumbbell (2), provided with a handle (21), having an axial development along an axis (R), able to rotate around said axis (R), clockwise and counterclockwise, and provided with a first end (211) and a second end (212), a first plurality of weights (P1), wherein each weight can be individually coupled to said first end (211), when said handle (21) rotates in one direction, and decoupled from said first end (211), when said handle (21) rotates in the opposite direction, a second plurality of weights (P2), wherein each weight can be individually coupled to said second end (212), when said handle (21) rotates in one direction, and decoupled from said second end (212), when said handle (21) rotates in the opposite direction, wherein said system (S) is characterised in that it comprises an element provided with a plurality of reflective portions

Abstract: A method for unlocking a control unit of an exercise machine includes providing the exercise machine, having at least one sensor for detecting presence of a user on the exercise machine, with at least one electrical signal representative of a detection carried out at the time of the occupation of the exercise machine by a user. The method further includes switching, by the exercise machine, the control unit of the exercise machine from a first locking condition to at least a second operating condition in which the user may issue commands to the exercise machine by the control unit, based on the at least one electrical signal provided by said at least one sensor for detecting the presence of the user on the exercise machine.

The exercise machine (100) includes at least one lighting device (2), the at least one lighting device (2) being positioned on the exercise machine (100) so as to identify the at least one control device (1) with which the exercise machine (100) is provided when the at least one lighting device (2) is lit.

Abstract: A method determines running phases of a user on a treadmill having first and second rotating elements rotating about respective rotational axes transverse to a longitudinal axis of the treadmill. A physical exercise surface connects to the rotating elements. An electric motor operatively associated with one rotating element rotates the rotating elements and the physical exercise surface. A processor connects to the electric motor and controls the electric motor. The processor determines a magnitude variable over time, which is correlated to user interaction with the exercise surface while exercising and has a periodic trend. The processor determines time instants of at least two points of the periodic trend. The time instants of each point representing instants of user interaction with the exercise surface. The processor determines a running phase of the user on the exercise surface as a function of the respective time instants of the periodic trend.
