  • Patent number: 11260269
    Abstract: An apparatus for an exercise task includes a pneumatic arrangement, which includes a pressure source, a pneumatic controller, pneumatic transfer channels, and at least one pneumatic resistor element, which includes a pneumatic cylinder with its piston. The apparatus additionally includes a mechanical lever arm structure or another mechanical connecting structure, which is for a user's limb contact and which is at a second end connected to the pneumatic resistor element. The apparatus additionally includes a sensor structure, a calculation arrangement and a display. The sensor structure is arranged to measure at least one measurement quantity of the exercise task and, based on the measurement, the calculation arrangement is arranged to form information on the display of the apparatus, regarding the power and/or force and/or range of motion of the exercise task.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10631761
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for performing the method are disclosed. The method includes obtaining cardiac output power data on a user; obtaining kinetic data characterizing physical exercise intensity of the physical exercise performed by the user; detecting that a measured cardiac output power exceeds a first threshold or that physical exercise intensity changes according to a rate exceeding a second threshold; upon the detecting, determining a synthetic cardiac output power parameter based at least partly on the kinetic data; and outputting the synthetic cardiac output power parameter.

  • Patent number: 10311687
    Abstract: A method in an activity tracking apparatus configured to be worn by a user includes obtaining, by the activity tracking apparatus, motion data from one or more sensors, wherein the motion data characterizes motion of the activity tracking apparatus; and controlling, based on the motion data, characteristics of a vibration causing a haptic output, wherein the haptic output is configured to be output as a response to an event on the activity tracking apparatus. Corresponding apparatus and computer programs are also disclosed.
