Abstract

A measurement system for use in an exercise machine (100), which exercise machine comprises a lifting mechanism (114) and an engaging member (110) for selectively engaging a number of stacked weights(102) to the lifting mechanism, the measurement system comprising a pair of cooperating members including a range meter (111) and a reflector member (1101), wherein one of the cooperating members is connected to the lifting mechanism and the other of the cooperating members is connected to the engaging member, wherein the range meter is directed to measure a distance to the reflector member to determine a distance which correlates to the weight of the selectively engaged weights.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to devices, systems and methods for measuring, transmitting, recording and displaying information related to physical exercise, and more particularly to a measurement system for use in fitness equipment (or exercise equipment), The exercise machine includes a lift mechanism to selectively engage a plurality of weights. Background technique [0002] In recent years, there has been a substantial explosion in the popularity of exercise and physical fitness. There are many popular forms of physical exercise including, for example, running, cycling, and weight training. The growing interest in weight training is reflected in the growing number of gyms found in both public and private settings. [0003] There are various types of weight training equipment. Typical weight machines, for example, use gravity as the primary source of resistance. Combinations of simple equipment (eg, pulleys, levers, wheels, ramps, etc....
