Embodiment Construction
[0098]The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1-26 of the drawings. Identical elements in the various figures are designated with the same reference numerals.
[0099]The exercise monitoring and recording system according to the present invention is designed to attach to most, if not all, existing cable-based resistance exercise equipment to record the progress of a user's performance in exercising over time. Such a record is useful in the fields of sports performance for training and assessment as well as for medical rehabilitation. This system is particularly adapted for use with the exercise equipment which is shown and described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,102,122 and 6,705,976, both of which have been incorporated herein by reference.
[0100]The system according to the present invention has at least one electronic force sensor such as a “load cell” for monitoring the amount of resistance and / or the force in a resistance member. The sy...

Abstract
A system is disclosed for monitoring, recording and analysis of exercise in an exercise machine with a device, such as a handle, that enables a user to push or pull against a resistance. A sensor or “load cell” mounted on the machine produces an electronic signal representing the instantaneous force applied by the user, and an electronic computer or the like, is coupled to receive the electronic signal, for storing values representing the force as a function of time. In another embodiment, a system comprises a resistance member for providing resistance to movement by a user, a sensing device coupled to the resistance member, a force sensor, and a CPU. The sensing device generates a first signal representing the position of the resistance member, and the force sensor generates a second signal representing the force applied to the resistance member by the user. The CPU processes the first and second signals to generate useful images, displays, and audio signals.
