Wireless game controller can provide variable resistance during strength training exercise and is coupled with off the shelf video gaming system such as Nintendo WII or personal computer by bluetooth or WiFI connection. The resistance is provided by a motor / generator. Electrical recuperation occurs between eccentric and concentric steps of the exercise, electrical energy is stored in a super capacitor between the steps. Video gaming system is configurable to run exercise software that provide reinforcing game experience, coaching, and physical therapy to the user. Exercise software tracks user's pose using fiduciary marks on the controller and data from 3d accelerometer embedded in the controller. The resistance is computed as a function of one or more the following: exercise type, position, velocity, user profile, and repetition number.

A treadmill system includes a deck, an endless tread belt covering at least a portion of the deck, and a motion transducer positioned to detect movement of the tread belt. The treadmill system also includes a processor and memory where the memory includes instructions executable by the processor to receive an output of the motion transducer, determine an exercise type performed on the tread belt, and calculate an amount of work performed by a user on the tread belt based on the output of the motion transducer and the determined type of exercise.

Disclosed is an exercise-data management system, which comprises a wristband 8 including an IC chip 7 recording therein unique information for authenticating a participant, a studio gate 3 set up in a studio and adapted to wirelessly receive and read the unique information recorded in the IC chip, and an exercise-data management server apparatus 4. The studio gate 3 is operable, when the unique information is read, to transmit information indicating the read to the exercise-data management server apparatus 4. The exercise-data management server apparatus 4 includes a schedule storage section which stores, as a schedule, a location and a time zone in which an exercise is to be performed, and stores a standard consumed calorie value in association with an exercise type, and a total-consumed-calorie calculation section operable, based on the received unique information and the contents stored in the schedule storage section, to acquire a consumed calorie value for a participant corresponding to the unique information. The exercise-data management system of the present invention allows the studio gate 3 as a reader apparatus to read the unique information of the wristband 8 as portable unique-information storage means, through a one-time operation.

An example system includes a processor and communication circuitry under the control of the processor. The communication circuitry is configured to communicate exercise programs to exercise apparatuses, the communicated exercise programs including a first exercise program for use in controlling an exercise apparatus of a first exercise type and a second exercise program for use in controlling an exercise apparatus of a second exercise type different than the first exercise type.

A method and system for providing a sound source suitable for an exercise state of a user by recognizing the exercise state of the user by measuring heart rate and exercise speed of the user. The method includes: determining a standard heart rate; measuring a heart rate of a user; measuring an exercise speed of the user; comparing the measured heart rate and the standard heart rate; when a difference between the both heart rates is more than a predetermined value, generating compensated exercise speed information based on the difference and the measured exercise speed; and replaying a sound source according to the compensated exercise speed information. According to the exercise state management method, heart rate suitable for the type, intensity, or time of exercise selected by the user and a sound source suitable for exercise speed are provided, thereby improving satisfaction and effectiveness of the exercise.

A portable evaluator of amount of exercise detects an acceleration and angular speed of the user. After using an exercise identifying procedure to identify the exercise type, the portable evaluator finds a corresponding strength formula to evaluate the amount of exercise done by the user. The result is displayed for reference. By detecting the acceleration and angular speed, the portable evaluator identifies exercise types that involve rotations. Different formulas are used for different kinds of exercise.
