Real-Time Exercise Program Generation via Performance Data Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In gyms and health clubs, especially those without skilled personnel, creating personalized exercise programs for exercisers without professional guidance is challenging, as they lack the ability to gather and utilize real-time personal exercise information to tailor workouts effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that automatically gather personal exercise information during exercise events from exercise units, creating an exercise history and program in real-time, allowing for real-time adjustments and program changes based on the exerciser's performance and physical data, without the need for a personal trainer or physical therapist.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automated systems are used to create exercise programs without skilled personnel, then device complexity is reduced and accessibility is improved, but the reliability and accuracy of personalized exercise program creation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously collects exercise performance data from multiple exercise units, stores it in a database, and uses this feedback to automatically adjust and update exercise programs. The feedback loop ensures that the automated system refines its program recommendations based on actual user performance, improving reliability over time while maintaining ease of access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables exercisers to create and update their own personalized exercise programs automatically without requiring skilled personnel. The exercise units and central processing system work together to self-generate training programs based on collected performance data, making the service accessible to anyone while maintaining program quality through data-driven adjustments.
2Measurement precision
If real-time data collection from multiple exercise units is implemented, then the accuracy of exercise history creation is improved, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a universal data collection architecture where a single central processing system can handle data from multiple different exercise units through standardized interfaces. This multi-functional approach allows accurate data collection from various equipment types without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the central system performs multiple functions for different units.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a central processing system and database as intermediaries between exercise units and the exercise program creation process. These intermediaries standardize data collection from multiple sources, managing the complexity of real-time data gathering while ensuring accurate and consistent exercise history creation across all exercise units.
3Loss of time
If automated exercise program creation is used in environments without skilled personnel, then loss of time for program preparation is reduced, but the quality of personalization and professional guidance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical process of manual program creation by skilled personnel with an automated electronic system that uses algorithms and performance data to generate exercise programs. This substitution eliminates time loss associated with manual program preparation while compensating for the loss of professional guidance through data-driven, evidence-based program generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data collection and analysis during exercise sessions to automatically prepare updated exercise programs without requiring time for manual assessment. By continuously gathering performance information and pre-processing it through automated algorithms, the system eliminates program preparation time loss while maintaining quality through systematic data analysis.
