Group Exercise System with Automatic Level Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In group exercise settings, participants with varying fitness levels often struggle to maintain synchronization with the trainer's exercise level, leading to exhaustion or dissatisfaction, as they must manually adjust their exercise levels during high-intensity interval training.
Innovation Solution
A group exercise system that includes exercise instructing equipment and participating equipment, along with a leaderboard module and a level instruction module, allows for automatic adjustment of exercise levels based on the trainer's level and real-time performance rankings of participants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If participants manually adjust exercise level to match trainer's level, then exercise level synchronization is improved, but participant fatigue and dropout increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments participants into different exercise level groups based on their fitness capabilities. Instead of requiring all participants to maintain the same exercise level as the trainer, the system creates multiple synchronized exercise levels (e.g., Level 1, Level 2, Level 3) that participants can be automatically assigned to based on their performance metrics, thereby reducing fatigue while maintaining synchronization within each group
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically adjusts each participant's exercise level based on their own performance data without requiring manual intervention. The exercise apparatus continuously monitors performance metrics and autonomously determines the appropriate exercise level, eliminating the need for participants to manually adjust settings and reducing cognitive load and fatigue
2Adaptability or versatility
If participants manually adjust exercise level during high-intensity interval training, then personal fitness level adaptation is improved, but attentional resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise apparatus automatically monitors performance metrics and adjusts exercise levels without requiring participant attention. The system continuously tracks metrics such as power output, heart rate, or movement patterns and autonomously determines when to transition between exercise levels during HIIT intervals, freeing participants to focus entirely on the exercise itself
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback loops where performance metrics are continuously measured and fed back to the control system. Based on this feedback, the exercise level is dynamically adjusted during HIIT intervals, ensuring participants receive appropriate challenges without requiring manual intervention or attentional resources
3Stability of the object's composition
If exercise level is synchronized for all participants, then group exercise consistency is improved, but individual exercise effectiveness decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the group into multiple synchronized exercise level tiers. Each tier maintains consistent exercise levels among its members while different tiers operate at different difficulty levels. This segmentation allows the group to maintain overall consistency through structured progression while ensuring individual effectiveness through personalized level assignment based on fitness capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different exercise levels to different participants based on their individual fitness characteristics. Instead of uniform exercise levels for all participants, the system tailors the exercise intensity locally to each participant's capabilities while maintaining synchronization within their assigned level group, thereby improving individual exercise effectiveness without compromising group consistency

AI summary
A group exercise system includes an exercise instructing equipment, a plurality of exercise participating equipment, a leaderboard module and a level instruction module. The exercise instructing equipment have a first electronic device providing a demonstration exercise information which includes an exercise level of a first exercise apparatus used by a trainer to perform a demonstration exercise. The plurality of exercise participating equipment each have a second exercise apparatus and a second electronic device, and the second electronic device adjusts an exercise level of the second exercise apparatus used by a participant to perform a simulation exercise. The leaderboard module is configured to update a performance ranking. The level instruction module is configured to instruct the second electronic devices of all the exercise participating equipment to adjust the exercise level of the second exercise apparatus according to the exercise level of the first exercise apparatus at one or more adjustment times.
