For example, on November 22, 2021, you can enter information that you performed 3 sets of 15 exercises of the type of bench press. In addition, in the case of muscle enhancement exercise, the weight of the barbell used by the user may be input.

The input information is transmitted to the platform server 300, and the member record providing unit 330 provides a graph of the degree of overload for each day, 1RM (maximum weight that can be lifted at one time), Calculate the maximum weight (the highest weight actually lifted by the member) and the maximum volume (value multiplied by the barbell weight, number of sets, and number of exercises in each set), and output the result as shown in FIG. 3 can do.

The measured result is transmitted to the trainer terminal 100 and the member terminal 200 .

The feedback providing unit 340 enables a trainer who has confirmed the member's actual diet information and exercise program information to input and transmit feedback information therefor through the trainer terminal 100, and to input and transmit the following diet and exercise program information. . The exercise program information may be input in the form of directly photographed image information.

In addition, after receiving the information shown in FIG. 3, the trainer may create future exercise program information suitable for the member and transmit it to the member terminal 100.

It is important for the muscle enhancing exercise to gradually increase the degree of overload, that is, to gradually increase the degree of overload. Exercise information for gradually increasing the degree of overload can be input and transmitted.

Based on the measured result (the result of FIG. 3 ), the feedback providing unit 340 determines the degree of deviation from the threshold range when the increase rate of the overload degree (the amount of increase or decrease in the overload degree per unit period) of the corresponding member is not within the threshold range. A value (a value in which the amount of increase or decrease in overload for each unit period is out of a critical range) may be calculated and transmitted to the trainer terminal 100, and after the trainer checks this value, the exercise to be performed by the corresponding member in the future for progressive overload Information on the type, number of exercises, number of sets, etc. may be input and transmitted. The transmitted information is transmitted to the member terminal 200 through the platform server 300 .

The feedback providing unit 340 according to an embodiment may compare diet information and exercise program information transmitted from the first trainer terminal 100 with actual diet information and exercise program information transmitted from the member terminal 200 .

The feedback providing unit 340 may provide a description input interface allowing a simple evaluation to be left in the trainer terminal 100 when both of the results of the comparison match.

In addition, when the comparison result is inconsistent between the two, it is possible to provide the trainer terminal 100 with an interface for taking and uploading a video to guide a new diet and exercise program. Meanwhile, the feedback providing unit 340 may determine the degree of difference between the information transmitted from the trainer terminal 100 and the information transmitted from the member terminal 200 .

In the diet information, if a vegetable diet is guided, but the actual diet transmitted from the member terminal 200 is a meat diet, the degree of the difference will be severe. To calculate the degree of this difference, the similarity of each diet may be tabulated and stored in advance.

For example, the similarity between a diet containing sweet potatoes and a diet containing potatoes would be high. The similarity of each diet may be set higher as the sum of calories of food included in each diet is similar.

The lower the degree of similarity, the greater the degree of difference between diets, and the feedback providing unit 340 may calculate the degree of difference and provide it to the trainer terminal 100 and the member terminal 200. After confirming this calculation result, the trainer can immediately determine how much feedback to give to the member.

Meanwhile, in the exercise program information, similarities for each exercise may be pre-stored.

As for the similarity by exercise type, in the case of aerobic exercise and muscle exercise, the similarity is set to the lowest, and within the aerobic exercise type, the similarity between each exercise type is set as the calorie consumption per hour is similar.

In addition, in the case of muscle exercise, the higher the identity of the muscle part to be stimulated, the higher the degree of similarity.

In this way, the similarity for each exercise may be set in advance, and according to this criterion, the exercise program guide information transmitted from the trainer terminal 100 and the actual exercise information transmitted from the member terminal 200 are compared, difference can be judged.

The corresponding difference value is transmitted to the trainer terminal 100 and the member terminal 200. After confirming this calculation result, the trainer can immediately determine how much feedback to give to the member.
