BESCHSEIBDNGDESCRIPTION

Beim Krafttraining in Fitness-Studios werden entweder manuell oder über mechanische Vorrichtungen Gewichte bewegt und darüber ein gewisser Trainingseffekt erzielt. Die Vorgaben des Trainers bezüglich Gewicht und Anzahl der Übungen, sowie die tatsächlich absolvierten Übungen werden zumeist vom Benutzer während dem Training in Listen eingetragen. Dieses Verfahren ist umständlich und bezüglich der Leistungsauswertung unbefriedigend. Bisher gab es jedoch keine mechanischen oder elektronischen Einrichtungen, um die erbrachte Leistung hinreichend zu bestimmen und aufzuzeichnen.During strength training in fitness studios, weights are moved either manually or using mechanical devices, thereby achieving a certain training effect. The trainer's instructions regarding weight and number of exercises, as well as the exercises actually completed, are usually entered into lists by the user during training. This process is cumbersome and unsatisfactory in terms of performance evaluation. However, up to now there have been no mechanical or electronic devices to adequately determine and record the performance achieved.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, dem Benutzer eine einfache Möglichkeit zu schaffen, damit er seine Leistungsdaten bequem und übersichtlich erfassen und auswerten kann. Dabei muß die Erfassung der Daten direkt am Ausführungsort der übung geschehen, während die Auswertung an einer zentralen Stelle erfolgen kann. Der Datenaustausch soll entweder über einen benutzerspezifischen Datenträger oder über eine Vernetzung der Erfassungsgeräte erfolgen* The aim of the invention is to provide the user with a simple way to record and evaluate his performance data conveniently and clearly. The data must be recorded directly at the place where the exercise is carried out, while the evaluation can be carried out at a central location. The data exchange should take place either via a user-specific data carrier or via a network of the recording devices*

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Gerät, das sich dadurch auszeichnet, daß es Meßdaten für eine oder mehrere Übungen erfassen kann. Ober eine Tastatur (1) am Gehäuse (2) können Befehle unfl Daten eingegeben werden. Eine alphanumerische elektronische Anzeige (3) zeigt die aktuellen Werte on. In einem Modul-Aufnehmer (4) kann der Benutzer ein Modul (5) einstecken. Dieses Modul beinhaltet einen nichtflüchtigen Speicher, in dem Vorgabe und Leistungsdaten abgespeichert werden. Das Modul wird später über ein Interface on einem marktüblichen Computer angeschlossen, wo die Daten weiterverarbeitet werden. This task is solved by a device that is characterized by the fact that it can record measurement data for one or more exercises. Commands and data can be entered via a keyboard (1) on the housing (2). An alphanumeric electronic display (3) shows the current values. The user can insert a module (5) into a module receiver (4). This module contains a non-volatile memory in which the target and performance data are stored. The module is later connected to a commercially available computer via an interface, where the data is further processed.

Außerdem let eine Vernetzung der einzelnen Geräte mit dem zentralen Computer möglich. Dies erfolgt über eine Dateneöhnittetelle (6) am Gerät.It is also possible to network the individual devices with the central computer. This is done via a data communication point (6) on the device.

Beim Bewegen der Gewichte ist die Leistung etete proportional zum Produkt aus Gewichtsmasse mal Hub. Zur Erfassung des Hubs an Kraftmaschinen dient hierbei ein Wegmeßsystem, das an das Gerät angeschlossen wird (9). Wenn hier von einem Wegmeßsystem die Rede ist, so sind hiermit jede Art von Schalteinrichtungen, insbesonWhen moving the weights, the power ete is proportional to the product of the weight mass times the stroke. A displacement measuring system connected to the device (9) is used to record the stroke on power machines. When we talk about a displacement measuring system here, we mean any type of switching device, in particular u5re 5ClCuS oCiiö &khgr; (.CiIiITxCiI uUriyön Cjeme&khgr;&idiagr;&idiagr;&igr;. , wcxCiie SxCu uürCii eiüiä-u5re 5ClCuS oCiiö &khgr; (.CiIiITxCiI uUriyön Cjeme&khgr;&idiagr;&idiagr;&igr;. , wcxCiie SxCu uürCii eiüiä- che Berührung oder praktisch berührungslos schalten lassen. Der Weg-Meßaufnehmer (7) ist dabei direkt an den Gewichten angebracht. Der Weg-Meßgeber (8) ist eine Anordnung parallel zur Führung (10) der Gewichte (11) verlaufend. Durch Bewegen des Aufnehmers relativ zum Geber werden durnh eine Rasterung bedingte elektrische Signale erzeugt, die Information über Strecke und Richtung enthalten.tactile contact or practically contactless. The displacement sensor (7) is attached directly to the weights. The displacement sensor (8) is an arrangement running parallel to the guide (10) of the weights (11). By moving the sensor relative to the sensor, electrical signals are generated by means of a grid that contain information about the distance and direction.

Ein bevorzugtes Anwendungsbeispiel wird anhand der Zeichnungen (Fig. 3 und 4) beschrieben:A preferred application example is described using the drawings (Fig. 3 and 4):

Die Bedienung am Gerät (14) erfolgt über nur 6 Tasten (15). Zur Ausgabe dient ein numerisches 3-stelliges 7-Segment LCD-Display (16). Das Steck-Modul (20) ist als nichtflüchtiger (non-volatile) RAM-Speicher verwirklicht und wird in einen Öffnungsschlitz ins Gerät gesteckt. Als Wegaufnehmer dient eine doppelte Reflexionslichtschranke (13), die berührungsfrei an einer Schwarz-Weiß-Rastermeßschiene entlanggeführt wird. Zur Verminderung von Fremdlichteinfall ist diese Meßschiene (12) als U-Profil aufgeführt. Die Justierung von Schiene und Lichtschranke erfolgt über Halterungen mit Langlochern.The device (14) is operated using just 6 buttons (15). A numerical 3-digit 7-segment LCD display (16) is used for output. The plug-in module (20) is implemented as a non-volatile RAM memory and is inserted into an opening slot in the device. A double reflection light barrier (13) serves as the displacement sensor, which is guided contact-free along a black and white grid measuring rail. To reduce the incidence of extraneous light, this measuring rail (12) is designed as a U-profile. The rail and light barrier are adjusted using brackets with elongated holes.

Die Schnittstellenverbindungen zum Zenfcralcomputer (18) und zum Wegaufnehmer (19) sind als Buchsen am Gehäuse herausgeführt. Über Leuchtdioden (17), die unmittelbar neben oder auf den Funktionswahltasten angebracht sind, wird die gerade ausgewählte Funktion angezeigt.The interface connections to the central computer (18) and to the position sensor (19) are provided as sockets on the housing. The currently selected function is displayed via LEDs (17) that are located directly next to or on the function selection keys.
