Abstract

In the case of a training arrangement (1) with at least one first exercising apparatus (2) and one second exercising apparatus (3), wherein the first exercising apparatus (2) is connected to a first computer (4) for controlling and/or recording a training program, and wherein the second exercising apparatus (3) is connected to a second computer (5) for controlling and/or recording a training program, and wherein the first exercising apparatus (2) is designed differently from the second exercising apparatus (3), it is proposed, for efficient and health-promoting physical training, that the first computer (2) and the second computer (3) are designed for the exchange of data, in particular control, training and/or personal data, and are preferably connected by a data line (5).

Description

The invention relates to a training arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.

There are known sports equipment, which are controlled by a computer, or which record training sequences, represent and / or evaluate the success of an exercise. It is also common, especially in so-called fitness centers, perform a plurality of exercises in time stringing, it being disadvantageous that the exercises are performed on different sports equipment regardless of the previously completed exercises and in a rating by the individual sports equipment no Consideration. This leads to inefficient training and can subsequently lead to an overstraining or to a training that is harmful to the body, whereby the test person's expected positive training effect of increased well-being can be reversed to the opposite.

The DE 197 10 955 A1 describes a system for programming training sequences on equipment and training machines, it being provided that a user of a sports hall to individual sports equipment by means of a so-called. "smart-keys" logs, then his training data are available at a respective subsequent sports equipment from the EP 1 068 882 A goes out another arrangement for the connection of exercise equipment.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a training arrangement of the aforementioned type, which makes it possible to train the body stability of a subject with respect to an axis on different sports equipment and to assess the overall performance.

This is achieved by the features of claim 1 according to the invention. As a result, when performing an exercise on a sports equipment, the already completed on other sports equipment exercises are automatically taken into account. As a result, for example, the settings, parameters and training programs selected by the sports equipment can be adapted to the performance already provided by a test person or to its daily form. Due to the possibility of data exchange between the individual sports equipment and the adaptation of the individual training procedures together, a much better overall training effect can be achieved than if exercises are carried out separately on each sports equipment- In addition, an overstrain of the subject can be prevented as a sports equipment, for example can recognize that one subject to another Sports equipment has performed a high performance, and indicate the subjects about by a warning to this condition, notify an employee of the fitness center or make an emergency shutdown.

As a result, the body stability can be trained around different axes, and a body stability index can be measured in each case. Due to the different training of successive sports equipment, the so-called. Body axis-appropriate training is preferably supported, therefore training the body stability by only one axis.

A variant of the invention may be that at least one biometric station with a fifth computer, in particular for detecting and / or recording biometric data of humans, preferably the mass or the weight, the body fat content, the blood sugar level and / or the pulse is provided , and that the fifth computer is provided for data exchange with the first, second, third and / or fourth computer. As a result, the physical condition of a subject in training can be taken into account and / or controlled.
