- the user uses the command input unit (12) to enter the program selection command to the control unit (13) in order to select a preset training program.
- the foregoing customized exercise parameters include an amplitude parameter, a time parameter, a frequency parameter and a posture parameter and are executed to activate the exercise machine (10).
- the exercise machine (10) can be operated with a certain amplitude and a certain frequency during a certain time and show the posture display image. Consequently, the step of setting customized exercise parameters (108) may further includes following steps: setting amplitude parameter (1081), setting time parameter (1082), setting frequency parameter (1083) and setting posture parameter (1084).
- step of generating the manual operating command (109) following step may be further executed: generating a warning signal (1091).
- the control unit (13) determines whether the user will feel uncomfortable while the exercise machine is operated based on the manual operating command. In other words, the control unit (13) determines whether the customized exercise parameters are within a specific permissible range.
- the permissible range is defined by the control unit (13) according to the personal physical parameters entered by the user. And if out of the range, the control unit (13) thus generates a warning signal before the exercise machine starts to be operated.
- the exercise machine is implemented as a vibration trainer (2).
- the vibration trainer (2) structurally comprises a platform (20), a neck (21), a control panel (22) and a handle set (23).
- the platform (20) has a top surface and an edge.
- the foregoing motive power generating unit (14) is mounted inside the platform (20) and is implemented as a motor set which brings vibrations to the top surface.
- the neck (21) upwardly extends from the edge of the platform (20) and has a top and two sides.
- the control panel (22) is mounted upon the top of the neck (21).
- the foregoing command input unit (12) and display unit (16) are both mounted on the control panel (22).
- the command input unit (12) is implemented as multiple buttons and the display unit (16) is a liquid crystal display module (LCM).
- LCD liquid crystal display module
- the handle set has two handles mounted and respectively extends from the sides of the neck (21).
- the user When using this vibration trainer, the user first presses the buttons of the control panel (22) to enter his/her personal information such as height, weight, age and gender. Then the user continues to select either the automatic operating mode or the manual operating mode. Under the automatic operating mode, the user further selects the exercise level (which relates to the value of amplitude of the vibration trainer (2) in this embodiment) and selects one of the preset training programs (which may include time parameter, frequency parameter and posture parameter). Under manual operating mode, the user enters customized exercise parameters which may include amplitude parameter, frequency parameter, time parameter and posture parameter as desired.
- the vibration trainer starts to work, and in the meantime the user may do exercise on the platform (20) and have his/her body like limbs, back or hip to lie or put on the platform (20). The user thus gets sports effect during the exercise with the vibration.
- the display unit (16) will give a warning signal visually to warn the user.
- the display unit (16) will start to show a dynamic image or static image that demonstrates one exercising posture.
- the display unit (16) may further display another image that indicates what kind of muscle groups the user may train.
- the user follows the foregoing image to do exercise on the vibration trainer (2). After a certain time, the display unit (16) shows a next image sequentially, and the user changes his/her movement to follow the next image until the operating time of the mode is end.
- each preset training program corresponds to a specific permissible range of personal physical parameters.
- the exercise machine will only be operated with a suitable training strength to make sure that the user can bear the whole training strength.
- the user selects the exercise level and then selects one of the preset training programs under the automatic operating mode.
- the exercise level relates to the value of amplitude of the vibration trainer (2) and the selected preset training program includes a time parameter, a frequency parameter and a posture parameter that respectively corresponds to a time, a frequency and a posture. If the time is 15 seconds, the frequency is 30 Hz and the posture is like the motions shown in Fig. 6 , the vibration trainer (2) will show the posture on the display unit (16) and perform a 30 Hz vibration for 15 seconds.
- the said 15 seconds and 30 Hz thus correspond to a specific permissible range of personal physical parameters such as 45 ⁇ 60 kilograms, 150 ⁇ 165 centimeters, 18 ⁇ 30 year-old and regardless of gender. If the entered personal physical parameters are out of the said permissible range, the vibration trainer (2) thus automatically adjust the operating time to 10 seconds or the vibration frequency to 25 Hz, or just reduce the vibration amplitude.
- the advantage of the exercise machine and the control method thereof is that the exercise machine can adjust its training strength base on the entered personal physical parameters. Even different users take the same training program, the training strength of the exercise machine will be different according to the personal physical parameters the users have set. Therefore users with different physical conditions will individually have the better sports effect.
