  Now, in the above, a training menu is dynamically generated for each user, that is, the training menu is updated while applying feedback, and the user is made to perform each exercise item. However, this system can also be used for contests. In this case, the menu for the contest is not only distributed from the center server 1 to the mobile phone 5 by e-mail but also uploaded to the WEB site or distributed on a paper medium such as a magazine or a newspaper. In this case, the menu for the contest is also converted into a character string according to a predetermined rule and distributed and distributed in the same manner as the training menu. The contest menu is registered in the control unit 13, that is, stored in the external memory 31 in the same process as the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of contest execution processing executed by the processor 29 of FIG. Referring to FIG. 8, in step S260, processor 29 executes a process for causing the user to implement each exercise item included in the acquired menu for the contest. The process in step S260 is the same as the process in FIG. In step S262, the processor 29 converts the ability value measured when the user performs each exercise item into a character string according to a predetermined rule (encoding). This conversion is to prevent user fraud. In step S264, the processor 29 displays the character string on the television monitor 15.

  The user transmits a character string representing the capability value displayed on the television monitor 15 to the center server 1 by e-mail using the mobile phone 5. The center server 1 stores the ability value from each user participating in the contest in the ability value database 65. The processing of the center server 1 in this case will be described using a flowchart.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of contest result aggregation processing executed by the center server 1 of FIG. This contest result totaling process is performed by the CPU 39 in FIG. 3 executing the contest totaling program 61.

  Referring to FIG. 9, in step S <b> 300, communication unit 45 of center server 1 receives a character string representing the ability value of each exercise item transmitted by the user via mobile phone 5. In step S302, the center server 1 reversely converts the received character string to restore the capability value (decode). In step S304, the center server 1 stores the capability value in the capability value database 65. In step S306, the center server 1 determines whether or not the contest period has expired. If it has not expired, the center server 1 returns to step S300, and if it has expired, the process proceeds to step S308.

  In step S308, the center server 1 determines the superiority or inferiority of the ability values of all users who participated in the contest, and determines the rank of each user. In step S310, the center server 1 raises the rank to the WEB site. Further, in step S312, the center server 1 transmits the rank to each user by electronic mail.

  Next, a modification of the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 10A is a diagram showing a configuration of a modified example of the exercise support system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10B is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the cartridge 19 according to the modification. As shown in FIG. 10A, the modification differs from the first embodiment in FIG. 1 in that the control unit 13 has a function of connecting to the network NW. That is, as shown in FIG. 10B, in the modification, the cartridge 19 of the control unit 13 is equipped with a communication unit 275 having a function of connecting to the network NW. Note that the communication unit 275 may be mounted on the adapter 17. Therefore, in this modification, the control unit 13 directly communicates with the center server 1 without using the mobile phone 5. Therefore, the training menu acquisition method is different.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a communication procedure in the modification. Referring to FIG. 11, in step 121, the user operates mat 21 and inputs user information to control unit 13. In step 21, control unit 13 of training system 9 receives the input user. Information is transmitted to the center server 1. In step 151, the center server 1 stores the received user information in the user database 63.

  In step 153-1, the center server 1 transmits an instruction of the exercise item A to be performed by the user in the training system 9 to the control unit 13. In step 23-1, the control unit 13 displays an image for causing the user to execute the designated exercise item A on the television monitor 15. In step 123-1, the user steps on the mat 21 according to the video displayed on the television monitor 15 and performs the exercise item A. The control unit 13 stores the capability value of the user obtained by the execution.

  The user, the control unit 13, and the center server 1 repeat Step 123-1, Step 23-1, and 153-1 k (k is an integer of 1 or more) times while changing the exercise item. In the figure, k = 4. Therefore, the user performs the exercise items A to D, and the ability value obtained in each exercise item is transferred from the control unit 13 to the center server 1 in step 25. Sent.

  Then, in step 155, the center server 1 stores the received capability value of the user in the capability value database 65. In step 157, the center server 1 creates a training menu for the user based on the ability value of the user obtained by performing the exercise items A to D. In step 159, the center server 1 transmits the created training menu to the control unit 13.

  In step 27, the control unit 13 displays the received training menu on the television monitor 15 and stores it in the external memory 31. In step 125-1, the user uses the training system 9 to execute each exercise item included in the registered training menu. Since the center server 1 instructs to continue this training menu for 7 days, the user attempts to continue this training menu for 7 days (steps 125-1 to 125-7).

  When the user performs the exercise item, the control unit 13 displays an image for causing the user to execute the exercise item on the television monitor 15 in step 29-1, and in step 31-1, the user's exercise item is displayed. The capability value obtained as a result of the implementation is transmitted to the center server 1. In step 161-1, the center server 1 stores the received capability value in the capability value database 65. In step S163-1, the center server 1 creates a comment based on the received capability value, and transmits it to the control unit 13 in step 165-1. In step 33-1, the control unit 13 displays the received comment on the television monitor 15.

  The control unit 13 executes steps 29-1, 31-1, 33-1 to 29-7, 31-7, and 33-7 together with the implementation of the user. The center server 1 also executes steps 161-1, 163-1, 165-1 to 161-7, 163-7, and 165-7 together with the implementation of the user.

  In step 167, the center server 1 updates, that is, reconstructs the training menu based on the ability values stored in steps 161-1 to 161-7. In step 169, the center server 1 transmits the updated training menu to the control unit 13, and waits to execute step 161-1. The control unit 13 displays the content of the received training menu on the television monitor 15, stores it in the external memory 31, and waits for executing step 29-1. In step 125-1, the user executes the updated training menu.

  As described above, the user, the control unit 13, and the center server 1 have steps 125-1 to 125-7, steps 29-1, 31-1, 33-1 to 29-7, 31-7, 33, respectively. -7, 35 and steps 161-1, 163-1, 165-1 to 161-7, 163-7, 165-7, 167, 169 are repeatedly executed. Thereby, the training menu suitable for the user's condition can always be provided.

  Next, 14 exercise items that can be included in the training menu will be described. In addition, the measurement result in the following exercise item is the ability value of the user in the exercise item, which is given to the center server 1.

  [Exercise section 1: Flight time measurement mode]

  FIG. 12 is an exemplary diagram of a measurement start screen in the flight time measurement mode according to the first embodiment. FIG. 13 is a view showing an example of a during-measurement screen in the flight time measurement mode according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, the processor 29 displays a measurement start screen on the television monitor 15. The measurement start screen includes a mat object 200 simulating the mat 21. The mat object 200 includes areas A1, A2, A3, and A4 corresponding to the step areas ST1, ST2, ST3, and ST4 of the mat 21, respectively. The processor 29 first sets the areas A2 and A3 of the mat object 200 corresponding to the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 to the first predetermined color (upward diagonal lines) in order to clarify the step areas ST2 and ST3 on which the user should ride. Part), for example, yellow.

  In addition, when the stepping area of the mat 21 is stepped on by the user and the corresponding foot switch is turned on, the processor 29 sets the corresponding area of the mat object 200 to the second predetermined color (the hatched portion with a lower right side in FIG. 12). Is not shown, but see FIG. 14, FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, FIG. 21 to FIG. 25, and FIG. Therefore, when the user steps on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 according to the instructions on the screen and the corresponding foot switches SW2 and SW3 are turned on, the processor 29 sets the corresponding areas A2 and A3 of the mat object 200 to the first. 2 to a predetermined color.

  When the user jumps on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21, the foot switches SW2 and SW3 transition from on to off. The processor 29 starts timing from the time when both the foot switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off. From this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the processor 29 displays in real time the elapsed time that changes from moment to moment on the time display section 70 of the measuring screen. Then, the processor 29 ends timing when at least one of the foot switches SW2 and SW3 is turned on. Accordingly, the time display unit 70 displays the time from when both the foot switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off to when at least one of them is turned on, that is, the user's flight time.

  As described above, the processor 29 measures the user's flight time. The flight time measured in this way is a guideline for determining a user's instantaneous power (ability to exert force suddenly). Further, the measured flight time is also a guide for determining the user's leg strength and concentration.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as instantaneous power, leg power, and concentration. In other words, in addition to improving the muscle strength of the lower limbs, it can be expected to improve the integration ability of the whole body and develop the concentration. Thus, this mat system not only measures these capabilities, but can contribute to its improvement.

  [Exercise section 2: Flight rate measurement mode]

  FIG. 14 is a view showing an example of a during-measurement screen in the flight rate measurement mode according to the first embodiment. FIG. 15 is an exemplary view of a measurement result screen in the flight rate measurement mode according to the first embodiment.

  First, the processor 29 displays the same measurement start screen as in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode) on the television monitor 15. Then, when the user jumps on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 and both the foot switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off, the processor 29 displays the screen during measurement in FIG. To do. The user performs a predetermined number of jumps on the step areas ST2 and ST3. In the present embodiment, this predetermined number is 10 times. However, since the first jump is not measured, the user performs a total of 11 jumps.

  The processor 29 sets the time from the time when both of the foot switches SW2 and SW3 are turned off to the time when at least one of them is turned on as the stagnant time. This is the same as the flight time measurement mode. On the other hand, the processor 29 uses the time from when at least one of the foot switches SW2 and SW3 is turned on until when both are turned off as the grounding time. It is assumed that the grounding state and the subsequent hovering state are one jump. Accordingly, the processor 29 starts measuring the contact time and the dwell time from the end time of the hovering state by the first jump (jump that is not measured), that is, from the start time of the second jump (first jump that is measured). To do. The end time of the stagnant state is a time point when at least one of the foot switches SW2 and SW3 is turned on from the off state.

  The processor 29 displays, in real time (for example, red), a bar 76 (indicated by a red line) having a length corresponding to the measured grounding time on the axis 80 of the grounding / grounding time display unit 72, and also displays the measured skying. A bar 74 having a length corresponding to the time (a shaded portion rising to the right) is displayed in real time (for example, blue). The second scale on axis 80 represents one jump. One scale is grounded, and the next scale is stagnant. The bar 76 extends downward with respect to the shaft 80, and the bar 74 extends upward with respect to the shaft 80. Further, the processor 29 displays a cursor 78 (black portion) on the axis 80 to indicate the current user state. In the example in the figure, the sixth jump, that is, the fifth measurement target jump is completed.

  When the processor 29 detects the end of 10 jumps to be measured, that is, when it detects that at least one of the foot switches SW2 and SW3 is turned on 10 times from the off state, as shown in FIG. In addition, the average hovering time and the average grounding time are displayed on the hovering / contacting average time display unit 82 of the measurement result screen, and the hovering rate is displayed on the hovering rate display unit 84. The average flight time calculated by the processor 29 is an average value of 10 measured flight times. The average contact time calculated by the processor 29 is an average value of 10 measured contact times. Airborne rate = average airborne time / (average airborne time + average contact time). “/” Means division.

  As described above, the processor 29 measures the flying rate of the user. The airborne ratio measured in this way is a criterion for determining the reaction muscle strength of the user, that is, the force for efficiently pulling out the muscle or tendon spring in a short contact time. In addition, the measured flight rate is also a standard for determining reflexes, leg strength, rhythmic sense, and concentration.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as reactive muscle strength, reflexes, leg strength, rhythmic feeling, and concentration. In other words, it can be expected to improve muscle responsiveness, increase instantaneous power, and at the same time improve exercise control ability, improve continuous exercise ability, and develop stable concentration in daily life. Thus, this mat system not only measures these capabilities, but can contribute to its improvement.

  [Exercise section 3: Agility measurement mode]

  In this mode, the user places the chair in front of the center of the mat 21. Then, the user sits shallowly with his hand down. On the other hand, the processor 29 displays the same measurement start screen as in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode) on the television monitor 15. Then, the user steps on a predetermined number of steps (50 steps in the present embodiment) on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 while sitting down. Then, the foot switches SW2 and SW3 are alternately turned on / off alternately.

  The processor 29 takes one foot switch as a step from the OFF state to the ON state. However, when the foot switch SW2 transitions from off to on and determines that it is one step, the processor 29 determines that it is the next step when the foot switch SW3 transitions from off to on. On the contrary, when the foot switch SW3 transitions from OFF to ON and determines that it is one step, the processor 29 determines that it is the next step when the foot switch SW2 transitions from OFF to ON. That is, even if the transition from off to on occurs continuously with the same foot switch, only the first transition from off to on is determined to be one step.

  FIG. 16 is a view for showing an example of a during-measurement screen in the agility measurement mode according to the first embodiment. When the user starts to step on the step areas ST2 and ST3 while sitting down, the processor 29 displays the measuring screen in FIG. This in-measurement screen includes a remaining step number display unit 86 and an elapsed time display unit 88. The processor 29 displays the remaining number of steps to be performed by the user, that is, (50−current number of steps) in real time on the remaining number of steps display unit 86. The processor 29 starts timing from the time when the first step is detected, and displays the elapsed time on the elapsed time display unit 88. Then, the processor 29 ends timing when the 50th step is completed. As a result, finally, the elapsed time display unit 88 displays the time required for the user to take 50 steps.

  As described above, the processor 29 measures the time taken by the user for 50 steps. Since the user tries to step on as fast as possible, the time measured in this way is a guideline for determining the user's agility (ability to move quickly), in particular. In addition, the measured time is a guideline for determining the instantaneous force and reflexes.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as agility, instantaneous power, and reflexes. In other words, the agility and coordination of both feet are nurtured, the reflexes are nurtured, and at the same time, the improvement of daily concentration can be expected. Thus, this mat system not only measures these capabilities, but can contribute to its improvement.

  [Exercise section 4: Rhythm measurement mode]

  FIG. 17 is an exemplary diagram of a rhythm guide screen in the rhythmic sense measurement mode according to the first embodiment. FIG. 18 is a view for showing an example of a during-measurement screen in the rhythmic sense measurement mode according to Embodiment 1. FIG. 19 is an exemplary diagram of a measurement result screen in the rhythmic sense measurement mode according to the first embodiment.

  First, the processor 29 displays the same measurement start screen as in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode) on the television monitor 15. Then, the user gets on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21. The processor 29 displays a start signal and then displays a rhythm guide screen as shown in FIG. That is, the processor 29 displays the guide object 90 alternately above the area A2 of the mat object 200 and directly above the area A3 at a predetermined time interval Tg. In addition, the processor 29 outputs a predetermined sound (guide sound) simultaneously with the display of the guide object 90. That is, the processor 29 outputs a guide sound at a predetermined time interval Tg like a metronome. The user grasps the stepping rhythm (tempo) to be performed while stepping according to the alternately displayed guide object 90 and the guide sound. Further, the processor 29 displays an elapsed time gauge 105 that indicates the elapsed time from the start of display of the guide object 90 by a color change (shaded portion). The total length of the elapsed time gauge 105 indicates a period during which the guide object 90 guides.

  When the total number of display times of the left and right guide objects 90 reaches a predetermined number, the processor 29 ends the display of the guide object 90 and ends the output of the guide sound, and displays the in-measurement screen of FIG. On this measuring screen, the guide object 90 is not displayed and no guide sound is output. Therefore, under such a state, the user continues to step on the rhythm (tempo) grasped on the rhythm guide screen. In the present embodiment, after the display of the guide object 90 is completed, the user is allowed to step 20 steps. The determination of one step is the same as in the agility measurement mode. The processor 29 displays the remaining number of steps to be performed by the user, that is, (20−current number of steps) in real time on the remaining number of steps display unit 92.

  While the during-measurement screen is displayed, the processor 29 executes a process of determining whether or not the user is stepping at the predetermined time interval Tg indicated by the guide object 90 and the guide sound. Specifically, it is as follows.

  The processor 29 measures time (hereinafter referred to as “step interval”) Ts from detection of one step to detection of the next step. That is, the processor 29 measures the step interval Ts that is the time from when one of the foot switches SW2 and SW3 is detected to be turned on to when the other is detected to be turned on. To do. The processor 29 starts measurement after detecting the first step after the display of the last guide object 90 is completed. That is, the first step is the 0th step, the next step is the first step, and the time between them is the step interval Ts of the first step.

  The processor 29 performs measurement processing of the step interval Ts every time one step is detected, stores the result in the internal memory, and acquires data for 20 steps. Then, the processor 29 calculates the difference D = Tg−Ts. That is, the processor 29 calculates how much each step interval Ts is deviated from the predetermined time interval Tg indicated on the rhythm guide screen. Then, the processor 29 displays the result on the television monitor 15 as shown in FIG. Specifically, the processor 29 displays the difference D as bars 98 and 100 on the axis 95 of the difference display unit 96 of the measurement result screen. That is, when the difference D is positive, the processor 29 displays in real time (for example, red) a bar 98 (upward slanted line portion) extending upward from the axis 95 and having a length corresponding to the absolute value of the difference D. When the difference D is negative, the bar 100 (lower right oblique line portion) extending downward from the axis 95 and having a length corresponding to the absolute value of the difference D is displayed in real time (for example, blue). When the difference D is 0, these bars 98 and 100 are not displayed. One scale on the axis 95 represents one step.

  Further, the processor 29 displays the rhythmic feeling numerically on the rhythmic feeling display unit 94. This numerical value is calculated based on the sum of absolute values of all differences D. For example, the fixed time x is 1 point, and when it exceeds 5 points, it is clipped to 5 points. Then, the total absolute value of the difference D is represented by this number of points, which is subtracted from 100. The result is a numerical value indicating a sense of rhythm. That is, 100 points when the difference D is 0 in all 20 steps, and 0 points when the difference D is 5 points in all 20 steps. In this case, the lengths of the bars 98 and 100 are preferably displayed with a length corresponding to the number of points.

  As described above, the processor 29 measures the user step interval Ts and calculates the difference D. The magnitude of the difference D becomes an index indicating whether or not the user has been able to step on the instructed rhythm (that is, the predetermined time interval Tg). Therefore, the difference D and a numerical value based on the difference D are a guideline for determining the user's sense of rhythm (sensation for continuing regular exercise: isochronism). Further, the difference D and a numerical value based on the difference D also serve as a guideline for determining the skill, the memory, and the concentration.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as a sense of rhythm, sophistication, memory, and concentration. In other words, the balance between left and right and the sense of rhythm are nurtured, and at the same time, the sense of position and the ability to control motors are improved, and stabilization of nerve functions can be expected. Thus, this mat system not only measures these capabilities, but can contribute to its improvement.

  [Exercise section 5: Internal clock measurement mode]

  FIG. 20 is a view showing an example of a start screen in the biological clock measurement mode according to the first embodiment. First, the processor 29 displays the start screen of FIG. 20 on the television monitor 15. This start screen includes a character string “Please jump after counting 15 seconds”. Further, the processor 29 sets the areas A2 and A3 of the mat object 200 corresponding to the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 to a first predetermined color (upward diagonal lines) in order to clarify the step areas ST2 and ST3 on which the user should ride. Part).

  When the user gets on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21, that is, when the foot switches SW2 and SW3 are turned on, although not shown, the processor 29 performs "3", "2", "1", " “Start” and a countdown are displayed on the television monitor 15. The user jumps when he / she thinks that 15 seconds have passed since his / her character string “start” is displayed. In this case, the processor 29 starts measuring time when the character string “start” is displayed. Then, the processor 29 finishes timing when all of the foot switches SW1 to SW4 are turned off.

  The time measured by the processor 29 is 15 seconds based on the user's body clock, and the user's body clock (mechanism that keeps time in the human body) is obtained by obtaining the difference between the time measurement result and 15. Can be determined. Further, this difference is a guideline for determining user functions such as rhythm, judgment, and concentration. The difference may be divided by 15 seconds to obtain the error ratio, which can be used as a criterion for judgment.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as a body clock, a sense of rhythm, judgment, and concentration. In other words, it can be expected to develop a sense of a certain time.

  [Exercise section 6: Body reflection measurement mode]

  In this mode, the user places the chair in front of the center of the mat 21. Then, the user sits shallowly with his hand down. On the other hand, the processor 29 displays the same measurement start screen as in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode) on the television monitor 15. When the user presses the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 to turn on the foot switches SW2 and SW3, the processor 29 displays a start signal and then displays a measuring screen. The user turns on the foot switches SW2 and SW3, and then lowers both feet from the mat 21 and waits.

  FIG. 21 is a view for showing an example of a during-measurement screen in the body reflectivity measurement mode according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 21, the processor 29 displays the step position indication object 113 immediately above any one of the areas A1, A2, A3, and A4. The user tries to step on the step areas (ST1 to ST4) corresponding to the areas (A1 to A4) immediately below the step position indication object 113 as quickly as possible. In this case, the processor 29 starts timing from the time when the step position indication object 113 is displayed, and the foot switches (SW1 to SW4) corresponding to the areas (A1 to A4) immediately below the displayed step position indication object 113 are turned off. Stops timing when a transition from to is detected. The time (unit reaction time) from the time point when the step position indicating object 113 is displayed to the time point when the corresponding foot switch is turned off to on is detected how fast the user can display the step position indicating object 113. It becomes a standard of whether it was able to react.

  When detecting the transition of the corresponding foot switch from OFF to ON, the processor 29 deletes the step position indication object 113 and replaces the new step position indication object 113 with any one of the areas A1, A2, A3, and A4. Is displayed immediately above, starts counting again, and detects the transition from OFF to ON of the foot switch (SW1 to SW4) corresponding to the area (A1 to A4) immediately below the displayed step position indicating object 113 Then stop timing.

  The processor 29 repeats such processing until 20 tread position indication objects 113 are displayed. That is, the processor 29 ends the time measurement when the 20th step position indication object 113 is displayed and the transition from the OFF to the ON of the corresponding foot switch is detected.

  The processor 29 displays the remaining number of steps to be performed by the user, that is, (20−the current number of steps) in real time on the remaining number of steps display unit 109 and displays the time measurement result on the elapsed time display unit 111 in real time. Therefore, the final time measurement result displayed on the elapsed time display unit 111 is a cumulative result of unit reaction time. This final timing result is a guideline for knowing how quickly the user has responded to the appearance of the step position indicating object 113, that is, the degree of reflexes of the user. The shorter the final timing result, the faster the user can react. In addition, this final timing result also serves as a guideline for determining the user's agility, judgment, and concentration.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as reflexes, agility, judgment, and concentration. In other words, judgment and responsiveness are nurtured, and at the same time, improvement of reflexes in the lower limbs can be expected. The improvement of these functions can be expected to be useful for nerve reflexes such as daily redirection.

  [Exercise section 7: Body reaction force measurement mode]

  FIG. 22 is a view for showing an example of a during-measurement screen in the body reaction force measurement mode according to the first embodiment. First, the processor 29 displays the same measurement start screen as in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode) on the television monitor 15. Then, when the user gets on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 and turns on the foot switches SW2 and SW3, the processor 29 displays a start signal, and then displays the measuring screen in FIG. That is, the processor 29 displays the two guide objects 119 immediately above any two of the areas A1, A2, A3, and A4 of the mat object 200 on the measuring screen. The processor 29 starts counting down from 20 seconds simultaneously with the display of the first two guide objects 119 and displays the result on the remaining time display unit 115 in real time. It should be noted that the user performs a stepping action by jumping while remaining on the mat 21.

  The user tries to jump and step on the step areas (ST1 to ST4) corresponding to the areas (A1 to A4) immediately below the two guide objects 119 as quickly as possible. Then, when the processor 29 detects the transition from OFF to ON of the foot switches (SW1 to SW4) corresponding to the regions (A1 to A4) immediately below the two guide objects 119, the processor 29 displays the two guide objects 119. In addition to deleting, one point is added and the number of points is displayed on the point display unit 117. Immediately, the processor 29 newly displays two guide objects 119 immediately above any two of the areas A1, A2, A3, and A4, waits for the user to step in, and the remaining time is “0”. The above process is repeated until.

  The number of points on the point display unit 117 is the number of times the user has reacted for 20 seconds, and increases as the time from when the two guide objects 119 are displayed until the user steps on the corresponding stepping area (ST1 to ST4) is increased. . Therefore, the number of points serves as a guideline for knowing how fast the user can respond to the two guide objects 119, that is, the degree of reflexes of the user. The number of points also serves as a guide for determining the instantaneous power, leg power, and judgment power.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as reflexes, instantaneous power, leg power, and judgment power. In other words, it can be expected to improve the ability to convey the judgment to the exercise at the same time as the judgment ability that has been seen with the eyes, and the ability to move the muscle by the instruction from the given brain. These abilities seem to help prevent tripping during exercise, for example.

  [Exercise section 8: Body following force measurement mode]

  FIG. 23 is a view for showing an example of a during-measurement screen in the body following force measurement mode according to the first embodiment. First, the processor 29 displays the same measurement start screen as in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode) on the television monitor 15. Then, when the user gets on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 and turns on the foot switches SW2 and SW3, the processor 29 displays a start signal and / or outputs a start sound, Displays the screen during measurement. That is, the processor 29 starts from the guide objects 135L and 135R displayed immediately above the areas A2 and A3, and sets the guide object 135R directly above the area A4 → the guide object 135L directly above the area A1 → the guide object 135R within the area A3. The guide objects 135L and 135R are moved cyclically in the order of immediately above → the guide object 135L immediately above the area A2. In this case, the processor 29 increments the movement counter MC by 1 each time the guide objects 135L and 135R move. Note that the user performs a stepping action while riding on the mat 21.

  Here, from the start point, the guide object 135R is moved right above the area A4, then the guide object 135L is moved right above the area A1, and then the guide object 135R is moved right above the area A3. Furthermore, one cycle is a period until the guide object 135L is moved immediately above the area A2. Then, the processor 29 increases the moving speed of the guide objects 135L and 135R in units of two cycles. That is, the level of the step speed display unit 131 is increased by one level. In this embodiment, up to 25 levels are prepared.

  The user tries to step on the step areas (ST1 to ST4) corresponding to the areas (A1 to A4) immediately below the guide objects 135L and 135R in accordance with the movement of the guide objects 135L and 135R. As described above, since the moving speed of the guide objects 135L and 135R increases stepwise in units of two cycles, it is gradually difficult for the user to perform a stepping operation in accordance with the movement of the guide objects 135L and 135R.

  The processor 29 increments the step counter SC by 1 each time a transition from OFF to ON of the foot switches SW1 to SW4 is detected, and displays the result on the step count display unit 133. However, the counter SC is incremented only when the foot switches SW1 to SW4 transition from OFF to ON in the order indicated by the guide objects 135L and 135R. Then, the processor 29 obtains the absolute value of the difference between the value of the movement counter MC and the value of the step counter SC, and ends the measurement when the absolute value of the difference becomes 3 or more.

  The level of the step speed display unit 131 at the end of measurement and the number of steps of the step number display unit 133 at the end of measurement indicate how much the user can follow the movement of the guide objects 135L and 135R. This is a guideline for knowing the ability to manipulate your body at will. As the level of the step speed display unit 131 at the end of the measurement and the number of steps are increased, it means that the guide objects 135L and 135R can be followed quickly. Further, the level of the step speed display unit 131 and the number of steps at the end of the measurement also serve as a guide for determining leg strength, rhythmic sense, and judgment power.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as ingenuity, leg strength, rhythmic sense, and judgment. In other words, reflex nerve persistence and persistent judgment can be expected.

  [Exercise item 9: First judgment measurement mode]

  In this mode, first, the processor 29 displays on the television monitor 15 the same measurement start screen as in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode). When the user presses the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 to turn on the foot switches SW2 and SW3, the processor 29 displays a start signal and then displays a measurement screen. The user turns on the foot switches SW2 and SW3, and then lowers both feet from the mat 21 and waits.

  FIG. 24 is an exemplary diagram of a measurement screen in the first judgment measurement mode according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 24, the processor 29 places the graphic display units 121-1, 121-2, 121-3, and 121-4 directly above the areas A1, A2, A3, and A4 of the mat object 200 on the measurement screen. Display (question). Different graphic images are displayed on the graphic display units 121-1, 121-2, 121-3, and 121-4, respectively. However, one of the four drawings is different in type from the other three. In the illustrated example, insects are displayed on the graphic display units 121-1, 121-2, and 121-3, and birds are displayed on the graphic display unit 121-4. In the present embodiment, three problem groups are prepared. Further, the processor 29 displays an elapsed time gauge 105 that indicates the elapsed time by a color change (shaded portion). The total length of the elapsed time gauge 105 represents the time (20 seconds in the present embodiment) given to the user to answer one question group.

  The user depresses the step areas (ST1 to ST4) corresponding to the areas (A1 to A4) located immediately below the drawing display sections (121-1 to 121-4) on which the drawings of different types are displayed, and the corresponding foot When the switches (SW1 to SW4) are turned on, it is determined that the answer is correct and one point is added. When the user turns on a foot switch that does not correspond, it is determined that the answer is incorrect and one point is subtracted. The user tries to give as many correct answers as possible before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed. The point for 20 seconds is a guideline for judging the judgment power of the user. The more points, the higher the judgment. This point also serves as a standard for determining reflexes.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as judgment and reflexes. In other words, it can be expected that the cognitive ability in daily life will be nurtured, and it will be useful for improving brain flexibility and preventing dementia.

  [Exercise item 10: Second judgment measurement mode]

  In this mode, first, the same measurement start screen as that in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode) is displayed on the television monitor 15. The start screen includes a character string “Please select a large number”. Further, the processor 29 sets the areas A2 and A3 of the mat object 200 corresponding to the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 to the first predetermined color (upward diagonal lines) in order to clarify the step areas ST2 and ST3 on which the user should ride. Part). When the user gets on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21, that is, when the foot switches SW2 and SW3 are turned on, the processor 29 displays a measurement signal after displaying a start signal. Note that the user performs a stepping action while riding on the mat 21.

  FIG. 25 is a view for showing an example of a measurement screen in the second judgment measurement mode according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 25, the processor 29 displays the number display parts 123L and 123R directly above the areas A2 and A3, respectively. Different numbers are displayed on the number display parts 123L and 123R (question). The user raises his / her foot from the step area (ST2, ST3) corresponding to the area (A2, A3) immediately below the number display portion (123L, 123R) where a large number is written, and the corresponding foot switch (SW2, SW2). SW3) is turned off from on. In this case, the user has to answer correctly before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed. In the present embodiment, the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed in 1 second.

  When the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed, the processor 29 restores the color of the elapsed time gauge 105 and displays new numbers different from each other on the number display parts 123L and 123R. On the other hand, the user answers in the same manner as described above before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed.

  When the questions are finished ten times, the processor 29 displays a start screen including a character string “Please select a small number”. Then, the processor 29 displays a start signal, and then displays a measurement screen similar to that in FIG. The user raises his / her foot from the step area (ST2, ST3) corresponding to the area (A2, A3) immediately below the number display part (123L, 123R) where small numbers are written, and the corresponding foot switch (SW2, SW2). SW3) is turned off from on. In this case, the user has to answer correctly before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed.

  When the questions are finished ten times, the processor 29 displays a start screen including a character string “Please select a large number”. Then, the processor 29 displays a start signal, and then displays a measurement screen similar to that in FIG. On the other hand, the user answers in the same manner as described above before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed.

  The processor 29 alternately repeats the selection of large numbers and the selection of small numbers in units of 10 questions as described above, and ends when the total number of questions is 100 questions. However, if the user gives an incorrect answer, the measurement ends at that time. The processor 29 displays the number of correct answers out of 100 questions. The number of correct answers is a standard for determining the judgment power of the user. The more correct answers, the higher the judgment. In addition, the number of correct answers also serves as a standard for determining reflexes.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as judgment and reflexes. In other words, it is expected that the judgment and simple cognitive ability are cultivated, and by using a certain simple reflex nerve continuously, the nerve is stabilized and a relaxed feeling can be obtained. This seems to be useful for keeping calm on a daily basis.

  [Exercise section 11: Third judgment measurement mode]

  In this mode, first, the same measurement start screen as that in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode) is displayed on the television monitor 15. This start screen includes a character string “jump if left and right are the same”. Further, the processor 29 sets the areas A2 and A3 of the mat object 200 corresponding to the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 to the first predetermined color (upward diagonal lines) in order to clarify the step areas ST2 and ST3 on which the user should ride. Part). When the user gets on the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21, that is, when the foot switches SW2 and SW3 are turned on, the processor 29 displays a measurement signal after displaying a start signal. Note that the user performs a stepping action while riding on the mat 21.

  FIG. 26 is a view for showing an example of a measurement screen in the third judgment measurement mode according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 26, the processor 29 displays the left object 125L and the right object 125R immediately above the areas A2 and A3 (question). The left object 125L and the right object 125R include drawings showing numerical values. When the numerical values indicated by the left object 125L and the right object 125R are equal to each other, the user jumps and turns the corresponding foot switch (SW2, SW3) from on to off. In this case, the user has to answer correctly before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed.

  When the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed, the processor 29 restores the color of the elapsed time gauge 105 and displays a new left object 125L and right object 125R. On the other hand, the user answers in the same manner as described above before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed.

  When the questions are finished ten times, the processor 29 displays a start screen including a character string “jump if left and right are different”. Then, the processor 29 displays a start signal, and then displays a measurement screen similar to FIG. When the numerical values indicated by the left object 125L and the right object 125R are different from each other, the user jumps and turns the corresponding foot switch (SW2, SW3) from on to off. In this case, the user has to answer correctly before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed.

  The processor 29 alternately repeats the answer method for jumping left-right and the answer method for jumping left-right mismatch as described above, and finishes when there are 30 questions in total. The processor 29 shortens the time when the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed, that is, the answer time given to the user every time one question is finished. In the present embodiment, the answering time is shortened by a predetermined percentage starting from 3 seconds for the first question and continuing until 0.5 seconds for the 30th question. Finally, the processor 29 displays the number of correct answers out of 30 (correct answer rate). The correct answer rate is a standard for determining the judgment power and suppression power of the user. The higher the correct answer rate, the higher the judgment power and the suppression power. The correct answer rate also serves as a guideline for determining instantaneous power, reflexes, and agility.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as suppression, judgment, instantaneous power, reflexes, and agility. That is, it can be expected that the judgment power and the restraining power at the time of exercise are cultivated, and the flexibility of judgment power, the instruction processing ability, and the situation judgment ability for the exercise performed are cultivated. In addition, it seems that it can improve advanced motor nerve function in daily life.

  [Exercise section 12: Memory measurement mode]

  In this mode, first, the processor 29 displays on the television monitor 15 the same measurement start screen as in FIG. 12 (display character strings such as titles are adapted to this mode). When the user presses the step areas ST2 and ST3 of the mat 21 to turn on the foot switches SW2 and SW3, the processor 29 displays a start signal and then displays a problem screen. The user turns on the foot switches SW2 and SW3, and then lowers both feet from the mat 21 and waits.

  FIG. 27 is a view showing an example of a problem screen in the memory measurement mode according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 27, the processor 29 displays N (N is an integer of 3 or more) guide objects 127 above the mat object 200 on the problem screen. Then, the guide object 127 is changed to a predetermined color in order from the left in the figure and at a constant time interval Tg. Whenever the guide object 127 changes to a predetermined color, the processor 29 displays the cursor 129 on any of the areas A1 to A4 and immediately disappears.

  The user tries to store in what order the cursor 129 is displayed on the areas A1 to A4. Then, the user steps on the step areas (A1 to A4) corresponding to the areas (A1 to A4) in the stored order while viewing the answer screen displayed next. The processor 29 displays and disappears the cursor 129 for the same number N as the number N of the guide objects 127. For this reason, the user can grasp in advance from what number to what number the order to be stored exists, based on the number N of the displayed guide objects 127.

  FIG. 28 is an illustration of an answer screen in the memory measurement mode according to the first embodiment. After the question screen shown in FIG. 27 is completed, the processor 29 displays a start signal and then displays the answer screen shown in FIG. The processor 29 displays an elapsed time gauge 105 that indicates the elapsed time by a color change (shaded portion). The total length of the elapsed time gauge 105 represents the answer time given to the user. When the user steps on the stepping areas (A1 to A4) in the order indicated by the cursor 129 before the color change of the elapsed time gauge 105 is completed, the clearing is achieved. If the step areas (A1 to A4) are stepped in in an order different from the order indicated by the cursor 129, the processor 29 determines that the failure has occurred at that time. Further, the same number N of guide objects 127 as the guide objects 127 on the question screen are displayed on the answer screen, and similarly, the answer screen changes to a predetermined color. It should be noted that the time corresponding to the total length of the elapsed time gauge 105 is 0.5 seconds after the guide object at the left end in the figure changes to a predetermined color and after the guide object at the right end in the figure changes to a predetermined color. It corresponds to time.

  Here, the number N of the guide objects 127 on the question screen and the answer screen starts from 3, and the number N increases by one each time the user clears the question (N ← N + 1). That is, the number of objects to be stored increases and the difficulty level increases. When the number N increases by one, the color change time interval Tg of the guide object 127 is also shortened.

  The number N of the guide objects 127 on the problem screen that is finally cleared is a measure of the user's memory ability. The larger the number N of guide objects 127 on the problem screen that is finally cleared, the better the user's memory. The final number N also serves as a guide for determining the user's concentration.

  By repeatedly performing such measurement, the user can expect improvements in functions such as memory and concentration. In other words, it can be expected that the short-term memory and responsiveness are cultivated, and at the same time, the sustainability and concentration of judgment are cultivated. This can be expected to prevent forgetfulness and develop physical exercise responses.

  [Exercise section 13: Instantaneous force measurement mode]

  In this mode, the number of steps performed by the user within a certain time is measured. Specifically, it is as follows. The user stands by on the mat 21. The processor 29 displays an image for instructing the user to start the stepping operation on the television monitor 15. The user tries to step as many times as possible at the same time as the instruction. The processor 29 counts the number of stepping actions of the user within a certain period (for example, 10 seconds) after the start instruction video is displayed. Then, the processor 29 displays the counting result on the television monitor 15. Therefore, the user can know his / her instantaneous power and leg strength by using the number of stepping actions within a certain time as an index. The user can improve the instantaneous power and leg power by repeating such measurement.

  [Exercise section 14: Reaction speed measurement mode]

  In this mode, the player's reaction time is measured. Specifically, it is as follows. The user stands by on the mat 21. The processor 29 displays an image for instructing the user to start the operation on the television monitor 15. The user jumps simultaneously with the instruction. The processor 29 measures the time until the foot switches SW1 to SW4 are all turned off after the video instructing the operation start, that is, the reaction time. Then, the processor 29 displays the measurement result on the television monitor 15. Therefore, the user can know his / her reflexes using as an index the time from the instruction to start the operation until there is no input (that is, the time from the instruction to start the operation until the user's feet are separated from the mat 21). In addition, you can know the degree of your motor function such as instantaneous power, agility, and concentration. The user can improve these motor functions by repeating such measurement.

  As described above, in the present embodiment and the modified example, a training menu is newly constructed by feeding back the ability value of the user, that is, the training menu is dynamically updated according to the user's state. Therefore, an appropriate exercise menu can be provided for each user. In addition, it is difficult for the user to get bored.

  Here, the ability value is a value representing the motor function of the body such as instantaneous power, reflexes, ingenuity, agility, leg strength, and rhythm, as well as brain functions such as memory, judgment, and concentration. This is a concept including a value representing.

  Further, the training menu includes a plurality of types of exercise items, and each exercise item can be implemented by one training system 9. Therefore, it is possible to allow the user to implement a plurality of types of exercises while improving user convenience, and to support the user's continued exercise. Furthermore, since the user does not need to create a training menu by himself, the convenience of the user can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment and modification, the user can register the training menu in the control unit 13 simply by inputting the character string received by the mobile phone 5 or the PC 7 into the control unit 13.

  Furthermore, in this Embodiment and a modification, a contest can be performed simply based on the capability value of each user. Motivation for exercise by the training system 9 can be given to the user by encouraging the competition through the contest. That is, it is possible to support the user's continuation of exercise. Further, the user can transmit the capability value simply by inputting a character string representing the capability value to the mobile phone 5 or the PC 7.

  Further, in the present embodiment and the modification, the training menu is provided from the center server 1, so that the user can execute any training menu. Moreover, since the measurement result of the user's ability value is displayed on the television monitor 15 for each exercise item, the user can grasp not only the exercise but also his / her ability value for each exercise item. It can be a measure of improvement.

  Further, in the present embodiment and the modification, the hidden exercise section can be included in the training menu provided from the center server 1. The hidden exercise item is an exercise item that the user cannot select by operating the training system 9. In other words, it is an exercise item that is pre-installed in the training system 9 but is invisible to the user (cannot be executed) unless the training menu provided from the center server 1 is executed. Therefore, motivation can be given to the acquisition of the training menu from the center server 1.

If YES in step S684, the flow advances to step S684. If it is determined that a radio button indicating that another training theme is desired is checked, the flow advances to step S674.

  Here, the processing of steps S674 to S686 is the same as the processing of steps S604 to S616 in FIG. Also, the processing of steps S552 to S562 is the same as the processing of steps S506 to S516 in FIG.

  In step S688, the center server 1 creates a training menu according to a predetermined algorithm based on the user's age, BMI, the training theme selected by the user, the exercise time selected by the user, and the improvement level. Here, the center server 1 determines the improvement degree by comparing the previous measurement result of the exercise section instructed on the check screen 325 of FIG. 38 with the current measurement result. However, if NO is determined in step S672, a check screen including a new exercise section is transmitted in step S682, and a measurement result of the new exercise section is transmitted in step S558. The degree of improvement is not considered because it cannot be compared with the measurement results.

  Here, the processing in steps S690 to S694 is the same as the processing in steps S620 to S624 in FIG. Also, the processing in step S564 is the same as the processing in step S518 in FIG.

  In the above description, the PC 7 is used as the user interface, but the mobile phone 5 can be used instead. In this case, the exchange of information with the center server 1 is the same as in the case of the PC 7.

  Next, a modification of the present embodiment will be described. The hardware configuration of the modified example in the second embodiment is the same as the hardware configuration of the modified example in the first embodiment described in FIG. Therefore, also in the modification of the second embodiment, the control unit 13 communicates directly with the center server 1 without using the mobile phone 5 or the PC 7. Therefore, the training menu created by the center server 1 is directly given to the control unit 13 via the network NW, and the execution result code is also given directly from the control unit 13 to the center server 1 via the network NW. It is done. The measurement result in the training system 9 is also directly given from the control unit 13 to the center server 1 via the network NW. That is, in the modification, input data to the training system 9 and output data from the training system 9 are exchanged with the center server 1 without going through the mobile phone 5 or the PC 7. Except for this point, the modification is the same as that of the second embodiment.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the user ability value (the data transmitted in step S512 in FIG. 29, the data transmitted in step S536 in FIG. 30, the data transmitted in step S558 in FIG. 32). ), Information on the user's body (the data transmitted in step S506 in FIG. 29, the data transmitted in step S552 in FIG. 32), and the user's age, the training menu is constructed. Provide appropriate training menus. Further, the training menu includes a plurality of types of exercise items, and each exercise item can be implemented by one training system 9. Therefore, it is possible to allow the user to implement a plurality of types of exercises while improving user convenience, and to support the user's continued exercise. Furthermore, since the user does not need to create a training menu by himself, the convenience of the user can be improved.

  Here, the ability value is a value representing the motor function of the body such as instantaneous power, reflexes, ingenuity, agility, leg strength, and rhythm, as well as brain functions such as memory, judgment, and concentration. This is a concept including a value representing. In addition, information on the body relates to the body size such as height, weight, waist, bust, hip, wrist circumference, upper arm circumference, ankle circumference, thigh circumference, head circumference, chest circumference, sitting height, leg size, and neck circumference. In addition to information, heart rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, blood sugar level, total cholesterol level, LDL cholesterol level, internal information such as basal body temperature, etc., as well as bedtime, wake-up time, sleep time, exercise time, smoking, And information on lifestyle such as drinking.

  In the present embodiment, a training menu of a theme selected by the user from a plurality of training themes (the theme transmitted in step S510 in FIG. 29, the theme transmitted in step S556 in FIG. 32) can be created. That is, the user's intention is reflected in the creation of the training menu. Since the user's intention is reflected in this way, it is possible to create an exercise menu that can expect more user continuity than a training menu created unilaterally by a computer.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is possible to create a training menu for the exercise time desired by the user (exercise time information transmitted in step S514 in FIG. 29, exercise time information transmitted in step S560 in FIG. 32). Therefore, since the user can exercise at the exercise time desired by the user, the convenience of the user can be further improved.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the user can request a change of the training menu with his / her own intention (steps S650 and S540 in FIG. 30). Since the user's intention is reflected in this way, it is possible to create an exercise menu that can further expect the user's continuity as compared with the exercise menu created unilaterally by the computer.

  If the user wants to change the training menu but wants the same training theme (YES in step S672 in FIG. 32), the user can save as much time as possible to input the same information (for example, exercise theme) as much as possible. This is because in this case, steps S674 to S682 in FIG. 32 are skipped.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the training menu created by the center server 1 can include an exercise item that cannot be selected by the training system 9 by the user. For this reason, the exercise item that the user cannot select and execute by his / her own intention can be executed by the training menu received from the network NW, so that a fresh training menu can be provided for the user.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the following modifications are possible.

  (1) When the rhythm guide screen of FIG. 17 and the measuring screen of FIG. 18 are set as one set, a plurality of sets can be executed in the rhythmic sense measurement mode. In this case, the appearance interval Tg of the guide object 90, that is, the tempo is varied for each set. Therefore, the user has to perform stepping based on a different tempo for each set. As a result, the difficulty level can be increased compared to the case where the tempo between sets is the same.

  (2) In the above description, various instructions are given to the user by video, but the instructions can be given together with sound or only by sound.

  (3) The measurement object by the flight time measurement mode, the flight rate measurement mode, the agility measurement mode, the body reflectivity measurement mode, the body reaction force measurement mode, the body follow-up force measurement mode, the instantaneous force measurement mode, and the reaction velocity measurement mode are It is thought that it depends mainly on athletic ability. On the other hand, the measurement objects in the first to third judgment measurement modes, the memory measurement mode, the rhythmic sense measurement mode, and the circadian clock measurement mode are considered to be closely related to the function of the brain.

  (4) In the above, 14 exercise items are listed as an example. However, the type and number of exercise items are not limited to this. The training menu stored as a default in the external memory 31 of the control unit 13 does not include a certain exercise item, and only includes the certain exercise item in the training menu provided by the center server 1. It can also be done. The so-called hidden exercise section is created. Of course, the external memory 31 of the control unit 13 stores in advance a control program for generating video and audio for allowing the user to execute a hidden exercise item.

  (5) In the above, examples such as a training menu stored in advance in the external memory 31 of the control unit 13 as a default, a training menu dynamically created for each user, and a menu for a contest are given. . In addition, a menu for events can be included. This menu consists of any part of the 14 exercise sections, is converted into a character string, and is distributed and distributed by e-mail, WEB site, and paper medium. And each user inputs the character string showing a menu into the control unit 13, and registers the said menu. This menu can include hidden exercises. The user uses the training system 9 to perform exercise based on the registered menu. For example, this menu can be used in an event at a store or the like in which a training system 9 is used to cause a customer to compete for a result. Needless to say, it can be used by individuals.

  (6) In the above, the mat unit 11 is used as the controller of the training system 9. However, the controller is not limited to this, and various exercise equipment such as a stepper that allows the user to perform a stepping exercise under a load state can be used. However, it is required that the output from the controller is input to the computer and can generate video and audio accordingly. This is because, in one training system, it is necessary for the user to execute a plurality of types of exercises by software.

  (7) The center server 1 stores the measurement result received through the check screen 325 in association with the date and time, generates a graph representing the time change of the measurement result, and provides it to the PC 7 and the mobile phone 5. You can also.
