In addition, the rotation sensor 1320 may detect at least one of the rotation amount and the rotation speed of the rotating body 1050 by converting the rotation repulsive force into an electrical signal.

Here, the gyroscope uses a ring that is completely symmetrical to the top and bottom by using a ring in a direction perpendicular to the top axis and again receiving it in a direction perpendicular to the previous one by using a second ring, and then again by a third ring. It is a device that allows the top to rotate in any direction by supporting it in a direction perpendicular to the two. Such gyroscopes are instruments used for measuring or maintaining orientation.

The weight exercise device 1000 is between the control pin 1020 and the position detection sensor 1310 from the position of the control pin 1020 to the maximum transfer of force before the user transmits the force to the force receiving unit 1030 The distance may be detected at specific time intervals (eg, at least one of 0.3 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, and 3 seconds). In this case, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 may determine the exercise speed based on the change in the distance detected at a specific time interval. In detail, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 may calculate an exercise speed by using a time interval in which the position of the adjusting pin 1020 is detected and the position change amount of the adjusting pin 1020.

Based on the position information of the adjustment pin, in the step of generating the exercise feedback information (S110), the weight exercise device 1000 is suitable for each physical condition stored in the position information of the adjustment pin 1020 and the memory 1700 in advance. And based on the appropriate weight of the weight block, it is possible to determine whether the user has an exercise with the appropriate exercise pattern. In addition, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 may generate exercise feedback information to be provided to the user based on the above-described determination.

For example, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 may compare the information on the weight of the weight block 1010 and the appropriate weight of the weight block 1010 for each physical condition.

As another example, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 may compare the calculated exercise speed information with the proper exercise speed for each physical condition.

At least one of seconds, 2 seconds, and 3 seconds). In this case, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 may determine the exercise speed based on the rotation amount information of the rotating unit 1050 detected at a specific time interval.

If the user applies a force to the force receiver to move the circular indicator between the exercise pattern indicator displayed in the 102 region and the exercise pattern indicator displayed in the 103 region, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 outputs the preset data. 1400).

For example, when the circular indicator moves between the movement pattern indicator displayed in the 102 region and the movement pattern indicator displayed in the 103 region, the image output unit 1420 may output text such as “PERFECT” in the 104 region. . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the image output unit 1420 may change the output color, and the audio output unit 1410 may output a preset sound.

On the other hand, the weight exercise device 1000 may provide the user with the number of exercises. For example, if the number of recommended exercise is 15 times and the number of times the user has exercised 18 times, as shown in the area 104, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 outputs an image such as “18”, “15”, and the like. It may be displayed on the unit 1420.

In addition, referring to region 106, the weight exercise apparatus 1000 outputs a screen summarizing at least one of an exercise time, a target number, a proposed number of times, a number of exercise, a number of target exercise sets, and a number of exercise sets performed. (1420).
