A method and apparatus for recording monitoring and analysing a person's performance in the gym

摘要

A system for recording, monitoring and analysing performance in the gym includes a transducer (15) and interface (13) fitted to standard gym equipment (1). Client software for a handheld computer (16), interface software for a personal computer (PC), and server software for a host system. The client software is used to record and send data representing time, displacement and angle of the lifted weight (30). The interface software facilitates transfer of the data from the handheld computer (16) to the host server. The server software facilitates upload of data, which it stores, analyses and reports through a web interface and by file downloads. It also allows for on-line programming of exercise routines for later download into handheld computers, through the PC interface software.
