A personal training system and method includes generating a personalized exercise regimen for a user, based on user-related data entered into a computerized system. The user moves from booth to booth within an exercise facility to perform different exercises corresponding to the computer-generated exercise regimen for that user. The personalized exercise regimen for the user may be automatically adjusted according to the user's performance results input into the computerized system.

Personal training system and method

A grip force assessment device, method and system that can provide a grip force map image presenting a detailed image of the complex grip capability/capacity of a human hand including the palm and all digits improving over existing assessment systems and their attendant inaccuracy, poor reliability, and lack of meaningful clinical relevance. The grip force assessment system includes a grip force transducer including a high-resolution tactile array that produces a high-resolution grip force signal. A processing device processes, analyzes and outputs grip force data. A display provides a grip force map image showing distribution of individual finger function relative to entire hand function. The grip force transducer includes a high-resolution tactile sensor wherein the greatest distance between adjacent pressure sensing nodes is in the range of 1.0 mm to 10.0 mm.

Grip force transducer and grip force assessment system and method

An apparatus, system, and method for isometnc exercise that safely reduces resting blood pressure and increases overall cardiovascular health The apparatus (100) includes a handle or grip (103, 104) configured to provide natural resistance to force and maximize user comfort The system includes squeezing the handle or gnp (103, 104) of the apparatus (100) with a force (113, 114) that is less than the maximum squeeze force of the user, thereby reducing blood flow through contracting arm muscles and safely increasing blood pressure during exercise Resting blood pressure is reduced through regular use of the system The method includes measuring and recording the maximum squeeze force of a user (900, 1001, 1003), calculating a fractional force (1005, 1007) using the duration of exercise or a desired fractional force percentage, and alternately inducing the user to apply the fractional force (1005, 1007) for a calculated time

Work capacities testing apparatus and method

A plurality of private booths are provided for users to perform exercises of an exercise regimen. The exercise regimen is based upon user input and fitness and test results. The user is provided a predetermined amount of time to perform a goal-number of repetitions of the exercise within each booth, and is guided from booth-to-booth to provide the different exercises of the exercise regimen.

Personal training system and related exercise facility and method

The grip strength device is configured to gauge the grip strength of contracted muscles or aid in exercising particular muscles by providing resistance against the contracted muscles. The grip strength device is inserted into a user's vagina or held in a user's hand. The user either contracts the pubococcygeal or hand muscles depending on the casing used. The grip strength device has a removable casing containing a first fluid, a first bellows, a second bellows and a pressure gauge. The first bellows has a closed end and a first valve in communication with the casing. The second bellows has a second fluid. The second bellows has a second valve connected to the pressure gauge, and a closed end abutting the closed end of the first bellows. Pressure applied to the removable casing is communicated from the first bellows to the second bellows and measured by the pressure gauge.
