Abstract
An electrical stimulation indoor bike includes a stationary bicycle; an electrical stimulation unit connected to the stationary bicycle either with wire or without wire, and including an electrode pad for applying electrical stimulation to a user's body; and a control unit to control electrical stimulation of the electrical stimulation unit in accordance with an exercise mode of the stationary bicycle. By the electrical stimulation indoor bike, a variety of electrical stimulation according to pedal movement is applied to a body through an indoor bike connected with a low-frequency stimulator, thereby maximizing exercise effect.
Claims5
An electrical stimulation indoor bike comprising:
- a stationary bicycle having a pedal;
- an electrical stimulation unit connected to the stationary bicycle with wire or wirelessly, and including an electrode pad for applying electrical stimulation to a user's body;
- and
- a control unit configured to control electrical stimulation of the electrical stimulation unit in accordance with an exercise mode of the stationary bicycle,
- wherein the exercise mode includes a plurality of programs that define a pedal load and/or a speed profile of the stationary bicycle to be selected by a user's input,
- wherein the control unit is configured to change an intensity or a frequency of electrical stimulation generated at the electrical stimulation unit in accordance with the pedal load and/or the speed profile, and
- wherein, when one of the plurality of programs is selected and a pedal load other than a pedal load preset in the selected program is selected, an intensity of electrical stimulation corresponding to the speed profile is changed depending on the selected pedal load.
An electrical stimulation indoor bike comprising:
- a stationary bicycle having a pedal;
- an electrical stimulation unit connected to the stationary bicycle with wire or wirelessly for applying electrical stimulation to a user's body;
- and
- a control unit configured to control electrical stimulation of the electrical stimulation unit in accordance with an exercise mode of the stationary bicycle,
- wherein the electrical stimulation unit includes a plurality of electrode pads,
- wherein the control unit controls electrical stimulation of the electrical stimulation unit so that a current selectively flows to each electrode pad of the plurality of electrode pads, and
- wherein the control unit controls electrical stimulation of the electrical stimulation unit so that a current flows to an electrode pad attached to user's upper body muscles which respond in accordance with lowering of the pedal, when the user lowers the pedal of the stationary bicycle.
An electrical stimulation indoor bike comprising:
- a stationary bicycle having a pedal;
- an electrical stimulation unit connected to the stationary bicycle with wire or wirelessly, and including an electrode pad for applying electrical stimulation to a user's body;
- and
- a control unit configured to control electrical stimulation of the electrical stimulation unit in accordance with an exercise mode of the stationary bicycle,
- wherein the exercise mode includes a plurality of programs that define a pedal load or a speed profile of the stationary bicycle selected by a user's input,
- wherein the control unit is configured to change an intensity or a frequency of electrical stimulation generated at the electrical stimulation unit in accordance with the pedal load or the speed profile,
- wherein the speed profile comprises:
- a warm-up step in which the pedal starts rotating and increases a rotation speed up to a predetermined speed at a low speed,
- an intensive exercise step in which the pedal rotates from the predetermined speed to a higher speed, and
- a finishing step in which the pedal rotates from the speed of the intensive exercise step to a lower speed to be stopped,
- wherein the control unit controls the electrical stimulation unit so as to generate electrical stimulation corresponding to each step,
- wherein the electrical stimulation unit includes a heat providing unit for providing heat to a user's body area to which the electrode pad is attached, and
- wherein the heat providing unit is configured to relax muscles of the user's body area to which the electrode pad is attached at the warm-up step.
