System and method for intelligent self-calibration of target load thresholds for users of exercise machines

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

• determine a bone geometry of a bone in a portion of a body of a user, such that the portion is going to be exercised by the user performing an exercise on an exercise machine;
• determine, using the bone geometry, a strain on the bone in the portion of the body of the user, wherein the strain is needed to trigger osteogenesis;
• determine a target load threshold representing an amount of load to be added by the user to the exercise machine during the exercise to achieve the strain that triggers osteogenesis;
• and
• while the user performs the exercise on the exercise machine, cause the target load threshold to be represented on a user interface of a computing device.

A system, comprising:

• one or more memory devices storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processing devices communicatively coupled to the one or more memory devices, wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to execute the instructions to:
• determine a bone geometry of a bone in a portion of a body of a user that is going to be exercised by the user, such that the portion is performing an exercise on an exercise machine;
• determine, using the bone geometry, a strain on the bone in the portion of the body of the user, wherein the strain is needed to trigger osteogenesis;
• determine a target load threshold representing an amount of load to be added by the user to the exercise machine during the exercise to achieve the strain that triggers osteogenesis;
• and
• while the user performs the exercise on the exercise machine, cause the target load threshold to be represented on a user interface of a computing device.
