Abstract

The present application provides a system and method of utilizing a visual signal of light as concentration aid to increase the effectiveness of physical exercises performed on, or applied to, a targeted body area. Visual images are displayed to the exerciser in such manner as to focus the exerciser's attention to the muscle group that is being targeted with the exercise. Each of the displayed images illustrates a human form showing at least the isolated muscle group and a visual cue in or about the isolated muscle group in varying degrees of intensity through the full range of movement of the exercise. The visual signal of light reinforces the sensory feeling in particular body area. The exerciser's brain generates the muscle reflex while the exerciser concentrates his or her attention on the visual signal of light that illuminates the targeted area of the human body through the entire exercise routine that is depicted in the interface screen.

Dependent claims

A method of application of a visual signal of light as aid of concentration and enhancement of body motor reflexes, comprising:

receiving, by a processor, at least one set of instructions from a client device, wherein the at least set of instructions comprises at least system parameter and at least one exercise routine parameter;
identifying, by the processor, at least one exercise routine in response to receiving the at least one set of instructions from the client device, wherein the at least one exercise routine targets at least one body area;
enhancing, by the processor, the at least one exercise routine by the at least one system parameter received from the client device;
communicating, by the processor, the at least one exercise routine to the client device;
displaying, by the processor, a first image,
wherein the first image depicts at least one targeted body area,
wherein the at least one targeted body area is illuminated by the visual signal of light,
wherein the first image is in static mode, and
wherein the visual signal of light illuminates the at least one targeted body area with constant light intensity;
initiating, by the processor, a countdown of time allocated for the first image to be displayed on a screen of the client device;
upon lapse of the time allocated for the first image to be displayed on the screen of the client device, displaying, by the processor, a second image,
wherein the second image depicts at least one targeted body area,
wherein the at least one targeted body area is illuminated by the visual signal of light,
wherein the second image is in dynamic mode, and
wherein the visual signal of light illuminates the at least one targeted body area with fluctuating light intensity;
initiating, by the processor, a countdown of time allocated for the second image to be displayed on the screen of the client device.

13 more elements

An apparatus for application of a visual signal of light as aid of concentration and enhancement of body motor reflexes, comprising:

a memory operable to store at least one set of instructions from a client device;
and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and operable to:
receive at least one set of instructions from a client device, wherein the at least set of instructions comprises at least one system parameter and at least one exercise routine parameter;
identify at least one exercise routine in response to receiving the at least one set of instructions from the client device, wherein the at least one exercise routine targets at least one body area;
enhance the at least one exercise routine by the at least one system parameter received from the client device;
communicate the at least one exercise routine to the client device;
display a first image,
wherein the first image depicts at least one targeted body area,
wherein the at least one targeted body area is illuminated by the visual signal of light,
wherein the first image is in static mode, and
wherein the visual signal of light illuminates the at least one targeted body area with constant light intensity;
initiate a countdown of time allocated for the first image to be displayed on a screen of the client device;
upon lapse of the time allocated for the first image to be displayed on the screen of the client device, display a second image,
wherein the second image depicts at least one targeted body area,
wherein the at least one targeted body area is illuminated by the visual signal of light,
wherein the second image consists of at least one of a dynamic mode and static mode;
and
wherein the visual signal of light illuminates the at least one targeted body area with fluctuating light intensity;
initiate a countdown of time allocated for the second image to be displayed on the screen of the client device.
