Abstract
An adaptive exercise system includes a treadmill, at least one imaging device, and computing hardware configured to determine an exertion level of a user, and modify one or more treadmill setting based on the exertion level. The system may be configured to derive user exertion level from infrared imaging captured by the at least one imaging device. In some embodiments, the system may identify appropriate modifications to the treadmill based on the user’s current exertion levels and baseline levels.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a treadmill comprising:
- a front end;
- a rear end;
- a belt defining a running surface that extends substantially between the front end and the rear end;
- and
- one or more lifting mechanisms configured to adjust an orientation of the running surface about a pivot point positioned centrally between the front end and the rear end;
- computer hardware configured for:
- generating a virtual course having variations in incline and decline;
- operating the belt at a particular speed;
- receiving user context data of a user utilizing the treadmill;
- and
- automatically modifying at least one treadmill attribute based on the user context data, by at least one of:
- modifying the particular speed of the belt;
- or
- causing the one or more lifting mechanism to adjust the orientation of the running surface.
A exercise platform comprising:
- a front end;
- a rear end;
- an exercise surface that extends substantially between the front end and the rear end;
- one or more lifting mechanisms configured to adjust an orientation of the exercise surface about a pivot point positioned centrally between the front end and the rear end;
- and
- computing hardware configured to:
- control the one or more lifting mechanisms to adjust an incline level of the running surface about the pivot point;
- determine a current user exertion level;
- identify an exercise platform modification based on the current user exertion level;
- and
- cause the one or more lifting mechanism to adjust the orientation of the exercise surface based on the identified exercise platform modification.
A system comprising:
- a treadmill comprising:
- a front end;
- a rear end;
- a running surface that extends substantially between the front end and the rear end;
- one or more lifting mechanisms configured to adjust an orientation of the running surface about a pivot point positioned between the front end and the rear end, wherein the one or more lifting mechanisms comprise:
- a first motor;
- a first connector operatively connecting the first motor to a first portion of the treadmill adjacent the front end;
- a second motor;
- and
- a second connector operatively connecting the second motor to a second portion of the treadmill adjacent the rear end;
- and
- computing hardware configured to:
- control each of the first motor and the second motor to adjust a length of the first connector and the second connector to adjust the orientation of the running surface;
- receive user context data;
- and
- modify the orientation of the running surface based on the user context data.
