Training device

A training device comprising:

• an information outputter including at least one of a monitor and a speaker;
• an exercise status detector including (i) a body portion, (ii) a first grip portion spaced apart from a second grip portion by the body portion, and (iii) sensors detecting movement of the exercise status detector, wherein the exercise status detector is shaped like a dumbbell, and wherein the exercise status detector includes the body portion as a shaft;
• a processor and associated storage that (i) store training action instruction information, (ii) output the stored training action instruction information via the information outputter, and (iii) evaluate a degree of matching between a content of the training action instruction information and the movement of the exercise status detector based on output signals from the sensors;
• and
• a stimulus signal generator communicatively coupled to the processor and capable of providing a stimulus signal to an arm of a trainee,
• wherein the sensors of the exercise status detector include:
• a plurality of pressure sensors, provided with each of the first grip portion and the second grip portion, that detect a grip or a finger pressure when those grip portions are gripped by the trainee;
• an acceleration sensor detecting acceleration according to the movement of the body portion;
• and
• an angle sensor detecting a rotation angle or a tilt angle of the body portion.
