摘要:
Described herein are training systems comprising more than one training device useful for improving the agility and/or speed of a trainee. At least two of the training devices in a system comprise signaling modules that can be used to engage or dis-engage the trainee. The disclosed systems more accurately re-create actual “play” environments in sports or any other endeavors having more than one potential target of engagement (e.g., team sports).
摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention includes a system and method for alleviating symptoms of a medical disorder of a patient by forced exercise. The system includes an exercise machine having movable portions that move in response to a first contribution by a patient and in response a second contribution by a motor. The system further includes at least one mechanical sensor and a control system programmed to alter the second contribution by the motor in response to the sensed data.
摘要:
Devices and methods useful for enhancing respiration quality in humans are described herein. In particular, the present invention relates to devices and methods useful for the treatment, prevention, and/or management of respiratory disorders and associated complications. Herein, a training device is described that increases the difficulty of nasal breathing.
摘要:
Methods and systems for monitoring biometric and/or environmental data of a user are provided. The user monitoring system includes a dental appliance configured to fit substantially inside a mouth of a user, a temperature sensor for measuring user temperature, a pressure sensor for measuring pressure exerted by the user, and a processor for acquiring and processing temperature and pressure data of the user. The user monitoring system may communicate with an observer monitoring system. In some embodiments, the user monitoring system also measures one or more of blood oxygen saturation level, proper placement of the dental appliance, ambient air temperature, light levels and respiration rate.
摘要:
A respiratory muscle endurance training device (RMET) includes a chamber and a patient interface. In one implementation, one or both of a CO2 sensor or a temperature sensor can be coupled to the chamber or patient interface to provide the user or caregiver with indicia about the CO2 level in, or the temperature of, the chamber or patient interface, and/or the duration of use of the device. In another implementation, the RMET may have a fixed volume portion adjustable to contain a measured portion of a specific patient's inspiratory volume capacity. Methods of using the device are also provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for controlling and/or regulating a training and/or rehabilitation unit, the device comprising at least one training and/or rehabilitation unit, a sensor unit having a sensor for determining oxygen concentration and for determining carbon dioxide concentration, a control unit for the sensors, a microcontroller in the control unit for controlling the heating power of heating elements of the sensors, depending on breath flow volume, for maintaining constant sensor temperatures, and a resistance and/or braking arrangement of the training and/or rehabilitation unit that can be controlled and/or regulated based on the breath gas composition determined by the sensor unit. Said device can be used to increase endurance, preferably by means of altitude training.
摘要:
A transportable apparatus for performing cardiovascular training, including: an exercise device that is adapted to enable a user to perform a specific motion pattern; an ergometer that provides an indication of the amount of work performed by the user of the exercise device; an alarm system that provides an indication to the user responsive to the readings of the ergometer; wherein the alarm system is preprogrammed to provide indications responsive to one or more readings of the ergometer based on the results of a cardiorespiratory exercise test performed on the user with the exercise device.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for controlling and/or regulating a training and/or rehabilitation unit, wherein a) a sensor unit is used in the flow of inspiration and expiration air of a person or an animal using the training and/or rehabilitation unit, b) physiological parameters of ventilation and/or gas exchange of the person or the animal are determined using the respiratory gas composition and/or breath volume measured using the sensor unit, c) one or more maximum performance variables are determined on the basis of the determined parameters under submaximal loading, using a regression function and/or by limit loading to the maximum performance capability, and d) a resistance or brake arrangement of the training and/or rehabilitation unit is controlled and/or regulated as a function of at least one of the determined maximum performance variables.

摘要:
A method of estimating a physiological index of a user includes measuring a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and a first physiological index of a user at different exercise levels of an exercise or a daily activity having a varying exercise intensity, and estimating a second physiological index of the user at a maximal exercise level based on the RPE and the first physiological index.
