摘要:
A system and method for managing ventilation of a user, through the use of an oral appliance, is disclosed. The appliance is configured to fit between the user's teeth and lips or cheeks to inhibit ventilation by the user around the appliance, and includes a passageway. An airway resistor within the passageway includes an aperture that is sized to allow a metered amount of air flow by the ventilation of the user. A pressure sensor measures an air pressure in the aperture, which measurement is transmitted to an external computer processor to generate feedback data for the user.

The various embodiments of the present invention generally provide a control system and a process for an exercise apparatus configurable into a combined treadmill and stepper mode. The apparatus may also be configured into stepper only and treadmill only modes. The apparatus generally includes a master control unit, a first sensor, in communication with the master control unit, which generates a first signal indicative of an effective tread speed for the apparatus, and a resistive element that includes at least one resistance level. Using the first signal, the resistance level, and empirical information, the amount of energy expended by a user of the apparatus may be calculated and the operation of the apparatus controlled. Various sensors, actuators and information, such as that obtained from various data structures, may be utilized in performing calculations and controlling the features, functions and operation of the apparatus.

Such control functions provide for various exercise levels and/or programs and may utilize various mechanisms, sensors, and other control apparatus to control the operation of the exercise apparatus for various exercise routines.
摘要:
A distributive method of physical rehabilitation and conditioning using an ergometer on which exercise protocols or workouts are performed by a subject is described. The intensity and duration of the workouts are defined as the independent variables and physiological and psychological variables are measured and treated as dependent variables. The exercise protocol is stored on a portable medium and the exercise program further defines a series of successive exercise sessions conducted over time in which the same exercise protocol is repeatedly performed by the subject; and, during the performance of which protocol, physiological and psychological variables are measured. The relative changes in one or more of the dependent variables which occur over the course of the series of sessions of the exercise training program measure progress and provide the basis for modification of the exercise protocol for the next exercise training program for that subject.
