Abstract
We developed a portable digital exercise trainer device which manages, monitors and records the user´s physical status and workout during exercise session. It guides the user in doing efficient exercise to reach specific fitness goals. It keeps the full exercise program i.e. exercises start date and time, duration, mode, control parameter, intensity in its memory which helps the user in managing his exercise. Exercise program can be downloaded from the Internet. During exercise it continuously monitors the user´s physiological parameters: heart rate, number of steps walked, and energy consumed. If these parameters do not range within prescribed target zone, the device will alarm the user as a feedback to control exercise. The device displays these parameters on graphic LCD. During exercise it continuously records the heart rate and number of steps walked every 10 seconds along with exercise date and time. This stored information can be used as treatment for the user by an exercise expert. Real-time ECG monitoring can be viewed wirelessly on a remote PC
