This study introduces a new wearable device that measures biosignals and controls exercise machines for personalized workouts. The device successfully customized cycle ergometer exercise for individuals, enhancing the wellness environment.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Wearable Technology
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Wearable technology is increasingly used for health monitoring.
  • Current monitoring alone is insufficient for personalized, biosignal-controlled exercise.
  • A novel wearable unit with measurement and control capabilities is proposed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a wearable unit for customized, biosignal-controlled exercise.
  • To integrate measurement and workload control functions into a single wearable device.
  • To support individualized exercise programs based on real-time physiological data.

Main Methods:

  • The wearable unit measures heart rate and electromyogram (EMG) signals.
  • It outputs workload control commands to exercise machines.

  • Fuzzy control methods adapt exercise programs based on biosignals and wireless computer communication.

    • Main Results:

    • A prototype was tested on nine participants using an Internet-based cycle ergometer.
    • The wearable unit effectively controlled ergometer workload.
    • Continuous support for gradual changes in physical activity was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • Wearable units with integrated measurement and control functions are crucial.
    • This technology advances personalized exercise customization.
    • It contributes to establishing a convenient and supportive wellness environment.
