Definitions

  • the present disclosure is directed to a velocity-based training system for use in conjunction with a barbell and associated method.
  • the disclosed system is designed to measure the speed at which a user completes a repetition of a certain movement, the system including a single time-of-flight sensor on a rotating body to measure the speed at which the user finishes the movement. Examples of movements that the disclosed system may be used to measure include squats, deadlifts, bench presses (flat, decline and incline) and overhead presses.
  • the design and operation of the disclosed system substantially reduces the cost relative to conventional devices based on the limited componentry required to make the requisite measurements, without sacrificing accuracy and/or simplicity of use.
  • the main components of the disclosed system may generally include, a time-of-flight sensor for measuring velocity, an accelerometer for angular changes in device, a touch screen or other input device for user interface/feedback, a buzzer or other aural element(s) for delivering aural feedback to the user, a ball bearing mechanism for maintaining position of operative components relative to a reference surface, e.g., the ground.
  • the disclosed system measures the speed at which a user completes a repetition of a certain movement based in part on a single time-of-flight sensor that is mounted relative to a rotatable body to measure the speed at which the user finishes the movement.
  • the rotational functionality of the disclosed system is facilitated by a ball bearing mechanism that allows the housing structure that encompasses the time-of-flight sensor to reorient itself so that the time-of-flight sensor can remain oriented toward the desired reference surface, i.e., the ground, floor, field or the like.
  • the disclosed system maintains rotational functionality that allows reorientation of the housing and associated time-of-flight sensor relative to the barbell.
  • the disclosed system has wide ranging applicability and may be used to measure movements associated with training activities such as squats, dead lifts, bench presses (flat, incline, decline) and overhead presses. Additional features, functions, and benefits of the disclosed system will be apparent from the following description.

  • the disclosed training system 100 may include a time-of-flight sensor 106 and an accelerometer 108.
  • the accelerometer 108 may act as a gyroscope.
  • the time-of-flight sensor 106 collects sensing data that is translated to velocity measurements of the system - and, therefore, the associated barbell - relative to a reference surface, e.g., the ground.
  • the accelerometer 108 measures the change in angle of the housing/time-of-flight sensor 106 relative to the reference surface, e.g., the ground, to allow corrective adjustments to the measurements of the time-of-flight sensor 106, thereby ensuring that changes in the angular orientation of the housing/time-of-flight sensor 106 at various instances of time - based on the barbell’s movements during the user’s actions - do not distort the velocity measurements of the disclosed system 100.
  • the reference surface e.g., the ground
  • exemplary embodiments of the disclosed system 100 may also include/provide user interactive functionalities.
  • the disclosed system 100 may include a processor positioned within or otherwise associated with the housing.
  • the processor receives measurement data from the time-of-flight sensor 106 and the accelerometer 108, and is programmed to calculate velocities based on that measurement data, e.g., average velocities and peak velocities.
  • the disclosed processor may be generally programmed to generate user feedback 109 based on user performance, including specifically calculated velocities associated with user activities.
  • Alternative and/or additional sound-based feedback 111 may be implemented according to the present disclosure, e.g., alternative sound generation components/systems may be provided (i.e., other than piezo buzzers), e.g., pre-recorded voice communications. Sound-based feedback 111 may be disabled by the user, e.g., based on user adjustment in the system settings, as may be desired by the user.
  • the disclosed processor also may generally include a graphical user interface, i.e., display 110, that may take the form of a touchscreen display 112 associated with the housing of the system 100 and/or a voice-recognition functionality.
  • the user may interact with the disclosed system by way of the user interface 110, e.g., by making desired selections through interaction(s) with the touchscreen display 112.
  • the user may set (and modify) pre-set performance criteria for the user’ s velocity-based training.
  • the user may also access historical performance data and performance trends through interaction with the touchscreen display 112 and view the information delivered to the display by the processor. Additional features and functions of the disclosed system may be accessed by and modified through user interactions with the disclosed user interface functionality.
  • process(es) for use of the disclosed measuring system 200 to obtain velocity-based performance measurements 201 and/or feedback may generally include mechanical processing elements 203, i.e., physical processes, and electrical processing elements 202.
  • the disclosed system 200 may be mounted 205 with respect to a barbell by or on behalf of the user. Electrically, the device is activated 204 and the user interface may display 206 and/or receive input of target velocity and repetitions 208 for the user’s workout activities.
  • the display is illustrated as being a touch screen it is understood that the display need not be a touchscreen and may be another display, e.g., an LCD or LED display with associated inputs, although not limited thereto.
  • the applicable performance targets 208 are preset for assessment of user performance using the disclosed system, and review and modification to those performance targets 208 on a periodic basis, e.g., before each workout program and/or between individual repetitions sets, is accommodated by the disclosed system.
  • the user interface is programmed to display the results 217 and the user may elect to commence a new set of repetitions 218, with the same or different barbell.
  • the user or his trainer typically interacts with the user interface as need to initiate the new activity, i.e., by selecting/confirming the desired performance metrics, the applicable user profile and the barbell weight/exercise to be undertaken by the user.
  • the device/system is turned off 219.
  • the system 300 may also include a buzzer mechanism 350 attached to or in a position internal to the housing 301. Alternative sound-producing mechanisms may be used, whether in place of the buzzer mechanism 350 or in combination with the buzzer mechanism 350.
  • the system 300 may also include tactile mechanisms. The tactile mechanisms may cause a slight vibration providing feedback to the user via the barbell 303, similar to the buzzer mechanism 350. The tactile mechanism may also provide aural feedback to the user, e.g., via a hum or other movement causing a noise.
  • the system 300 may include a buzzer mechanism 350, a tactile mechanism, or a combination thereof.
