Abstract

A device for practicing sport activities is associated with an exercise machine. The device for practicing sport activities comprises a plurality of diffusers designed to emit stimuli and including at least one speaker configured to emit music, a controller of the device for practicing sport activities, including a program of the sport activities to be performed and a relative intensity of the sport activities. The controller is configured to adjust the emitted stimuli propagated by the plurality of diffusers according to the sport activities to be performed and the relative intensity of the sport activities.

Claims

1. A device for practicing sport activities associated with an exercise machine, said device for practicing sport activities comprising:

a plurality of diffusers operable to emit stimuli including at least one loudspeaker operable to emit music

control means of said device for practicing sports activities, comprising a program of the sport activities to be performed and a relative intensity of said sport activities,

connection means with a device for detecting a psychophysical parameter,

wherein said control means are operable to adjust said emitted stimuli propagated by said plurality of diffusers according to values measured by said device for detecting the psychophysical parameter, and wherein said plurality of diffusers further comprises a fragrance diffuser operable to diffuse at least two different fragrances correlated to the values measured by said device for detecting the psychophysical parameter and controlled by the control means.

2. The device for practicing sport activities according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of diffusers comprises a screen.

3. The device for practicing sport activities according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of diffusers comprises lighting means.

4. The device for practicing sport activities according claim 1, wherein said device for detecting the psychophysical parameter is a heart rate monitor.

5. A method of a device for practicing sport activities, said device for practicing sport activities being associated with an exercise machine, said device for practicing sport activities comprising:

control means of said device for practicing sport activities, including a program of the sport activities to be performed and a relative intensity of said sport activities,

a plurality of diffusers including a fragrance diffuser operable to diffuse at least two different fragrances correlated to values measured by a device for detecting a psychophysical parameter, the plurality of diffusers further including at least one speaker operable to emit music, wherein the plurality of diffusers are controlled by the control means,

wherein said method comprises a regulation of said at least one fragrance and said emitted music according to the sport activities to be performed and the relative intensity of the sport activities,

wherein said device for practicing sport activities further comprises connection means with the device for detecting the psychophysical parameter, and

wherein said method further comprises a step of reading the values measured by said device for detecting the psychophysical parameter, and adjusting said at least one fragrance and said emitted music depending on the values measured by said device for detecting the psychophysical parameter.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein said adjusting said emitted music depending on the values measured by said device for detecting the psychophysical parameter provides for a variation of said emitted music in a manner directly proportional to a variation of said relative intensity of said sport activities.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein said adjusting said emitted music depending on the values measured by said device for detecting the psychophysical parameter provides for a variation of a beat of said emitted music, in a manner directly proportional to the variation of said relative intensity of said sport activities.
