Abstract

The invention relates to an exercise method used in facilities such as gyms, physical treatment centres, etc. that helps to enhance muscle strengths at a certain rate by means of constantly keeping exercises made by a person under control with the help of a microchip.

Claims

1. An exercise method used for enhancement of muscle strength in the body and comprising a microchip providing self-control, characterized in that

the maximum muscle strength of a person starting an exercise program is measured by iso-kinetic devices;

an exercise program specific to the person is prepared involving the number of repetition of the exercises to be done by use of resistance/weights, specific to the person and determined by use of some certain mathematical formula within the findings obtained therefrom,

the prepared exercise program is firstly transferred into a computer and then from the computer into at least one microchip,

the person doing exercise does the exercises by use of rehabilitation devices pneumatically operating and preventing overloading on the joints while exercising by help of the at least one microchip, and

the information about the enhancement of muscle strength of the person completing the exercise program is provided to the person with a development report containing initial and final measurement values.

2. An exercise method used to enhance the Muscle strength in the body and comprising a microchip providing self-control, characterized in that

the exercises to be used, the number of repetition of them and the loads/weights to be used while doing the exercises are controlled with the help of the microchip and failure to follow an exercise program is prevented,

a trainee is held obliged to inform an instructor about the reason for failing to follow the exercise program,

the instructor is kept consistently informed about the progress of the trainee, and

the operation of exercise equipment is prevented by help of the microchip in the event the exercise program is not followed or the trainee fails to attend sessions regularly.

3. An exercise method used for enhancement of muscle strength in the body and comprising a microchip providing self-control, characterized in that

all exercises done by a user on exercise equipment are recorded in at least one microchip so that an instructor is able to control the exercise equipment used, including the days when the exercise equipment are used by a user, the weights used in the exercise, and the number of repetition of the exercises, and

the instructor can consistently monitor whether an exercise program is appropriate for a trainee or if the exercise program has been useful or not for the trainee.
