Systems and methods for administering an exercise program
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating a fully contracted exercise regimen for a subject, the method comprising:
- (A) receiving medical health information of said subject;
(B) developing one or more exercise constraints as a function of the medical health information of said subject;
(C) receiving the one or more exercise constraints at an exercise apparatus, the apparatus comprising a strain gauge;
(D) imposing or monitoring with the strain gauge the one or more exercise constraints during the subject'"'"'s performance of a plurality of fully contracted exercises using the exercise apparatus in the presence of a fitness trainer or health professional who is not assigned to any other subjects during this step;
(E) computing an exercise result, the exercise result comprising information about a force measured by the strain gauge during the subject'"'"'s performance of the plurality of fully contracted exercises;
(F) based upon the exercise result, determining a mandatory recovery period for said subject after step (D) during which time said subject is not to perform said plurality of fully contracted exercises;
(G) based upon the exercise result, developing one or more refined exercise constraints; and
(H) repeating steps (D) and (E) based on the one or more refined exercise constraints.

Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating an isometric contraction exercise regimen for many subjects across a network are provided. One or more exercise constraints are developed for a subject as a function of the medical health information of the subject. The subject performs a plurality of isometric contraction exercises using exercise equipment always in the presence of a personal fitness trainer thereby producing an exercise result. The exercise equipment has a strain gauge in order to impose exercise constraints in the one or more exercise constraints. A mandatory recovery period for the subject is then imposed. During this mandatory recovery period, the subject does not perform isometric contraction exercises. These steps are repeated using a new set of one or more exercise constraints that were refined based upon the exercise result of a previous isometric contraction exercise work out session.
