Abstract

A switchable intelligent fitness handle is disclosed. A processor (11), a movement posture sensor (12) and a touch sensor (13) are built in the handle (7). The movement posture sensor (12) and the touch sensor (13) are connected to the processor (11). Each handheld fitness equipment has a corresponding sensor, and a pin connector (16, 17, 18, 19) that is matched with the bayonet (15) of the handle and provided with a signal line. Thus, the goal of accomplishing a set of exercises with a plurality of handheld fitness equipments by using one same set of handles can be achieved. An intelligent fitness set containing the fitness handle is further disclosed.

Claims
