Abstract :
It is anticipated to offer a safe and optimal exercise environment for the elderly when they want to perform exercise for keeping health. In this paper, we present an Internet-based cycle ergometer health promotion system that aims at supporting appropriate and sustainable personal fitting process for individual elderly persons. Since the elderly shows great individual differences during exercise, continuously supported and appropriate workload control has been implemented according to different exercise levels of each subject by considered historic data. Moreover, it is conceivable to take continuous exercise by using our proposed system at any time and at any possible place. A sport doctor analysis tool (SDAT) has been developed to assist experts for providing improved individual exercise protocols.
