A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11964189B2) discloses a novel training device designed to enhance workout efficiency. The device comprises a force receiving component moving along a closed trajectory, a location detector to track the component's position, a resistance generator to provide resistance, and a controller that adjusts resistance based on the location and force values. Users can set target parameters for training amounts, with the device adjusting resistance levels accordingly. The closed trajectory consists of multiple sections, each with varying resistance levels controlled by the controller. Additionally, the device includes features such as memory storage for resistance parameters, sensors for measuring resistance, speed, cardiopulmonary parameters, and muscle activation, allowing for personalized and adaptive training sessions.

Furthermore, the training device can cater to multiple force receiving components, each with pedal components moving along the closed circular trajectory. The location detector and resistance generator are configured to work with these components, adjusting resistance levels based on their positions within the trajectory. The controller can fine-tune resistance levels for specific sections based on user-set parameters, ensuring a tailored workout experience. With the ability to monitor various physiological parameters and adjust resistance accordingly, this innovative training device offers a comprehensive solution for optimizing fitness routines and achieving targeted training goals efficiently.
