Treadmill control system

摘要

A microprocessor based exercise treadmill control system (34) comprises various features to enhance user operation. These features include programs operative to: permit a set of user controls to cause the treadmill (10) to initially operate at predetermined speeds; permit the user to design custom workouts; permit the user to switch between workout programs while the treadmill is in operation; and perform an automatic cooldown program where the duration of the cooldown is a function of the duration of the workout or the user's heart rate. The features also include a stop program responsive to a detector for automatically stopping the treadmill (10) when a user is no longer on the treadmill (10) and a frame tag module (76) attached to the treadmill frame having a non-volatile memory (78) for storing treadmill configuration, and operational and maintenance data.
