Implementation of Internet of Public Fitness Equipment for Health Physical Fitness Improvement

Abstract

In this paper, an IoT architecture for public fitness equipment, internet of public fitness equipment, with software and hardware is proposed and implemented. We utilize reed switch and MCU with WiFi module to implement IoT hardware on public fitness equipment. Furthermore, we also implement web service, database and user interface which provide thorough individual exercise prescription and monitor service. From the experimental results, all the participants' physical fitness does improve significantly. It shows that our internet of public fitness equipment can significantly improve body health by providing an efficient exercise way.

An Empirical Study of the Factors Influencing User Behavior of Fitness Software in College Students Based on UTAUT

“…For example, Silke Neuman et al [18] used interactive Exergame software to test activity-centered exercise training related to the daily tasks of older people in Switzerland, Spain and Germany over a period of three months with an average age of 70 years and showed improvements in physical function, daily activity performance and quality of life. CHING-TING HSU et al [19] proposed and implemented a public fitness equipment IoT architecture, i.e., the interconnection of public fitness equipment hardware and software, providing users with exercise prescriptions on IoT devices using microprocessors and WiFi modules, and experimental results demonstrated significant improvements in physical fitness for all participants.…”
