ABSTRACT:
A monitor for measuring a biomedical response such as heartbeat rate, and an apparatus for using the monitor to control exercise equipment. The monitor includes a transmitting unit and a receiving unit which can be located in the exercise equipment. The heart rate is determined and a first signal that can be used to determine heart rate (or is related to heart rate) is produced. An encoded digital signal identifying the transmitting unit is also produced. These signals are wirelessly sent to the receiving unit which determines if the signals are from the transmitting unit. Only if that is so is the first signal used to determine heart rate. If there are too many errors in the measured heart rate a new frequency of wireless transmission is used. If the errors are within a reasonable bound, the heart rate is sent to a memory and/or display. The receiving unit provides a signal to a parameter control means in the exercise equipment which automatically regulates the resistance offered to the user in accordance with the measured heart rate of the user, to provide a proper workout. Memory provides exercise profiles unique to the user. An identification unit allows each user to identify himself/herself to the equipment to access the proper stored exercise profile for that person.
