Abstract
In this study, a performance evaluation was carried out to develop a new add-on device with an algorithm for automatically measuring the exercise weight and repetitions when using an existing fitness machine. The developed device was designed to be simply attached to an exercise machine to measure the exercise weight and repetitions. The measured data are transferred to a smartphone using Bluetooth. As result, it is possible to detect the weights and repetitions from three users with different exercise habits with little error. The system can measure the user's motion and transfer the data to various devices capable of utilizing the workout data, giving it the advantage of being applicable to personalized health care and rehabilitation therapy.
