  • a plurality of muscle electrical stimulation devices are attached to each of fitness wear 502 for a plurality of users.
  • Each of the plurality of muscle electrical stimulation devices communicates with the exercise control device 503 by short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) to transmit and receive information.
  • An exercise control program instructed to start execution through communication with the exercise control device 503 controls voltage setting and operation in each of a plurality of muscle electrical stimulation devices of a plurality of users.
  • the motion control device 503 transmits and receives information to and from the display control device 504 through a local area network via the network cable 508.
  • the display control device 504 is a computer that displays a motion image on the display device 506 in accordance with an instruction of a motion control program executed by the motion control device 503.
  • the exercise control device 503 is an information terminal operated by a fitness gym trainer or user.
  • the exercise control device 503 controls intensity setting and operation for each user and for each muscle electrical stimulation device. Since the exercise control device 503 functions as a hub of a plurality of muscle electrical stimulation devices for a plurality of users, the trainer or user operates the motion control device 503 rather than setting and operating the plurality of muscle electrical stimulation devices individually. Therefore, it is more efficient to collectively control a plurality of muscle electrical stimulation devices. Further, the operations for a plurality of users can be synchronized and controlled by the same program all at once.
  • the exercise control device 503 causes the display device 506 to display an explanation of the exercise program and an image serving as an example of movement in synchronization with the control of a plurality of muscle electrical stimulation devices.
  • the motion image is not displayed at the timing completely synchronized with the control pulse of the muscle electrical stimulation device, but at the timing delayed by a predetermined period.
  • An image may be displayed.
  • the display control device 504 may incorporate a camera that can capture a user's movement, captures a video of a user who is performing an exercise in accordance with an exercise program, and a skeleton based on an analysis of the video or the user's motion.
  • An image that reproduces the movement may be displayed on the display device 506.
  • the motion control device 503 includes an ultrasonic probe 50 and can measure the thickness of fat and muscle such as a user's abdomen.
  • the ultrasonic probe 50 according to the present embodiment is a linear type that can increase the visual field width, but may be an ultrasonic probe having another shape such as a convex type, a sector type, or a single type.
  • the ultrasonic probe 50 transmits an ultrasonic wave of about 2.5 MHz to 12 MHz.
  • the fitness wear 502 is provided with an ultrasonic probe opening 517 for applying the ultrasonic probe to the user's body.
  • the user can measure the thickness of fat and muscle while wearing the fitness wear 502 by pressing an acoustic lens (not shown) of the ultrasonic probe 50 against the body through the opening.
  • the ultrasonic probe 50 may be pressed by hand.
  • the ultrasonic probe 50 may be detachably fixed to the fitness wear 502 by a fixing means such as a snap fit so that the ultrasonic probe 50 does not come out of the ultrasonic probe opening 517.
  • a mechanism for making the contact pressure on the user's body constant may be used in order to make the appearance of the tomographic image constant.
  • the ultrasonic probe 50 is connected to the motion control device 503 by wire, but may be connected wirelessly. In this case, the user can use it without being troubled by wiring, and measurement during operation is easy. Further, the measurement can be performed even if a thin cloth or the like is sandwiched between the ultrasonic probe 50 and the user's body.
  • a tomographic image based on the output from the ultrasonic probe may be displayed on an operation screen provided in the display device 506 or the motion control device 503.
  • the current tomographic image and the past tomographic image may be displayed side by side.
  • the present invention can be used for training tools and training systems.
