隨著現代智慧健身的快速發展, people’s work and life are getting busier and more stressful, and their spare time is being squeezed by capitalists. People are eager to use the least time to obtain the greatest fitness effect in this social situation. The era of Internet of Things technology has realized the possibility of short-term, low-frequency, and high-efficiency fitness effects.
1. What is Smart fitness
The concept of the Internet of Things began to rise in the past few years, and now it has been widely used in the home and home appliance circles. It is expected to change people’s living habits while creating a “lazy” life, and make “technology changes life” a reality. But the truth is, the Internet of Things is not only applied in home life but also to an industry that is quietly using it to change people’s consumption habits, 那是, the fitness industry.
2. What Does Smart fitness Do?
01. How the IoT combines with the fitness industry
The first is to build an intelligent management system. Intelligent access control systems are now widely used in major gyms, achieving automation and reducing labor costs. 第二, the installation of intelligent air conditioning management system intelligence can automatically adjust the temperature that is most suitable for users to exercise, which improves customer satisfaction and avoid manual adjustment. 另外, the intelligent lighting control system in the gym can better distribute lights and improve users’ comfort.
02. What is theInternet of Things device
物聯網智慧健身系統實現腕帶進入門禁等實用功能, 打開更衣室的置物櫃, 使用腕帶打開跑步機, 並使用App了解運動數據, 安排課程, 並購買會員卡。這些智慧化升級不僅讓用戶受益,也讓企業受益. 對於用戶, 他們可以在運動期間獲得更好的體驗和更舒適的體驗; 對於企業, 它降低了營運成本並賺取更多利潤.
智慧型系統的日益普及和成本的降低,讓健身產業實現智慧化成為可能.
3. How about the Smart fitness market
物聯網的優點是可以收集數據並支援數據交換, which can be used for the collection and monitoring of important data in the fitness industry, such as heart rate, body fat rate, 重量, and other electronic health data.
Since modern consumers lack passion and motivation for many things due to the pressure of life, gyms need innovative fitness tools to achieve their fitness goals. This is why the demand for exercise solutions has increased.
據考證, 經過 2027, the consumption of intelligent systems used in the medical and fitness industries is expected to reach more than 300 十億美元. 早在 2021, the user spending on wearable devices such as intelligent watches, intelligent handles, and so on has reached more than $80 十億.
另外, technologies such as AR/VR are also applied to intelligent health devices.
4. The Internet of Things technologies used in Smart fitness
The intelligent fitness system includes intelligentIoT integrating software 和 硬體, such as intelligent front desk all-in-one, intelligent access control, intelligent locker central control, intelligent turnstiles, 人臉辨識, equipment, physical measurement solutions, and intelligent heart rate solutions.
At the application level, in addition, to be applied to basic equipment such as air conditioners, 燈光, and access control to enhance the user’s fitness experience, intelligent systems will also use their ability of data collection and exchange to convert these data into visual insights, assisting the gym to enter the era of intelligence and digitization.
一般來說, the gym thoroughly analyzes the health data generated by the members during exercise, tracks the member’s behavior, so as to understand the member more comprehensively, customizes the fitness plan for the member, and recommends the fitness goal that is more suitable for the member to quickly achieve the fitness effect. By integrating transaction data and IoT data, we can quickly create targeted and precise marketing plans.
5. What are the IoT fitness equipment
Smart fitness equipment includes an intelligent treadmill, intelligent rowing, VR multi-scene training system, ETC. The gym can provide members with a more immersive experience, make fitness more cool and interesting, and greatly improve the experience of members.
