Abstract
An electronic system and method configured for use with an Pilates exercise equipment, such as Pilates equipment, having a surface supporting the exerciser during an exercise. The system includes a pressure sensitive matrix configured for fitting to the surface of the equipment, to measure pressures exerted by the exerciser on an area of the surface and provide electrical signals indicative of measured pressure values. A multiplexer/scanner is responsive to the electrical signals for collecting the measured pressure values. A processor responsive to the multiplexer output data signals interprets the data, resolves the data into discrete pressure values, assign a color value to each increment of pressure, and arrange the resolved data to a data format conforming to the position of each discrete pressure point on the area of the equipment. A display screen displays graphical images of the pressure values for the exerciser to view during exercise on the equipment.
