Abstract
In a method and system for monitoring the posture of a user during the use of a training apparatus, sensors are attached to the body of the user and possibly to specific locations of the training apparatus for acquiring specific kinematic parameters. The measurement data acquired by these sensors is analyzed in an evaluating unit in order to detect a faulty motion or posture of the user during the use of the training apparatus and to emit a corresponding acknowledging message to the user or to the training apparatus in this case.
