Abstract
A system for managing exercise of an animal such as a human being so that the animal can be trained to move with an appropriate scale and rhythm while harmonizing the motion of the animal with the operations of two devices which induce the motion of the animal in different manners, is provided. According to the exercise management system () of the present invention, the speed of the walking motion of the user is adjusted by an operation of a treadmill (first motion induction device) (). The user's walking motion is induced with the motion scale being adjusted with a rhythm harmonized with the motion rhythm of the animal by an operation of a walking motion induction device (second motion induction device) (). At this time, the operation of the walking motion induction device () is controlled based on the walking speed v (walking rate p, as required). Accordingly, it is possible to train the user so that the user walks with an appropriate scale and rhythm, while realizing harmonization between the walking motion of the user, the operation of the treadmill (), and the operation of the walking motion induction device ().
