Running type health promoting device

Claim 1

A running type health promoting device comprising: (a) a running vehicle comprising a frame, at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel which are supported to said frame, a handle bar, a saddle, a pedalling device, and a transmitting device for transmitting the pedalling operation of said pedalling device to said rear wheel, (b) a microprocessing unit supported to said frame of the vehicle and having a processing circuit which sets a period of time for training and a proper number of pulses of a driver during the period of time for training corresponding to a proper quantity of bodily exercise, said microprocessing unit setting said period of time and proper number of pulses in response to an input means which provides personal information concerning said driver, and target information concerning a desired type of training which are input thereto, (c) a pulse detector which is electrically connected with an input of said microprocessing unit, for detecting the pulse of a driver who drives said vehicle, and feeds a detection signal of the detected driver pulse into said microprocessing unit, said microprocessing unit comparing a detected driver pulse with said proper number of pulses and setting a proper number of revolutions of the pedals required to achieve said proper quantity of bodily exercise during said time period, (d) a measuring instrument electrically connected with the input of said microprocessing unit so as to measure the training time period and feed a timing signal therefor into said microprocessing unit, said microprocessing providing an output when said set training period of time has elapsed, (e) an indicator electrically connected with the output of said microprocessing unit so as to indicate said proper number of revolutions of said pedals for matching the proper number of pulses set by said microprocessing unit and also indicating completion of said training when the driver completes training under the set number of pulses during the set time period, and (f) a source of electric energy electrically connected to operate said microprocessing unit, pulse detector, measuring instrument and indicator at least while said vehicle is being driven.
