| abstract |
An exercise device (100), comprising a rigid rod (110), a base (120), at least one load sensor (130) inside the base or the rigid rod, the at least one load sensor for detecting a longitudinal force applied to the exercise device, and a processor (140) coupled to the at least one load sensor, the processor for executing one or more machine-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to obtain, from the at least one load sensor or from an intervening component (132, 134), a signal indicating a magnitude of the longitudinal force applied to the exercise device, and provide, to a display device (150, 152), information about the longitudinal force applied to the exercise device. |
