“…For evaluating the effects of the dual adaptive strategy for adjusting exercise intensity levels, an adaptive exercising system (i.e., EverGreen) has been used in this study by using Microsoft Kinect to provide the capability of sensing the elders' real-time movements. The EverGreen system was developed in previous studies (Sheu, Lee, Hsu, & Chen, 2015;Sheu, Lee, Yang, & Chen, 2015). Related operational logics and user interface of the EverGreen system was designed for elders to exercise in a safe, convenient, and enjoyable manner.…”

Training efficiency is important for functional fitness training because it assures the trainees receive appropriate training to meet their needs of skill formation. With the support of technologies, the functional fitness training process can be adapted to suit each elder's physical conditions. This study proposes a dual adaptive strategy for adjusting exercise intensity levels based on the objective assessments and subjective feedback to balance body and mind conditions. An adaptive exercising system was also developed by using gesture recognition and perceived exertion to adjust exercise intensity levels and help the elders receive more appropriate training. The results show that the dual adaptive strategy proven to be able to provide better balance (body and mind) and improve training efficiency for elders' functional fitness training at their own paces while gaining a satisfied training experience.
