PRESSURE-SENSITIVE EXERCISE MAT

The pressure-sensitive exercise mat (100) comprises a first mat layer (210) made of a rubber-based material; an elastic hot-melt glue layer (220) on one side of the first mat layer (210); a first conductor layer (230) arranged on the hot-melt glue layer (220) and formed of a plurality of metal wires, each wire extending in a first direction; a first electrode layer (240) arranged over said first conductive layer (230) and formed of a plurality of separate first metal plates that are arranged according to a predetermined pattern, each first metal plate being electrically connected to a wire of said first conductor layer (230) and also partly attached to said hot-melt glue layer (220); a pressure-sensitive layer (250) formed of a plurality of separate pressure-gauge foil pieces, wherein each foil piece is arranged over one of a first metal plate of said first electrode layer (240) and is also partly attached to said hot-melt glue layer (220); a second conductor layer (260) arranged over the pressure-sensitive layer (250) and formed of a plurality of metal wires, each wire extending in a second direction different from said first direction and being in contact with an associated pressure-gauge foil piece of the pressure-sensitive layer (250), said second conductor layer (260) also being partly attached to said hot-melt glue layer (220); a second electrode layer (270) arranged over the second conductor layer (260) and formed of a plurality of separate second metal plates that are arranged according to said predetermined pattern in alignment with said first metal plates of the first electrode layer (240), each second metal plate being electrically connected to a wire of said second conductor layer (260) and also being partly attached to said hot-melt glue layer (220); a second mat layer (280) made of a rubber-based material, said second mat layer being arranged over said second electrode layer (270) and partly attached to said hot-melt glue layer (220); a case arranged adjacent to one end of the mat (100) and adapted for holding at least a battery, a signal processing unit and a communication interface, said case being attached to and partly surrounding the outer sides of the first and second mat layers (210, 280).
