Exercise system and method
A deck for a treadmill includes a continuous track, and a plurality of slats connected to the track. The track and the plurality of slats at least partly define an inner space of the deck, and are rotatable about the inner space. The deck also includes a first motor configured to modify a speed of rotation of the track, and a second motor configured to modify a position of the deck relative to a support surface on which the deck is supported. The first motor and the second motor are disposed within the inner space.
SPORTS EXERCISE AREA WITH IMPACT ATTENUATING SYSTEM AND IMPACT ATTENUATING SYSTEM
A sports exercise area comprising a landing area comprising an impact attenuating system for attenuating impact when landing on the landing area is provided. An impact attenuating system (1; 2) is provided for attenuating impact onto a landing area, for example when exercising freestyle sports, gymnastics or athletics. The impact attenuating system (1) comprises a first inflatable structure (14). The first inflatable structure (14) comprises a first sheet (101) and a sheet (102). A first side (111) of the first sheet is in contact with and connected to a first side (112) of the second sheet along a first plurality of parallel first connection lines (103-1, 103-2, 103-2) to form a first plurality (104) of parallel first air chambers (104-1, 104-2, 104-3). The first plurality of parallel first air chambers is inflatable to form a first plurality of parallel first tubular airbags arranged side-by-side in a first plane substantially parallel to the top surface of the landing area. A top layer (110) may be provided. A second inflatable structure (24) may be provided on top of the first inflatable structure (14).
Portable parallettes
A parallettes apparatus is portable and configured to allow an athlete to exercise even when remote from a traditional gymnastics training facility. The portable parallettes apparatus includes a pair of base members and a bar member removably extending between respective base members. The pair of base members are hollow and configured to receive the bar during transport or storage.

DEVICES FOR ASSISTING LIMB MOVEMENT
A limb assistance device for assisting in the movement of a lower limb of a user. The limb assistance devices can attach to or be integrated with a stability aid (e.g., a walker or parallel bars). The devices may comprise an adaptor bracket configured to attach to the stability aid, an elastic cord coupled to the adaptor bracket, and an adjustment component attached to the elastic cord. Moving the stability aid (e.g., the walker) may cause the attachment component to pull the shoe of the user along with the stability aid.

OUTDOORS TRAINING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DESIGNING, MONITORING AND PROVIDING FEEDBACK OF TRAINING
Outdoors training system and methods for designing monitoring and providing feedback of training. The system comprising a computing device, I/O subsystem for permitting a user to enter at least one attribute of the training or of the trainee, a plurality of sensors for generating sensory information, an outdoors training environment in which a training activity takes place, a database containing training related information. The outdoors training system configured for at least one of the following: design a training program for a plurality of users, monitor training program performance, monitor training performance, instruct a user about the training, determine and/or set difficulty level in training apparatus.
Intelligent electronic footwear and control logic for automated pedestrian collision avoidance
Presented are intelligent electronic footwear with controller automated features, methods for making/using such footwear, and control systems for executing automated features of intelligent electronic footwear. An intelligent electronic shoe includes an upper that attaches to a user's foot, and a sole structure attached to the upper for supporting thereon the user's foot. A collision threat warning system, a detection tag, a wireless communications device, and a footwear controller are all mounted to the sole structure/upper. The detection tag receives a prompt signal from a transmitter-detector module and responsively transmits thereto a response signal. The footwear controller receives, through the wireless communications device, a pedestrian collision warning signal generated by the remote computing node responsive to the response signal. Responsively, the footwear controller transmits a command signal to the collision threat warning system to generate a visible, audible and/or tactile alert warning the user of an impending collision with a vehicle.
Device with reciprocating upper extremity support assemblies
An upper body support assembly for use with an associated railed device having first and second rails is disclosed. The assembly includes first and second upper body supports capable of moving along the first and second rails, respectively. The upper body supports have at least one of: (i) first and second forearm supports, (ii) first and second hand grips, or (iii) a first forearm support and a first hand grip. An interconnecting member extends between and selectively connects both the first and second upper body supports to permit (i) interrelated movement therebetween when connected, and (ii) independent movement therebetween when disconnected. The assembly can achieve two point gait, three point gait, and four point gait movement.
Collapsible and transportable parallel bars for physical therapy
A portable parallel walking bar assembly is provided which is intended for use in a variety of settings due to the uniquely designed ability to rapidly assemble, disassemble, transport and store the apparatus when not in use. This particular design is made of five lightweight individual parts which may be assembled to form a stable support structure. Two of the segments are each of the parallel bars which in this design are collapsible in length and allow for variation in length. The bars extend to a length of 8.5 feet and collapse to a length of only 4 feet. The remaining three parts of the system are the support stanchions which the horizontal bars attach to for stabilization and their useful intended height of 24 to 40 inches. Each support stanchion consists of a flat cross-member, with beveled edge, which spans the width of the assembled system and provides the base of support. On both ends of each cross-member, a vertical support extends up and is adjustable in height. The vertical supports each connect to the horizontal rails in such a way that the assembled system is stable and secure for rehabilitation purposes, specifically for persons with physical disability to apply force through the rails to support their body weight as needed while walking.
