A gaming system according to some aspects of the invention includes a processor, and a memory device storing a plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause a display, by a display device, of a first shape having a first location and a movable second shape having an initial location. The processor receives, player commands for dimensional change the second shapes, after which the second shape moves towards the first shape. The processor causes temporal dimensional changes of the first shape. At least one part of the second shape fits into at least one part of the first shape, at least in one temporary occurrence where the dimensions of the first shape and the second shape allow said fit. The processor checks whether the second shape reached the first shape and whether, if the second shape reached the first shape location, there exists a fit.

A protective rowing device for compression of the abdomen is provided that comprises a brace and U-shaped support member that may connect to a rowing machine seat and rail.

A novel rowing machine attachment includes a bracket for attaching to a roller assembly of a rowing machine and a receiver for attaching to a handle of a rowing machine. In a particular embodiment, the bracket fixably attaches to the roller assembly and the receiver releasably attaches to the bracket for selective use. In a more particular embodiment, the bracket and the receiver are both integral parts of a single rigid body structure.

A limbs cooperation exerciser and a control method for the same are provided. The limbs cooperation exerciser includes a frame, an upper limb exercise mechanism, a first driving module, a lower limb exercise mechanism, a second driving module, a first rotating speed sensor, a second rotating speed sensor, and a control module. The control module controls at least one of the first driving module and the second driving module according to the first rotating speed and the second rotating speed, making a differential value between the detected first rotating speed and the second rotating speed be smaller than or equal to a predetermined differential value. That is, the limbs cooperation exerciser controls the rotation of the first operating member or the second operating member to lower the difference between the rotating speeds of the first operating member and the second operating member.

A self-powered vibration mechanism is provided that can be mounted on an existing pedal shaft yet operates independent from the existing pedal. Mechanical isolation or mechanical decoupling permits transferring the vibrating energy to the foot rather than to the pedal shaft and the bicycle. In another embodiment, a full removable pedal with self-powered vibration mechanism can replace an existing pedal.

A walking assist device includes: a pair of right and left handles that are movable back and forth with respect to a frame in accordance with arm swing performed during walk of a user; rails on which the handles are provided and which limit movement of the handles in a movable range in accordance with arm swing performed during the walk of the user; a handle information acquisition unit that acquires information related to movement of the handles; and a control unit that controls a drive unit in accordance with the information from the handle information acquisition unit.

A rowing machine exercise device includes a vertically adjustable rear support base. The vertically adjustable rear support base includes an outer vertical support beam extending down from the rowing machine frame; an inner vertical support beam received in a telescoping manner within the outer support beam through the bottom of the outer support beam; a latch pin assembly mounted to the outer vertical support beam, where the latch pin assembly includes a latch pin biased to extend through the latch pin hole and any of the adjustment holes that are vertically aligned with the latch pin hole, and where the latch pin assembly includes an actuating tab that overcomes the bias to pull the latch pin from the vertically aligned adjustment hole when actuated; and a lift handle mounted to or part of the outer vertical support beam and/or the rowing machine frame.

A rowing exercise device comprises a support structure; a movable user support movably associated with the support structure for movement relative to the support structure; a movable foot support movably associated with the support structure for movement relative to the support structure; a handle; and a rowing assembly operatively associated with the handle and at least the movable foot support to cause at least the movable foot support to move relative to the support structure with movement of the handle so that both a user s body and one or both feet move relative to the support structure with movement of the handle.

The present invention concerns a support frame for a gymnastic apparatus, particularly for a cycling simulation device, comprising a base, and a first arm hinged with said base and a second arm hinged with said base, so that said first and second arm can assume a closed position and an open position, rotating with respect to said base, characterized in that said support frame comprises an articulation member articulated with said base and said first and second arm such that the rotation of one of said first or second arm relatively to said base causes a rotational translation of said articulation member and the rotation of the other arm with respect to said base, causing the passage from said closed position to said open position or vice versa.
