By using the climbing machine, a user can experience a vivid feeling of climbing upwards, thereby improving the climbing experience.

A walking training system includes a treadmill, a center-of-gravity position detection unit that detects a center-of-gravity position of a trainee from a load received from a sole of the trainee on a belt of the treadmill, a posture detection unit that detects a posture of the trainee, a center-of-gravity position estimation unit that estimates the center-of-gravity position of the trainee from the detected posture of the trainee, a determination unit that determines whether a difference between the detected center-of-gravity position and the estimated center-of-gravity position exceeds a predetermined value, and a notification unit that sends, when the determination unit determines that the difference exceeds the predetermined value, a notification notifying that whether the difference exceeds the predetermined value.

An intelligent system that automatically adjusting optimal rehabilitation intensity or exercise volume with personalized exercise prescription, comprising: upload the physiological information data measured by registered members to a cloud data integration server through the Internet; an expert diagnostic unit, which can download and use the member's physiological information data from the cloud data integration server. After the diagnosis, a personalized exercise prescription is issued and uploaded to the cloud data integration server; a rehabilitation fitness equipment unit can download the exercise prescription from the cloud data integration server to control and automatically adjust the optimal rehabilitation intensity or exercise volume; after being diagnosed by experts such as doctors, rehabilitators or fitness coaches, the optimal parameter values of a continuously updated artificial intelligence exercise prescription can be used to improve the efficacy of personal rehabilitation or exercise fitness.

Sensor data is collected from a sensor monitoring a tension generating device of an exercise machine. The sensor data is analyzed to determine whether the sensor data is within a specification. In the event the sensor data is not within the specification, an error stop mode is entered for the tension generating device.

A weight training sled having (i) a chassis, (ii) longitudinally spaced rotatable wheels in contact with ground, (iii) a pair of laterally spaced push handles proximate a first longitudinal end of the chassis and (iv) a brake for applying resistance to one of the wheels, characterized by an elevated tow hook.

An exercise machine support system for providing increased versatility including inclination or declination of an exercise surface, a reduction in the overall length and width of the exercise machine, and an enhanced user interface which reduces the risk of injury. The exercise machine support system generally includes a cantilevered exercise machine which is adapted to have a variable angle of incline or decline with respect to a horizontal ground surface. The exercise machine will generally include a base and a support which extends between the base and the exercise machine. The upper end of the support is connected to the exercise machine by a first pivot such that the exercise machine pivots about the support. An adjustment device may be utilized to pivot the exercise machine and thus adjust its angle of incline. Various types of adjustment devices are disclosed, including an actuator, ratchet-and-pawl, gears, and cam.

A request is received for a higher torque from a torque controller than is possible from a power supply. The torque controller is coupled to a motor and the power supply, and the motor is coupled to an actuator. The actuator ultimately establishes resistance for a user in an exercise. An energy storage device is discharged to the motor in order to generate the higher torque, wherein the energy storage device is indirectly coupled to the torque controller.

An exercise device comprising a metallic box, two motors mounted at left and right sides of the box, a mirror touch screen, a camera, a loudspeaker, two motors mounted at the left and right bottom of the box, movable arms at slide tracks at both sides, a voltage transformer for the mirror touch screen, and four drive boards for four motors. All these four motors connect with gear reducers. Four carriages ride on both sides of slide tracks. The upper left and right two carriages provide support for upper limbs exercise. The lower left and right two carriages provide support for lower limbs exercise.

A method of varying a dynamic resistive force during a strength training exercise includes receiving a selection of the strength training exercise from a set of available strength training exercises and obtaining exercise logic for the strength training exercise from computer memory. The exercise logic provides instructions for generating a vector that defines the dynamic resistive force provided at an end effector of a strength training apparatus during the strength training exercise. The method includes determining a real-time geometric arrangement of a plurality of cables coupled to the end effector, generating, based on the real-time geometric arrangement of the plurality of cables and the exercise logic, time-varying operating setpoints for a plurality of actuator assemblies coupled to the plurality of cables, and exerting the dynamic resistive force at the end effector by controlling the plurality of actuator assemblies in accordance with the time-varying operating setpoints.
