Rowing exercise device and method of using same
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.
Aquatic exercise device
An aquatic exercise device is disclosed, able to exert omnidirectional uniform water resistance while exercising, so that equal force is required to move it in any direction. The water resistance of the device according to the invention can be adjusted in a quick and measured way. This device can be operated with one hand and can be brought close to the body of exerciser.
Exercise apparatus
The present disclosure relates to an exercise apparatus. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus operated by hand which comprises a base upon which extend frame supports for the seat unit, resistance unit, crank unit, and guide unit. Embodiments provide for a crank to be mounted to the base and frame and wherein the crank is connected to first and second actuating rods via a coupling. The actuating rods are slidably connected at one end via a guide pivotally mounted to the frame and have a free end for a user to grip.
Systems and methods for dynamically lighting a fluid-resistance exercise machine
An illumination device for directing light into a transparent fluid tank of a fluid-resistance exercise machine is disclosed. The device can be coupled with an exterior surface of the tank and includes a light source oriented to project light through a surface and into a region of the fluid tank where the light can be observed by a user of the machine during operation, especially when a rotary device disturbs the fluid to generate the fluid resistance effect. The illumination device can include a control unit having a processor and a communication device, where the communication device receives an exercise-related parameter relayed during operation of the exercise machine. In response the control unit can dynamically adjust a quality of the light as a function of the received parameter, such as heartrate, output, resistance, time, distance, or speed.
Exercise Device
Exercise device, having at least one elongate track onto which a seat and a footrest are slidingly movably arranged, such that the seat and the footrest are mutually independently movable along the at least one track, a resistance element connected to a handle via a drive cord through which the resistance element can be driven upon pulling the handle towards the seat, and a cord guiding member arranged between the handle and the resistance element over which the drive cord passes, wherein the cord guiding member is arranged stationary with respect to the footrest, and wherein the resistance element is arranged stationary with respect to the at least one track.
Aquatic Exercise Device
An aqua-resistance exercise device includes an elongate member, a strap, fasteners, and one or more fins. The elongate member includes an engagement portion, a shaft extending from the engagement portion, and a handle to be gripped by a user. The fasteners are provided to the engagement portion of the elongate member and an inner side of the strap to releasably attach the strap to the engagement portion of the elongate member. The one or more fins are adapted to be received on the strap, and the fasteners releasably secure the strap to the engagement portion of the elongate member to thereby releasably secure the fins to the elongate member.
Resistance system for rowing machine
A resistance system for a rowing machine has a mounting bracket, a housing assembly, a paddle wheel, a driving assembly and a restoring assembly. The housing assembly is mounted on the mounting bracket and includes a liquid tank for storing liquid. The driving assembly is connected to the paddle wheel and drives the paddle wheel to rotate in a direction only. The restoring assembly is connected to a strip hub of the driving assembly and is able to drive the strip hub to rotate in a reverse direction. The resistance system for the rowing machine has simplified structure. Therefore, it is easy to assemble to the resistance system, and manufacturing cost of the resistance system can be decreased. In addition, a service life of the resistance system as well as the rowing machine can be increased.
Adjustable seat device for a swimming pool
The invention relates to an adjustable seat device (10) that includes: a linear support (38); at least one upper bearing means of the linear support configured to bear on a horizontal surface at the edge of a swimming pool and at least one lower bearing means of the linear support configured to bear on an inner wall of the swimming pool; a seat (28); an upper seat rod (36), having one end provided with a first seat slide (29) configured to slide along the linear support and a locking means (30) for locking the first slide in position on the linear support; a lower seat rod (37), having one end provided with a second seat slide (31) configured to slide along the linear support and a locking means (32) for locking the second slide in position on the linear support,
the two seat rods jointly supporting the seat and being connected to one another by a swivel link (35). The seat slides slide independently along the linear support, the joint sliding of the seat slides adjusting the height of the seat and the respective sliding of the seat slides adjusting at least the separation between the seat and the linear support.
Rowing simulator
Exercise device, having at least one elongate track onto which a seat and a footrest are slidingly movably arranged, such that the seat and the footrest are mutually independently movable along the at least one track, a resistance element connected to a handle via a drive cord through which the resistance element can be driven upon pulling the handle towards the seat, and a cord guiding member arranged between the handle and the resistance element over which the drive cord passes, wherein the cord guiding member is arranged stationary with respect to the footrest, and wherein the resistance element is arranged stationary with respect to the at least one track.
Parallel resistance rowing machine
A parallel resistance rowing machine is an apparatus that provides adjustable, independent resistance to a user to perform rowing exercises that isolate and emphasize various laterally opposed muscle groups. The parallel resistance rowing machine uses a first resistance assembly and a second resistance assembly mounted to an axle within a chassis. The first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly are selectably interconnected by a clutch mechanism, enabling a first handle and a second handle to be moved independently or in concert under resistance from the first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly, respectively. An elongate frame supports a slidable seat assembly, further supporting a full-body rowing action as the user exerts themselves against the first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly.
