A portable and kinetic motion resistance upper body invention that can be used for a variety of exercises. This invention combines dial tension adjustment clutch sheaves, a variable linear tract bearing and a one piece resistance shock-cord, together these core components achieve a unique minimal impact work-out. The multi-motion and changeable adjustments for this invention, result in a wide variety of muscular stimulation and therapeutic exercises that are non-existent in the fitness and health industry. The outcome of the mechanism can be customized for a particular sport requirement or physio and other therapeutic restorations, or even for case specific industrial and robotic counter-balancing controls. This invention is can also be used as a lift-assist device.

A system and method for determining a patient force during a motion includes a tether adapted to be biased during a motion so that a tension force is applied. The tether is connected a motor and generates a tether force about the motor. The system controls the motor by generating a motor torque in a direction opposite the tether force. A recording module stores the motor torque at a plurality of intervals during the motion and a position of the tether. A display module generates a plot of a position of the patient versus a force generated by the patient. The position of the patient corresponds to the cumulative rotation of the shaft in the first direction about the axis of rotation of the shaft at each of the intervals. The force generated by the patient corresponds to the amount of motor torque at each of the intervals.

Disclosed herein is exercise equipment for strengthening the pelvis, by which the exercise effect of enabling the pelvis, the genitourinary sphincter inside the pelvic cavity, etc. to be strongly contacted and relaxed may be obtained during the exercise of collecting and spreading the knees. The exercise equipment includes: grip parts (110); cylindrical insertion/separation pipes (120); cylindrical support pipes (130); packing parts (140); cylindrical cushion parts (150); side fastening U-shaped plates (160); fastening plate supports (170); a side support connection bar (180); and fastening belts (200). Rotating grips (190) are attached to the bottoms of coupling bolts (B), respectively, by which the side support connection bar (180) connects and fastens the side fastening U-shaped plate supports (170), and the side support connection bar (180) is fastened to the bottom of the cushion part of a chair by using the two fastening belts (200) and coupling bolts (B).

The present invention relates to a neck muscle exercise device includes: a main body part; a chair part provided at the main body part, having a seat part for supporting the buttocks of a user such that the user sits thereon, and formed such that the height of the seat part can be adjusted by an electric cylinder; and push exercise parts provided at the main body part so as to be arranged at the upper part of the chair part, and applying resistance to a motion, in which the user sitting on the chair part pushes the head thereof in at least one direction, so as to strengthen the neck muscle of the user.

An exercise apparatus having a pulley, a pair of stabilizing assemblies each configured to couple a front portion of a respective pedal element to each side of the pulley, a looped belt configured to couple the pulley to a resistance assembly, a tension stabilizer configured to maintain a tension of the looped belt on the pulley, and the resistance assembly configured to assert an adjustable resistance to the pedal elements through the looped belt. The exercise apparatus also comprises a transport mechanism with a handle for transporting the exercise apparatus.

A body-building device including a base body, a swing mechanism and a supporter is provided. The base body is used to support the whole body-building device. The swing mechanism is installed on the base body to enable 360-degree rotation in the circumferential direction or swing to any angle off the central axis of the base body. The supporter is installed at an upper end of the swing mechanism and makes direct contact with human body. With force applied by human body, it drives the swing mechanism to rotate or swing, while the swing mechanism generates a corresponding reset force during swing, thus enabling body building. Fitness methods are also provided.

Improvements in an exercise cycle is disclosed. The cycle is adaptable to an office chair with a hook feature that allows for easy engaging and disengaging of an office chair floor leg, support or caster. The extending hook allows for users of different heights to make use of the chair hook without requiring a user to change hooks to accommodate different heights of a user and office chair casters. The pedals are connected through a common axis and connect to a loading mechanism. There can be a flywheel and a transmission that alters the turning rate of the flywheel and/or the loading mechanism. The size and shape of the resistance loading housing is configured to fit under a common office desk. The user's weight, is transferred to the plate through the office chair caster to improve the stability of the desk bike.

A chair exercise device is an apparatus used enabling a user to perform resistance exercises using a chair, especially an office chair. The apparatus is also configured to collapse easily to facilitate transportation. The apparatus includes an anchoring strap, at least one securing strap, and at least one resistance band. The anchoring strap relates to a flexible connector which enables the user to join the apparatus to a leg or support of a chair. The chosen chair leg becomes the primary support against which the user pulls during exercise. The at least one securing strap is a unit utilized to connect the apparatus to the user's leg, wrist, hand, or other area before exercise. The at least one resistance band relates to a flexible elastic band, tube, or otherwise shaped mechanism capable of holding and transmitting cyclical tensile spring forces from the chosen chair leg to the user during exercise.

An exercise device comprising a base frame comprising one or more belt members, a front axle configured to interface with one of the belt members, a rear axle configured to interface with one of the belt members and a port disposed on an underside of the base.

A resistance training system. The training system includes a tackle providing mechanical advantage, and a user performs strength training exercises by pulling or pushing on the running block while resisting motion of the running block by pulling or pushing on the free end of the runner.
