An exercise machine creates a simulated continuous resisted climbing motion. The machine includes a floor- or ground-contacting base frame and two or more substantially vertically oriented uprights, wherein at least one upright is rigidly connected to the base frame. The machine further includes two handles and two foot pedals, each handle and each foot pedal being movably engaged with an upright for linear reciprocating motion along the upright. The handles and foot pedals are interconnected so that they move concurrently. An adjustable resistance mechanism may be operatively connected to the interconnection of the handles and foot pedals to provide adjustable resistance for the simulated continuous climbing motion.

The present invention refers to a rock climbing machine provided with elastic cords, comprising a bracket, a left grab rail, and a right grab rail, wherein the bracket comprises a front bracket, a rear bracket, and a guide bracket; the guide bracket is connected to an upper end of the front bracket. The rear bracket is connected to the guide bracket or the front bracket; which is provided by two parallel rails; one left and one right. The equipment also includes a left sliding member connected to the left guide rail, and to a left pedal; a traction rope is connected across the front pulley; one end of the traction rope is connected to the left sliding member, and the other end of the traction rope is connected to the right sliding member; a left elastic cord, that pass between, two left first guide wheels; one end of the left elastic cord is connected to the left grab rail, and the other end of the left elastic drag is connected to the bracket and; the right elastic cord passes through between the two right first guide wheels; and one end of the right elastic cord is connected to the right grab rail, and the other end of the right elastic cord is connected to the bracket. The equipment of the present invention can vary the magnitude of the force to be applied to the pedal, by changing the amount of stretch of the elastic cord, in order to adjust the intensity of the exercise.

A sports training device includes a stand, pivot axis, elements for a person training to apply force, and load device for creating an adjustable load. The load device includes weights and a U-shaped guide acting to protect against unauthorized removal of the weights, one end of which guide is connected via a bracket to the pivot axis, which is secured to the stand. The pivot plane of the load device is directed perpendicular or parallel or at an angle to a support surface. The center of mass of the load device is shifted, in the presence of even a minimal load, left or right from the pivot axis or coincides with the pivot axis. The elements for a person training to apply force are installed, relative to the load device, at a given height from the support surface in accordance with the direction of force from the person training and in accordance with the group of muscles receiving the load.

An exercise device of the type including a frame with a first crank assembly rotatably coupled to the frame about a first axis and a second crank assembly rotatably coupled to the frame about a second axis. A control system may be used in communication with the first crank assembly and the second crank assembly, which may provide a synchronous movement of the first crank assembly relative to the second crank assembly. A pedal arm may be provided with a first end pivotally coupled to the first crank assembly and a pedal positioned on a second end. A crank link may be used with one end coupled to the second crank assembly and a second end coupled to the pedal arm. The crank link may be movable on the pedal arm which may provide varying paths of motion of the pedals.

A rowing machine is disclosed. The rowing machine includes a frame including a base for contact with a support surface and a seat rail supported by the base. The rowing machine includes a seat configured to reciprocate back and forth along the seat rail. The rowing machine includes a rowing engine that includes at least one resistance mechanism rotatably coupled to the frame. The rowing machine includes at least one handle operatively connected to the at least one resistance mechanism, and a paddle linkage assembly operatively connecting the at least one handle to the at least one resistance mechanism such that rearward movement of the handle is resisted by the at least one resistance mechanism.

Described herein are various embodiments of differential air pressure systems and methods of using such systems. The differential air pressure system may comprise a chamber configured to receive a portion of a user's lower body and to create an air pressure differential upon the user's body. The differential air pressure system may further comprise a user seal that seal the pressure chamber to the user's body. The height of the user seal may be adjusted to accommodate users with various body heights.
