Exercise device providing automatic braking
An exercise device comprises a flywheel, a driving assembly, and a control assembly. The driving assembly drives the flywheel to rotate. The control assembly comprises an angle sensor for measuring the change of angular displacement of the flywheel during a specific period of time. The control assembly calculates the angular velocity or the angular acceleration of the flywheel by the measured angular displacement during the specific period of time. The control assembly determines if the flywheel is to be stopped according to at least a criterion.
Process to aid in motivation of personal fitness, health monitoring and validation of user
A system for displaying a motivational image of a user on an electronic device that includes at least a camera and a display. The system includes an adjustable mount for the electronic device that is adapted to orient the camera and display of the electronic device towards the user. The electronic device, upon detection of movement by the camera, is adapted to display the motivational image, such as a thinner representation of the user, on the display in accordance to the speed or duration of the detection of the movement of the user. The electronic device may be adapted to further receive an input from the user in order to calculate the amount of exercise required for the user to achieve the desired weight. Further, the system is able to validate the user's identity and exercise achieved as well as providing health screenings using biometric testing.
User interface on console for exercise machine
A console for an exercise machine has a console housing providing a user interface for controlling the exercise machine and a media rack removably attached to the console housing and having a shelf sized to support a media item. At least one touch input element is on the media rack and is operable to control an auxiliary device on the exercise machine.
Exercise Bicycle with a Desk Plate
The present disclosure discloses an exercise bicycle with a desk plate, which comprises a frame, a supporting foot, a seat and a desk plate, the frame including a first upright column to support the desk plate and a second upright column to support the seat, wherein a first lifting assembly is provided on the first upright column to connect the desk plate and the first upright column, and enables the adjustment of the upper and lower positions of the desk plate relative to the first upright column. The height of the desk plate can be adjusted by the first lifting assembly to accommodate users with different figures. It's more ergonomic since the height of the upright column supporting the desk plate can be adjusted. When packing, lower the upright column to the minimum can largely reduce the size of the package.
REAR HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY FOR A STATIONARY BIKE
A rear handlebar assembly in combination with a seat and a supporting member of a stationary bike, includes a seat of a stationary bike for supporting a rider thereon. A supporting member supports the seat of the stationary bike. A joining member includes a vertical bore and a horizontal bore, the vertical bore receiving therein the supporting member, the horizontal bore receiving therein a shaft coupled to flanges of the seat. A clasp holds the joining member against the supporting member. A crossbar forms a rear handlebar adapted to support the hands of a rider in an upright riding position. A rearwardly extending member connects the joining member to the crossbar. A pair of hand grips can be positioned on the crossbar.
Gait Pattern Training Device
A gait trainer adapted for use with a treadmill and, optionally, a spinning cycle, provides greater accessibility for therapeutic and rehabilitative gait pattern training to individuals confronting injury, illness, or disability. The gait trainer is adjustable, to accommodate a wide variety of users with different stride lengths and needs.
EXERCISE MACHINE HAVING CHANGEABLE DAMPING MECHANISM
An exercise machine having a changeable damping mechanism is provided. A first transmission rope on a first shifting wheel of a first rotating shaft drives a damping device of a damping shaft to generate a relative damping action for training the leg muscular endurance of the user. Through a first changeable damping mechanism, the first transmission rope, which having stretch elasticity on the first shifting wheel is controlled to adjust the rotational speed according to the gear ratio, which may be in cooperation with a second transmission rope, which having stretch elasticity on a second shifting wheel through a second changeable damping mechanism, and is in cooperation with the damping action of a magnetic control wheel or a blower fan of the damping device to extend the range of damping control for different users to train muscular endurance.
Method and System for Using Artificial Intelligence to Independently Adjust Resistance of Pedals Based on Leg Strength
A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.
INDOOR CYCLE MACHINE PROVIDING USER WITH VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE AND EXERCISE WITHOUT STRAINING KNEE
Disclosed is an indoor cycle machine providing a user with virtual experience and exercise without straining knees, the indoor cycle machine comprising: a main body rotatably coupled onto a floor portion; a vertical support having one end coupled to the floor portion and an opposite end formed with a vertical through-hole; and a saddle support having one end coupled to an upper end of the main body and an opposite end formed with a saddle, in which the saddle support passes through the vertical through-hole such that the saddle support is rotatable inside the vertical through-hole, wherein the main body is rotated on the floor portion whenever the user steps on a pedal formed on the main body.
INDOOR BICYCLE STEERING STEM
A replacement bicycle stem is disclosed herein. In particular, prior to operation of a bicycle in a stationary environment, the bicycle stem, if present, is removed and replaced with the replacement bicycle stem disclosed herein. The replacement bicycle stem is intended to rotate or turn with the handlebars, but independent of the steer tube and front wheel. More specifically, the replacement stem includes a main body with a mounting channel at one end and a handlebar clamp at another end. At least one bearing is disposed within a portion of the mounting channel for engagement against the steer tube. The at least one bearing allows or facilitates rotation of the stem about the steer axis independent of or substantially independent of the steer tube.
