Apparatus (1) for the physical training of at least one of the limbs (40) of a living being, comprising a cuff (2) comprising an inflatable pouch (3), a device (4) for inflating the pouch (3), a system (5) for venting the pouch (3), a control unit (9) controlling the inflation device (4), said inflatable pouch (3) and the cuff (2) surrounding the pouch (3) being able to be positioned around a limb (40) that is to be trained so as to make it possible, when the pouch (3) is in the inflated state, to reduce the blood circulation through said limb (40). The training apparatus (1) comprises an air reserve (6) connected to the pouch (3) for transfer of air between the pouch (3) and the air reserve (6) at least when the pouch is deformed, and a pressure sensor (7) configured to measure the pressure of the air circuit, at least part of which is formed by the fluidic connection (8) between the inflatable pouch (3) and the air reserve (6).

An exercise machine adjustable resistance system and method for efficiently varying the workout resistance for an exercise machine. The exercise machine generally includes a carriage movably positioned with respect to the at least one rail, a plurality of springs selectively connectable to the carriage to provide a resistance level to the carriage, a plurality of electrically actuated mechanical devices adapted to latch a corresponding one of the plurality of springs to the carriage when in the latch state and unlatch a corresponding one of the plurality of springs to the carriage when in the unlatch state and a control unit in communication with the plurality of electrically actuated mechanical devices to selectively control the state of each of the plurality of electrically actuated mechanical devices to be within the latch state or unlatch state.

A multiple position adjustable exercise device includes a first plate, a second plate and an elastic member. The second plate is pivotally connected with the first plate. The elastic member is disposed between the first plate and the second plate, and when the second plate rotates relative to the first plate, the elastic member is twisted for providing an elastic recovering force. An initial position of the second plate relative to the first plate is adjustable for adjusting the elastic recovering force.

An exercise machine that incorporates the design of the Pilates reformer with more current pieces of exercise equipment and options for a more versatile workout.

A low friction rehabilitation board having an integral band retaining feature is described. The rehabilitation board may have a coefficient of static friction of no more than about 0.5 and in some embodiments no more than about 0.06. The rehabilitation board has a plurality of band retaining feature configured along one or both ends and may be an integral band retaining features being formed in the board. Additionally, the rehabilitation may include one or more band retaining features on one or both sides of the board. The unique configuration of the band retaining features enables rehabilitation method heretofore not possible with a single board. Resistance bands may be retained in the band retaining features and coupled to a user's limb, such as a foot or ankle, to resist motion, such as sliding or extending the foot along the low friction surface of the rehabilitation board.

The present invention relates to an exercising device (1) comprising a lever or power arm (10) which is able to be arranged by a first end (12) on a retaining element (16) at a first articulated joint (13) in a way pivotable about a pivot axis or pin (14), whereby a resistance element (18) is able to be coupled by a first end region (20) at a first coupling point (22) on the power arm (10), and by a second end region (24) at a second coupling point (26) at a second articulated joint (25) on the retaining element (16). The exercising device (1) is able to be detachably arranged on a structure (40) by means of an engaging connection, which is formed by a hook-shaped recess (50) and a rod-shaped element (46) and whereby the exercising device (1) is lockable in an engaged position by means of a fixation.

The invention concerns a modular exercise system having a first support frame module having a plurality of frame members, each member being joined to an adjacent frame member and oriented in a common plane such that the first support frame is two-dimensional in form. The modular exercise system further requires a weight source mounted on the first support frame, a plurality of pulleys mounted to different frame members of the first support frame, and a cable running from the weight source over the pulleys to connect the weight source to one or more manual actuator for performing a resistance exercise in use. The first support frame has one or more attachment formation for selective attachment to one or more further support frame module. The further support frame module is also two-dimensional in form and attachable to the first support frame in an orientation within the common plane, wherein the further support frame module has one or more further manual actuator.

A stationary circular exercise device for exercising via hand and foot platforms, which are removably encompassed in a track and are slideable along the circumference of a circular frame. Resistance to movement can be added with the use of cable or bands that are fixed at one or more locations along the track. Weights can also be attached by the use of pins or pegs, to the cables or bands to increase resistance.

A non-limiting example training instrument comprises a hollow main body formed of an aluminum alloy. The main body is constituted by two gripping portions opposite to each other with a space therebetween and a coupling portion coupling the two gripping portions. A load sensor is arranged in the coupling portion inside the main body. The load sensor is a load cell, a strain gauge affixed to an interior of the main body, and a part of the main body to which the strain gauge is affixed functions as a strain body. Therefore, if a user applies a force so as to bring the two gripping portions close to each other or a force so as to move the two gripping portions away from each other, a load thereof is detected by the load sensor.

The present disclosure relates to a modular strap-based exercise apparatus, kit, and method of use thereof, and more particularly to an apparatus, kit, and method for modularly connecting components of a strap-based exercise device. In an embodiment, the strap-based exercise apparatus includes one or more infinity loops configured to attach various portions of the exercise apparatus together. The exercise apparatus may be provided as a kit including an elongated member, a grip assembly, and one or more mechanisms for adjusting the length of a strap and connecting straps together.
