A cover may be disposed over at least a portion of the bounce mat and retained in an at least partially suspended position utilizing the plurality of poles. Trampoline may be utilized by coupling a bounce mat to a frame. A plurality of poles may also be coupled to the frame. A cover may be disposed over at least a portion of the bounce mat utilizing the plurality of poles to retain the cover suspended over the at least a portion of the bounce mat. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

A treadmill includes a treadmill frame, an endless belt, and a restricting device. The restricting device has a first strap member and a second strap member located above the endless belt. Each of the first strap member and the second strap member has a first end and a second end. The first end of the first strap member is connected to a right side of the treadmill frame, and the first end of the second strap member is connected to a left side of the treadmill frame. The second end of the first strap member is operable to be removably connected to the second end of the second strap member. The restricting device is configured to constrain a position of a user on the endless belt when the second end of the first strap member is connected to the second end of the second strap member.

A swimming exercise device, comprising a restraint including an opening and a contact portion, the restraint configured to receive a head of a user through the opening and to restrain the user, via contact between shoulders of the user and the contact portion, such that the user is held substantially stationary during forward motion of the user against the restraint and an abutment structure configured to contact a pool surface and transmit forces associated with the forward motion of the user against the restraint to the pool surface.

A treadmill includes a treadmill frame, an endless belt, and a restricting device. The restricting device has a first strap member and a second strap member located above the endless belt. Each of the first strap member and the second strap member has a first end and a second end. The first end of the first strap member is connected to a right side of the treadmill frame, and the first end of the second strap member is connected to a left side of the treadmill frame. The second end of the first strap member is operable to be removably connected to the second end of the second strap member. The restricting device is configured to constrain a position of a user on the endless belt when the second end of the first strap member is connected to the second end of the second strap member.

The disclosure relates to a cable tensioning station for providing a defined resistance force for resistance training, including a weight (9), which is arranged movably above a pull element (7, 17) and on which the resistance force is at least dependent, the pull element (7, 17) being guided via at least one coupling roller (18), which is designed to transfer a linear motion of the pull element as a rotary motion to a generator (19) to generate electrical energy, characterised in that the coupling roller (18) is embodied as a freewheel with adjustable blocking effect.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable-incline climbing wall. The climbing wall includes one or more climbing panels supported by a frame and a system for adjusting the incline of the frame to provide a climbing wall of a desired incline. The incline of the climbing wall may be adjusted by activating an actuator, which extends the upper portion of the frame a distance from a support wall, tilting the climbing wall to a desired incline. When the climbing wall is substantially vertically oriented, the system for adjusting the incline of the climbing wall may extend only a small distance from the support wall so that the adjustable-incline climbing wall has a relatively small footprint. In some embodiments, the climbing wall may also include one or more fitness accessories that can be brought to an optimal height for a particular user through adjustment of the climbing wall incline.

A pedal assembly for electromechanical exercise or rehabilitation of a user is disclosed and can include pedals to engage appendages of a user. A spindle supports each pedal and has a spindle axis. A pedal arm assembly is located between the spindle and an axle. The pedal arm assembly is radially offset from the spindle axis to define a range of adjustability for the pedal relative to the axle. The pedal arm assembly can include an electrically-actuated coupling assembly to adjust the position of the pedal in response to a control signal, and regulate motion of the user engaged with the pedals.

Disclosed are an auxiliary tool for barbells and an anti-slip method for barbells during use. The auxiliary tool comprises a sleeve which is composed of a first sleeve, a second sleeve, a third sleeve, a first sleeve wall, a second sleeve wall and a third sleeve wall, wherein the first sleeve wall is sequentially connected to the second sleeve wall and the third sleeve wall to form a complete sleeve cavity, the first sleeve wall and the third sleeve wall cover at least one part of a barbell bar, and the second sleeve wall expands outwards in the sleeve cavity to form an inner cavity; when the barbell bar is sequentially inserted into the first sleeve, the second sleeve and the third sleeve from a sleeve opening, the inner cavity is filled with gas to form a crush-resistant cavity; and protrusions are formed in an inner wall of the third sleeve, and a vent hole is formed in a bottom wall of the third sleeve. The auxiliary tool for barbells is small in size and convenient to carry and use, can be disposed around a barbell bar to serve as a fulcrum to allow trainers to make different lifting motions without being limited by the field, and can provide multiple training angles.
