An exercise apparatus for attachment to an exercise rack including an arm, including: at least one mounting prong connected to the arm; and, a stand including a pivot point, wherein the pivot point defines a pivot axis substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the arm, and wherein the stand is configured in a first, vertical configuration when the apparatus is at rest and a second, largely horizontal configuration when the apparatus is in motion, and wherein the stand is rotatable with respect to the arm about the pivot axis to transition the stand from the first configuration to the second configuration.

An assistive stretching device worn by a user to reduce physical stress while lifting to aid another individual in stretching and method is disclosed. The device includes a belt sized to fit around the torso of the user, first and second pulleys supported on the belt, first and second wrist attachments; first and second ankle attachments; first and second cords threaded through corresponding pulleys with one end attached to corresponding ankle attachments and the opposite end attached to corresponding wrist attachments. The pulleys operate to change the direction of the lifting force, making it easier to lift and stretch the anterior aspects of the musculature of the individual rather than lifting dead weight. An attachment including a dual pulley system may replace the first and second pulleys and includes an arm supporting a pulley at each end and openings to provide leverage adjustments when attaching the arm to the belt.

An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, first and second pull cables supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, a power rack attached to the frame, first and second handles selectively attachable to the first and second pull cable, and first and second pulleys. The power rack includes upright posts configured to have barbell holders adjustably attached thereto such that the barbell holders are configured to be adjusted in various positions between highest positions and lowest positions on the upright posts. The pulleys are configured to selectively receive the pull cables to enable the pull cables to be selectively attached to a barbell to assist or hinder a user in lifting the barbell in a combined cable and free weight workout, the pull cables decoupled from the pulleys for cable workouts.

An exercise feedback system monitors the performance of athletes wearing a garment with sensors while exercising. The sensors generate physiological data such as muscle activation data, heart rate data, or data describing the athlete's movement. The system extracts features from the physiological data and compares the features with reference exercise data to determine metrics of performance and biofeedback. Based on the physiological data, the system may also modify exercise training programs for the athlete. The exercise feedback system can display the biofeedback using visuals or audio, as well as modified exercise training programs, via the athlete's client device in real time while the athlete is exercising. By reviewing the biofeedback, the athlete may correct the athlete's exercise form to properly use the target muscles for the exercise, or change the certain workouts to personalize the training program.

An exercise machine carriage handle system for providing handles for an exerciser to grasp with their hands thereby expanding the type of exercises that may be performed. The exercise machine carriage handle system generally includes a frame having a track, a carriage movably connected to the track, a bias member connected between the frame and the carriage, a first handle connected to the carriage near the first side, and a second handle connected to the carriage near the second side. The first handle and second handle are adapted for grasping with a first hand and a second hand respectively of a user during the performance of an exercise on the exercise machine.

An apparatus and a method for physical exercises is provided. The apparatus may include at least one rigid cylinder of circular or polygonal shape. The apparatus is designed for functional training exercises, including but not limited to, dry-land, surf-specific training. The apparatus is versatile and may be used in any and all fitness programs, as well as physical and rehabilitation therapy. Corresponding methods for performing physical exercises on at least one rigid cylinder are also provided.

Cable and power rack exercise machine. An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, a first pull cable and a second pull cable supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, and a power rack attached to the frame. The power rack may include a first upright post configured to have a first barbell holder adjustably attached thereto and a second upright post configured to have a second barbell holder adjustably attached thereto. The first barbell holder may be adjusted in various positions between a first highest position and a first lowest position on the first upright post. The second barbell holder may also be adjusted in various positions between a second highest position and a second lowest position on the second upright post.

A display apparatus is disclosed. The display apparatus includes: a camera, a display, a memory storing an artificial intelligence model trained to identify a posture of a user based on location data with respect to a plurality of body parts of a user included in images and additional location data acquired based on the location data, and a processor configured to: control the display to display a training image and images photographed by the camera, identify the posture of the user included in the photographed images by inputting the location data with respect to the plurality of body parts of the user included in the photographed images, and control the display to display a training guide based on whether the posture of the user matches a posture corresponding to the training image.

An exercise device for performing squat movement including a base part for supporting the device against a surface, a first tube member attached to the base part, a second tube member movable with respect to the first tube member, an elastic member resisting the downward movement of the second tube member and moving upward the second tube member with respect to the first tube member, and a seat member for pressing down the second tube member, the seat member being attached to the second tube member.
