A paddling simulator includes a bar, a cable attached to the bar, a motor operationally coupled to the cable such that the motor can apply a force to the cable, and a controller configured to control the motor to generate a first tension in the cable during a propulsion phase of a paddling stroke and a second tension in the cable during a recovery phase of the paddling stroke.

An exercise machine is disclosed. The exercise machine comprises a motor. The exercise machine comprises a gearbox coupled to the motor, wherein the gearbox comprises bevel gears. The exercise machine comprises a spool coupled to the gearbox. The exercise machine comprises a cable wound about the spool. A second exercise machine is disclosed. The second exercise machine comprises a motor. The second exercise machine comprises a lockable translatable mount. The second exercise machine comprises a cable coupled to the motor via the lockable translatable mount. The second exercise machine comprises a sensor coupled to the lockable translatable mount, wherein the sensor is used at least in part to determine mount lock state. A third exercise machine is disclosed. The third exercise machine comprises a motor. The third exercise machine comprises a mount. The third exercise machine comprises a cable coupled to the motor via the mount. The third exercise machine comprises a sensor coupled to the mount, wherein the sensor is used at least in part to determine mount lock state. The third exercise machine comprises a lockable arm coupled to the mount and a second sensor coupled to the lockable arm, wherein the second sensor is used at least in part to determine arm angle.

A distortion display apparatus includes a distortion recording section and a distortion display section. The distortion recording section records the distortion of a golf club shaft during swinging in a first direction and a second direction at each time point when the distortion is measured. The distortion display section displays the distortion with a horizontal axis representing one of the first direction and the second direction and a vertical axis representing the other. The first direction is a direction in which a golf ball is hit by swinging the golf club. The second direction is a direction orthogonal to the shaft and the first direction.

An exercise device with a redundant monitoring and control circuit integrated within or otherwise in communication with various components of the exercised device to detect and act on real or possible improper operation of the exercise device. A redundant controller may, based on a determination of a potentially out of specification operating condition of the exercise device, transmit one or more control signals to alter (e.g., reduce or remove) power to the motor of the exercise device. The redundant controller may provide a control signal to a motor power gating device to remove power transmitted to the motor from a power source and/or enable an inhibitor line of a motor controller to disconnect main power from the motor. Controlling the motor power gating device and the inhibitor line may ensure that power is removed from the motor even when a conflicting signal is being transmitted to the motor.

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 machine includes a shaft configured to rotate about an axis; a spool configured to receive a strap and drive rotation of the shaft about the axis in response to movement of the strap; a flywheel configured to rotate about the axis; one or more conductive coils arranged to generate magnetic fields that induce eddy currents in the flywheel; a clutch configured to engage and disengage transmission of torque between the spool and the flywheel; and a spring arranged around the axis, the spring configured to exert a return torque on the spool about the axis in response to rotation of the shaft.
