Mouth guard that includes a flexible printed circuit board encapsulated within a base member is provided. The flexible printed circuit board includes multiple separate stiff sections spaced apart from each other within the base member. One or more electronic devices are disposed within the base member. In particular, the one or more electronics are disposed on the base member.

An activity monitor that is worn by a user for monitoring water-based activities. The activity monitor includes at least one motion sensor, a water sensor, a memory, and a processor. The processor is operable to run an algorithm to calculate activity data based on an output from the motion sensor and to save the activity data to the memory. The processor can be triggered to operate to calculate the activity data and to save it to memory by an output from the water sensor to indicate that the monitor is immersed in water.

A locking device for an exercise system may include a locking member having a contact portion and configured to move between a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the contact portion of the locking member is not in mechanical communication with the resistance mechanism of the exercise system, thereby allowing movement of the at least one moveable assembly. When in the second position, the contact portion of the locking member is in mechanical communication with the resistance mechanism of the exercise system, thereby preventing movement of the at least one moveable assembly.

A variable radius cam mechanism is configured for use in a weight lifting apparatus. The variable radius cam mechanism includes a disk configured to rotate about an axis. The cam mechanism includes a cable guide coupled to the disk and defining a path for a cable and a radial tangent distance between the cable and the axis. The cam mechanism further includes one or more actuators coupled to the disk and the cable guide and configured to move the cable guide relative to the disk to change the radial tangent distance during rotation about the axis. The cam mechanism includes a controller programmed to operate the one or more actuators to cause the one or more actuators to move the cable guide to change the radial tangent distance thereby changing a force transferred through the cam mechanism.

Systems, apparatuses and methods may obtain motion data, obtain audio data, and detect a collision between a handheld device and an object based on the motion data and the audio data. In one example, noise may be removed from the motion data and the audio data to obtain filtered collision data, wherein the object is classified based on the filtered collision data.

A portable exercise apparatus including an exercise board with moving and fixed indices marking progress made while exercising a knee which requires therapy consisting of controlled flexing and extending of the knee joint. A foot board or seated foot slide cooperatively engages and slides back and forth on the exercise board. An knee/ankle platform is removably attachable to the seated foot slide providing for active or passive knee extension stretching and a short-arc quad. A knee extension pad and target is included for use with the platform. Sensing means which may include a microprocessor control box or computer or smart device with a light and/or sound device for visual and/or auditory feedback are in communication with the exercise board provide a user with the results of flexing or extending the knee by a selected controlled amount.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to systems for automatically protecting an individual from injuries using one or more sensors, one or more rigid members, and one or more inflatable members associated therewith, and methods of using the same.

An adaptive sport posture sensing system has a sensing device, a sensing signal acquiring unit and a sport posture processing unit. In the determination mode, the sport posture processing unit selects one piece among multiple established pieces of sport posture reference data according to a sport name, a wearing position and one piece of user body information, the sensing signal acquiring unit obtains at least one first sensing signal sensed by the sensing device, and the sport posture processing unit compares a sport posture data generated based upon the at least one first sensing signal with the selected piece of the sport posture reference data, so as to determine whether a sport posture of the user is correct or not.

Embodiments provide physiological measurement systems, devices and methods for continuous health and fitness monitoring. A wearable strap may detect reflected light from a user's skin, where data corresponding to the reflected light is used to automatically and continually determine a heart rate of the user. The wearable strap may include a motion sensor that is used to determine a motion status of the user. Based upon the motion status of the user, the system may activate light emitters on the wearable strap to determine the heart rate of the user.

A variable-resistance exercise machine with wireless communication for smart device control and interactive software applications, comprising a wireless network interface that receives input from a user device and provides output to a user device; a plurality of moving surfaces that each provide an independent degree of resistance to movement based on received input and that detect movement and provide output to a user device based on the movement; and a plurality of rigid rails that provide a rigid support for a human user to grasp, and that provide attachment points for a user to affix a variety of devices.
