A combined exercise apparatus includes a lat pull-down machine and a rope pulling exercise machine. The lat pull-down machine includes a first handle, a first pull rope, and a first resistance module. The first handle is connected with the first resistance module through the first pull rope for providing lat pull-down training through the first resistance module. The rope pulling exercise machine is mounted to the lat pull-down machine. The rope pulling exercise machine includes a rope, a wheel seat, and a second resistance module. The rope is wound around the wheel seat. The wheel seat is connected with the second resistance module for providing rope pulling training through the second resistance module. Wherein, the first resistance module of the lat pull-down machine and the second resistance module of the rope pulling exercise machine are independent from each other.

A Functional Training System (FTS) is provided and includes a system container, wherein the system container includes a container front, a container rear, a container first side, a container second side, a container bottom, and a container top, wherein the container front, container rear, container first side, container second side, container bottom, and container top define a container cavity. The FTS further includes an exercise structure, wherein the exercise structure includes a platform connector, wherein the platform connector is non-perpendicularly and securely associated with at least one of the container front, container rear, container first side, container second side, container bottom, and container top, and wherein when the exercise structure is securely associated with at least one of the container front, container rear, container first side, container second side, container bottom, and container top, the exercise structure is supported by the system container.

An adaptive training system can determine a finite work capacity and critical power and use those determinations to generate an adaptive training programs for workout parameters. To determining a finite work capacity and critical power, the adaptive training system can receive workout data; generate data points by determining, for each workout, a maximum amount of work done for each of multiple time window sizes; fit these workout data points to a function; and determine a critical power and finite work capacity based on the fitted function. Once the adaptive training system has determined a critical power and finite work capacity, the adaptive training system can use them to generate an adaptive training program by keeping a function defined by a set of workout parameters below an ability function that is based on the critical power and finite work capacity.

A piece of exercise equipment particularly for improved strength training exercises. More particularly, the invention relates to equipment that allows the user to vary tension when performing different exercises. The present invention is specifically designed for improved exercise through the variability of a tension component for use in such exercises as the plank exercise, sit-ups, push-ups and supine pull-ups that includes a core support, a guide arm, a head support, and a foot support that work in conjunction to most optimally support the user. The core support, the head support and the foot support are all connected, supported, and elevated from the floor by a central support system.

An exercise apparatus including one or more user-movable members, an electrical energy generator operably connected to the user-movable member, an electrical energy storage element electrically connected to the electrical energy generator, a sensor to sense the use of the apparatus, and a communication interface, wherein the communication interface is powered by the electrical energy storage element, receives exercise data from the sensor relating to the use of the apparatus and is capable of transmitting the exercise data to a remote data collection component, such as a server.

A multi-functional finger exercise device includes mechanisms for both compression exercises and extension exercises. The compression exercises are provided by a plunger biased away from a central housing. The extension exercises are provided by an elastic member with an anchor exposed from the housing. The tension provided by each of the compression mechanism and extension mechanism is adjustable.

An exercise apparatus with base horizontal members forming a base polygon and ceiling horizontal members forming a ceiling polygon and a plurality of vertical members mounted at their lower ends to the base polygon and mounting the ceiling polygon spaced from the base polygon. A human interface permits athletes to exercise, and wheels mounted to the base polygon permit transport of the apparatus and attached equipment to a field or court. The base polygon includes two parallel skids and the human interface may be a pad permitting an athlete to push the apparatus horizontally when none or two of the wheels contact the ground. When no wheels contact the ground, the apparatus may be used in the manner of a weight rack, because the apparatus will not move along the ground without substantial force being applied.

An exercising equipment combination includes a plurality of exercising devices, and a connecting device connecting the exercising devices. Front ends of the exercising devices abut each other. Each of the exercising devices includes a support post and a secondary table mounted on the support post. The secondary tables of the exercising devices are juxtaposed and put together to form a primary table which has a predetermined geometric shape.
