A Pilates Exercise System. A member ID of a member of the Pilates exercise system is received. A selection of a Pilates exercise routine comprising of two or more Pilates exercises is received. Settings associated with a previous performance of at least one of the two or more exercises by the member are provided.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to personal therapy and exercise systems as well as to methods related thereto. For example, a personal therapy system can be a modular system that can include multiple therapy gear modules.

A training device includes a force receiving component, a location detector, a resistance generator, and a controller. The force receiving component moves along a closed trajectory. The location detector is configured to detect a location of the force receiving component in the closed trajectory and to output a location signal. The resistance generator is configured to exert a resistance on the force receiving component. The controller controls the resistance generator to adjust the resistance based on the location signal.

The present disclosure discloses a multi-angle electric exercise equipment, including: a meridian stretching standing plate which includes a base, standing plate handrails, and an angle adjusting standing plate, a health management system which comprises a health inspection and control unit and a health analysis unit; the standing plate handrails are provided on the base; the angle adjusting standing plate is provided facing the handrails and at one side of the base; an upper surface of the angle adjusting standing plate is provided with a treading area, the angle adjusting standing plate is adjustable in angle; the health analysis unit is used to analyze health information collected by the health inspection and control unit, acquire a health analysis result, and provides a health solution. The present disclosure is mainly used for stretching of meridians of human body, providing multi-angle stretching angle adjustment for exercises of stepped difficulty.

Described herein are methods for determining a target musculoskeletal activity cycle (MSKC) to cardiac cycle (CC) timing relationship. The method may include detecting a signal responsive to a cyclically-varying arterial blood flow at a location on a head of a user; providing a recurrent prompt at a frequency of the heart pump cycle using the signal, such that the signal correlates with a magnitude of blood flow adjacent to the location, and the recurrent prompt is provided to guide the user to time performance of a component of a rhythmic musculoskeletal activity with the recurrent prompt; and guiding the user to adjust a timing of the component of the rhythmic musculoskeletal activity to substantially maximize a magnitude of the signal. In some embodiments, the method further includes generating the recurrent prompt by amplifying the sound generated by the blood flow in or in proximity to an ear of the user.

A strength training apparatus includes a rack configured to hold a bar between exercises performed using the bar, at least one light source coupled to the rack, and a controller communicable with the light sources. The controller is programmed to determine a desired range of motion for a current exercise and control the at least one light source to display an illumination pattern based on the desired range of motion.

The invention pertains to a stationary exercise bike along with a display that provides instruction to lead a rider through an exercise program. The invention allows a rider to obtain benefits of a group, instructor-led class though the rider's schedule does not permit the rider to participate in the class. The invention also describes a method of exercising with the foregoing bike and display.

According to one example, a training device includes a first set of time of flight sensors (ToF) positioned to face in a first direction, a plurality of addressable red, green, blue light emitting diodes (RGB LEDs) positioned to face in the first direction, and a second set of ToF sensors positioned to face in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The training device includes and/or is in communication with one or more processors that can determine a training program for a user that includes visual signals that represent a plurality of actions for performance by the user. Also, for each of the plurality of actions, the training device can cause a first set of the plurality of addressable RGB LEDs to provide a visual indication of the corresponding action for performance by the user, and detect whether the user performed the corresponding action.

A treadmill includes a frame, a front shaft assembly coupled to the frame, a rear shaft assembly coupled to the frame and spaced apart from the front shaft assembly, a running belt disposed about the front and rear shaft assemblies, and a motor coupled to the running belt. In a first operating mode of the motor, the force of rotation of the running belt is provided by a user of the treadmill. In a second operating mode of the motor, the force of rotation of the running belt is provided by the motor.

The present invention concerns a new individually tailored exercise training and rehabilitation technique, referred to as MPT: Medical Personal Trainer. More precisely, the invention concerns an innovative method to be used in the field of physical activity and exercise training/rehabilitation programs for healthy individuals and for patients with chronic diseases. It merges together, in an interactive way, advanced notions from medicine, engineering, mathematics, artificial intelligence, in order to provide new clinical perspectives for automatic personalized health care as well as novel insights on individually-tailored management and advanced treatment, in a user-familiar setting, of healthy subjects (including elderly) and patients with chronic diseases.
