The top horizontal bar includes a plurality of zones, wherein each zone is configured to receive a first cable at a first end of the first cable. Each of the two vertical bars includes a slider. Each slider is configured to receive a second cable at a first end of the second cable. The torque force directional cable-based system includes one or more handheld handle devices. Each handheld handle device includes a handle frame, a cable grip revolving around a front portion of the handle frame, a hood fixedly attached to the handle frame, and a swivel assembly fixedly attached to a top of the hood. The swivel is configured to receive either the first or the second cable at a second end of the first or the second cable.

An explosive strength training device is provided. The explosive strength training device includes a cable set, a power box, a resistance motor and a controller. The cable set includes a rubber belt and a movable pulley block connected with one end of the rubber belt, the movable pulley block has a first main pulley disposed opposite to the rubber belt, and allows the pulling force of the rubber belt to pass through the center of the first main pulley. Through the labor-saving structure of the first main pulley, the middle section of the power belt is wound on the upper side of the first main pulley and fixedly sleeved on the positioning rod with the fixed side to form a fulcrum.

A mobile exercise device configured to enhance virtual reality experiences is provided. The system generally comprises a harness, top supports, bottom-carrying arms, resistance elements, and attachment elements secured to said resistance elements. In some preferred embodiments, a mechanical arm and/or top-carrying arm may be used to change the position of the resistance elements about a user. The resistance elements are preferably secured to a glove worn by a user, allowing for resistance in multiple directions. In one preferred embodiment, a control system may be used to adjust the tension of the resistance elements. In another embodiment, the system may be configured to operably connect to a gaming system, wherein an actuator operably connected to said resistance elements is responsible for adjusting tension based on actions by a user within a digital environment.

An exercise machine tension device securing system for safely and efficiently securing selectable biasing members to an exercise machine. The exercise machine tension device securing system generally includes an exercise machine including a frame and a carriage movably positioned on the frame. A plurality of tension devices may be connected to the frame at one end; with the other end being removably connected to the carriage by a selection device. The selection device may include a plurality of slots for removably receiving one or more of the tension devices to secure the tension devices selectively to the carriage. A securing member movably connected to the selection device includes projections adapted to selectively enclose the slots so as to secure the tension devices within the slots of the selection device.

An elliptical exercise machine may include a base, one or more upright stanchions coupled to the base and extending upward from the base and supporting first and second cranks. The first crank may support a first crank arm. The first crank arm may support a first pedal leg hanging downward from the first crank arm. The first pedal leg may support a right pedal. The right pedal may be configured to swing forward and rearward and to raise upward and lower downward. The second crank may support a second crank arm. The second crank arm may support a second pedal leg hanging downward from the second crank arm. The second pedal leg may support a left pedal. The left pedal may be configured to swing forward and rearward and to raise upward and lower downward.

Electromechanical rehabilitation of a user can include receiving a pedal force value from a pedal sensor of a pedal; receiving a pedal rotational position; based on the pedal rotational position over a period of time, calculating a pedal velocity; and based at least upon the pedal force value, a set pedal resistance value, and the pedal velocity, outputting one or more control signals causing an electric motor to provide a driving force to control simulated rotational inertia applied to the pedal.

A bi-directional exercise machine has a work arm, first and second cams coupled to the work arm, a resistance mechanism, and a pulley assembly that couples the resistance mechanism to the work arm via the first and second cams so that movement of the work arm is resisted by the resistance mechanism according to first and second resistance profiles provided by the first and second cams, respectfully. A primary pulley cable has a first end coupled to the first cam and a second end coupled to the second cam. When the work arm is in a rest position, the ends of the primary pulley cable extend from cable tracks of the cams, respectively, at a tangent so that the resistance mechanism applies a resistance force on the work arm via the pulley assembly immediately upon movement of the work arm out of the rest position.

The present invention provides an exercise device (100) for exercising core muscles of a user’s torso. The exercise device comprises a frame (110), configured to be supported by the user and a radially outwardly facing channel (130; FIG. 6), the channel (130) configured to receive a resistance member. The frame defines an aperture (112) configured to receive a torso of the user and the device (100) is configured to provide a resistance force against which the user can exercise when the device (100) is in use. Also claimed is a kit of parts comprising the device (100) and a resistance member, and a method of exercising core muscles of one’s torso.

A weightlifting machine that includes a pulley system and a cable system that attaches to a weight rack frame to allow a user to perform a weightlifting exercise. The pulley system may include a first pulley and a second pulley where the cable system engages each pulley. The cable system may have a first end connected to a grip attachment and a second end attached to a resistance element. The resistance element may include a resistance band, a weight support that holds a weight plate, a set of weight plates, or other type of resistance element. The cable system may extend from the pulley through an opening located one of the frame members that form the frame.

The present disclosure discloses a calibration method for output force of strength-type intelligent fitness equipment, which belongs to the field of intelligent fitness, including: connecting a tension detection device to the strength-type intelligent fitness equipment; obtaining an actual tension of the strength-type intelligent fitness equipment by turning on the tension detection device to perform detection; obtaining a tension deviation based on a target tension of the strength-type intelligent fitness equipment and the actual tension; and calibrating the strength-type intelligent fitness equipment based on the tension deviation.
