A drive mechanism for an elliptically-driven device includes a drive arm with a foot platform pivot assembly; a crank arm; a foot platform assembly pivotally coupled to the drive arm via the foot platform pivot assembly; a foot platform angle adjustment mechanism operably coupling the foot platform assembly to the crank arm so as to impart a foot platform angle of the foot platform assembly relative to the drive arm that varies during a stroke of the foot platform assembly.

An exercise mechanism for a training machine is disclosed wherein the training machine includes a machine base and at least one handle which is operable to swing. The exercise mechanism includes at least one support and a rotary disk, wherein the at least one support is pivotally connected to the machine base and has a first end and a second end which are respectively on two sides of a portion pivoted to the machine base; the at least one support moves to generate a relative up and down displacement between the first end and the second end when the handle swings; the first end is pivotally connected to the machine base via a linkage assembly; the rotary disk would be driven to rotate when the second end moves whereby the exercise mechanism is capable of operating the training machine.

A manual non-motorized exercise treadmill with the ability to provide adjustable resistance to perform strength training resistance movements and simulate the movements of an exercise drive sled in a stationary location is described. A treadmill deck of the treadmill is supported by friction-reduction rollers, a front treadmill roller and a rear treadmill roller. The treadmill is operated by the user pushing and/or pulling with the feet of the user via a belt or harness attached to adjustable stationary hand bars. Variable resistance allows for increased or decreased difficulty in achieving the exercise according to the preference and ability of the user. The resistance is configured to be applied to the rollers and/or belt, making it more difficult for the user to manually move the treadmill belt. The treadmill belt is configured to oscillate for both concentric and eccentric exercises not provided by conventional treadmills.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a climbing machine including a resistance device, a driving device, and two climbing devices. The driving device comprises an upper wheel set, an axial wheel set, and a lower wheel set. The axial wheel set includes a first axial wheel and a second axial wheel. Through a plurality of connecting members, the alternate up and down movements of the climbing device drive the upper wheel set and the lower wheel set to rotate in a first direction, the upper wheel set drives the first axial wheel to rotate in a second direction, and the lower wheel set drives the second axial wheel to rotate in the first direction.

A multi-purpose home workout device. The device comprises a resistive weight with an open channel designed to allow an axle to pass therethrough, such that the axle is operably connected to a wheel, and an outer frame. The outer frame further includes a pair of bracer arms designed to receive the axle and to redistribute the weight of a user across the outer frame. The wheel includes an open interior space and is positioned between the bracer arms such that the resistive weight can rest on the axle within the interior space. Furthermore, the orientation of the wheel and the outer frame allow both to rotate about the axle without interfering with one another's movement. As such the outer frame is predisposed to tilting at non-horizontal angles when in use, and thereby forces a user to train their balance, strength and coordination simultaneously.

A physical training apparatus includes a housing, a flywheel mechanism accommodated in the housing, the flywheel mechanism including a spindle, at least one flywheel mounted on the spindle and bearings to support the spindle in the housing, and a windable pull element, such as a pull cord or band, which is arranged to be wound up the spindle and unwound from the spindle. The spindle includes a spindle end portion. The flywheel is exchangeably mounted on the spindle end portion against a stop located on the spindle. A fastening knob is releasably coupled to the spindle end portion and adapted to engage the flywheel and force it against the stop located on the spindle. The housing includes at least on one lateral side a covering lid.

A hockey training apparatus may comprise a backrest. The backrest may support the back of a user during use. A harness may comprising one or two straps connected to the backrest. The user may pedal and practice puck stickhandling techniques that include moving the puck in front of the frame between a right side and a left side of the hockey training apparatus. The frame of the hockey training apparatus may comprise a back section in contact with a floor and a backrest tube for mounting and supporting a backrest post of the adjustable backrest. The frame may also have a middle section for mounting and supporting the crankset, pedals and axle and a front section in contact with the floor, but preferably without any handles or other structures in front of the user that would interfere with side to side movement of a hockey stick by the user.

A sport training machine including a machine base and at least one handle is disclosed. Wherein, the at least one handle is pivotally connected to the machine base; the at least one handle is pivotable between a first position and a second position, and the at least one handle has a grip for a user to hold; when the at least one handle is moved from the first position to the second position, a displacement of the grip in a first direction X is X, and a displacement of the grip in a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X is Y, which satisfies the following condition: X<Y. With the above design, it enables the user to perform upper limb stretching exercise or training sports.

An exercise mechanism for a training machine is disclosed wherein the training machine includes a machine base and at least one handle which is operable to swing. The exercise mechanism includes at least one support and a rotary disk, wherein the at least one support is pivotally connected to the machine base and has a first end and a second end which are respectively on two sides of a portion pivoted to the machine base; the at least one support moves to generate a relative up and down displacement between the first end and the second end when the handle swings; the first end is pivotally connected to the machine base via a linkage assembly; the rotary disk would be driven to rotate when the second end moves whereby the exercise mechanism is capable of operating the training machine.

An exercise apparatus (5) comprising: a user input device (5i) mounted to a frame for movement in a first direction (6f) and for movement in a second direction (6o) that is generally opposite the first direction (6f), the user input device (5i) comprising a manually engageable device (5e) interconnected to a first fan (20) adapted to be rotatably driven to exert a first resistance (R1) on rotation in one direction and a second fan (22) adapted to be rotatably driven to exert a second resistance (R2) on rotation in one direction.
