An aqua resistance dumbbell comprises a tubular wall that provides a bore for receiving a user's hand from each end of the bell. A rod is located within the bore and extending laterally across the bore to be gripped by a user with one or both hands from one or both ends of the bore. The dumbbell has a plurality of longitudinal fins extend along the tubular wall on an outer side of the tubular wall, and at least one lateral fin that extends laterally at least part way around the tubular wall. An aqua resistance fin assembly comprises two fin components and at least one fastening member for fitting the fin components to a user's limb in a side-by-side configuration around the limb. Each fin component comprises a base adapted to fit against a user's limb and adapted to be secured to the user's limb by the fastening member, and at least two longitudinal fins and at least one lateral fin on an outer side of the base.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a wearable resistive equipment that integrates endurance and strength training capabilities into the clothing, while enhancing the effect of exercise, rest and motion. In one embodiment, the wearable resistive equipment is designed to include built-in resistance bands with end-clasping members for affixing to an external apparatus. In other embodiments the wearable resistive equipment is designed to include built-in resistance bands that can extend to various positions on a user's upper or lower legs. In yet other embodiments, the wearable resistive equipment is designed to include built-in resistance bands that extend upward toward the lower mid-section of a body for abdominal training.

There is provided an orthotic configured for muscle imbalance correction. The orthotic has a strapping configured for physically activating an undercompensating muscle group by physically pulling substantially in-line with muscle fibres of the undercompensating muscle group to assist muscle activation and physically deactivating an overcompensating muscle group by physically pulling and therefore compressing across muscle fibres of the overcompensating muscle group to provide muscle resistance. Examples of the undercompensating muscle group are at least one of the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus, vastus medialis and vastus medialis oblique. Examples of the overcompensating muscle group are at least one of the tensor fascia latae and iliopsoas.

A portable single bicep exercising machine is disclosed. The machine may comprise articulable framework running about a length of a user's given arm. This framework may be divided into upper framework and lower framework, with an articulable fulcrum connecting the upper framework to the lower framework. In use the upper framework, at an under arm pad, may be retained in a user's should/armpit region; while the lower framework may comprise a handle to be engaged by the user's hand of that same arm. Also between this upper framework and this lower framework may be one or more tension means, such that when the handle is articulated towards the under arm pad, about the fulcrum, that articulation is through resistance. It is such resistance that exercises the bicep of that same given arm.

A wearable device and an exercise support method performed by the wearable device are disclosed. The exercise support method includes receiving exercise setting information associated with a lower body muscle that is selected by a user input, determining a torque profile to be applied to the wearable device based on the received exercise setting information, and operating an actuator of the wearable device based on the determined torque profile.

A neck exercise device and system are disclosed. An implementation of the device can include a head harness having an adjustable headband and a first cranial strap having each end attached to the headband. The device can further include a plurality of attachment members.

A running form training device for training a runner to properly position and move their arms includes a harness, a pair of bands, and a pair of cuffs. The harness can be donned by a user so that the harness is removably engaged to a torso of the user. The bands are resiliently stretchable. Each band is engaged to the harness so that the band extends from proximate to a front of a respective shoulder of the user. Each cuff is engaged to a first end of a respective band and is removably engageable to a respective wrist of the user. The bands draw the arms of the user toward the harness, thereby restricting movement and positioning of the arms to promote proper running form.

A multifaceted exercise system is provided having several components, each capable of performing a different exercise. A vest worn by the exerciser has front segment and back segment, each segment having spaced apart O-rings and resistance bands secured by each O-ring adapted to be forced forward and laterally in order to exercise the chest. The back segment of the vest is provided with a panel member having roller receiving cavities each having fitted with a roller for performing a squatting exercise by moving the back panel member up and down a flat surface such as a wall. The back segment of the exercise device is also provided with a left O-ring and a right O-ring, a left resistance band having its upper end secured to the left O-ring and its lower end secured to the left foot, and a right resistance band having its upper end secured to the right O-ring and its lower end secured to the right foot. The exerciser can conduct abdominal exercises by removing the panel member from the back of the vest, placing it on a flat surface, and pushing and pulling the panel member using the hands of the exerciser.

A physical therapy device includes a brace to secure around an appendage of a person; a first locking device connected to a portion of the brace via a rivet joint, the first locking device having a gear; a pawl positioned to engage with the gear; a spring connected to the pawl to provide tension to the pawl; and a lock to release the pawl from the toothed gear; the first locking device is positioned next to a joint of the appendage when worn; the first locking device allows for single direction movement of the joint; and the first locking device is to release the joint via the lock.

A posture and movement training garment 100 comprises at least one elastic element 1-22 arranged to be stretched upon movement of the wearer's trunk and/or at least one of the wearer's limbs away from a predetermined rest or neutral position, thereby to provide the wearer with gentle elastic recoil sufficient to provide the wearer with additional kinaesthetic and/or touch feedback resulting from the movement, substantially without inhibiting the movement. A complementary sports training or physiotherapy garment 300 comprises a fabric base and pockets 50-55 for the reception of weights, the garment further comprising strips of relatively inextensible material 67 forming a network interconnecting the base material within the pockets, in which the majority of the strips run generally longitudinally of the wearer's limbs and torso and form a branched network with bases mainly originating at the wearer's shoulders and/or hips; and wherein the network does not completely encircle the wearer's limbs and torso. The weights may comprise a body 220 formed from an elastomer, in which the body contains an embedded plurality of pieces 216 of a harder, denser material, each piece having a minimum dimension of at least 1.5 mm and in which the individual pieces are movable relative to one another, whereby the body retains its flexibility.
