FITNESS APPARATUS
The present application relates to a fitness apparatus having a housing on which are arranged a first supporting element and also a second supporting element. The first and the second supporting elements can be moved linearly in each case in two spatial dimensions located at right angles to one another. The housing has at least one active element, by means of which a movement of the first supporting element or of the second supporting element out of a respective starting position is counteracted by a force. The housing also has at least one coupling element, which couples the linear movement of the first supporting element in a to first direction of a first of the two spatial dimensions to a linear movement of the second supporting element in the second direction, which opposes the first direction in this first of the two spatial dimensions.
Exercise machine with pancake motor
An exercise machine is disclosed. The exercise machine comprises a pancake motor. The exercise machine comprises a torque controller coupled to the pancake motor. The exercise machine comprises a high resolution encoder coupled to the pancake motor.
Training apparatus for improving control ability of lower limb
The training apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a support unit; a guide unit fixed on the support unit and including rails which extend in a front-rear direction; a sliding unit which is movable in the front-rear direction along the rails of the guide unit; a pillar-shaped rotation axis fixed on the support unit; a footrest unit which supports a user's foot; a lower support formed below the footrest unit; and a connection rotating unit formed below the footrest unit and connected to the rotation axis of the support unit through insertion to allow the footrest unit to rotate around the rotation axis. A plurality of springs installed inward from two sidewalls of the sliding unit is configured to come into contact with the lower support of the footrest unit and apply pressure from two sides when the footrest unit rotates.
Leg rehabilitation exercise apparatus
The present invention provides a leg rehabilitation exercise apparatus, which includes: a base; a seat arranged on the base; a leg exercise frame arranged on the base; an upper rotation-supporting member arranged on the leg exercise frame; a lower rotation-supporting member arranged on the leg exercise frame; a reciprocating motion section including a left lifting/lowering motion section, a right lifting/lowering motion section, an upper connection section, and a lower connection section; a left lifting/lowering member arranged on the left lifting/lowering motion section; and a right lifting/lowering member arranged on the right lifting/lowering motion section. The left lifting/lowering motion section and the right lifting/lowering motion section are operable to do lifting/lowering motions in opposite directions. The leg rehabilitation exercise apparatus of the present invention achieves an effective result of training quadriceps muscles of thighs and shanks and is also an operation safe device.
Indirect alignment pivot mechanism for seated leg exercising machines
A seated leg extension exercise station and or a seated leg curl exercise station integrated into an exercise machine comprising an indirect alignment pivot mechanism to control the motion of the user engagement ankle pads such that the user's ankles and the machine's ankle pads are aligned to move in the same arcing path throughout the exercise motion and wherein all of the components of the indirect alignment pivot mechanism are located below the top surface of the seat pad during at least a portion of the exercise motion such that there is unobstructed access to the top surface of the seat pad when the user enters and exits the machine.
Power rowing machine with pivoting weight arm
A power rowing machine that combines the seat of a rowing machine with a weight arm for resistance training. The power rowing machine avoids the flywheel of a conventional rowing machine and instead uses a weight arm. The weight arm serves two purposes. First, weight can be added to the arm for progressive resistance training. Second, the pivoting action varies the resistance through the movement. As a slow controlled resistance exercise the back and the arms of the rowing stroke cannot move the same resistance as the legs. Similarly, a user at the beginning of the rowing motion, with the legs compressed, cannot move as much resistance as with knees at a 90-degree angle.
System and method of using two exercise machines
A system and method of using two exercise machines for performing a wide range of exercise movements that utilize both of the exercise machines in concert. The system and method of using two exercise machines generally includes first exercise machine and a second exercise machine which are used in concert to perform a wide range of exercise movements. The first exercise machine may include a track, a carriage movably connected to the track, and an end platform. The second exercise machine may include its own separate track, a carriage movably connected to the track, and an end platform. The exercise machines may be positioned side-to-side in parallel orientation such that an exerciser may perform various exercise moves by positioning different limbs on the respective carriages, end platforms, and/or tracks of the exercise machines, in addition to the surface underlying the exercise machines.
Exercise apparatus for exercising the neck muscles
An exercise apparatus for exercising the neck muscles with a frame and an exercise mechanism which is mounted on the frame, which can be coupled to a coupling member that can be worn on or around the head of a person who is exercising, wherein the exercise mechanism comprises a cross slide which makes available two translation axes on which a rail is mounted so as to be adjustable in height and rotatable, in such a way that, by means of the exercise mechanism, the coupling member is rotatable about three rotation axes and is movable in translation along three translation axes.
Exercise machine resistance adjustment system
An exercise machine resistance adjustment system for providing an exerciser the ability to immediately adjust the resistance force by changing their body position on the movable carriage or end platforms. The exercise machine resistance adjustment system generally includes a frame, a carriage movably positioned on the frame, a spring connected to the carriage to apply a biasing force to the carriage, one or more left projections within the carriage adapted for a left hand of an exerciser to grasp, and one or more right projections within the carriage adapted for a right hand of an exerciser to grasp. The exerciser is able to efficiently adjust the amount of resistance force applied to the carriage by repositioning their hands (or feet) from a first set of projections at a first distance to a second set of projections at a second distance from the first end of the exercise machine.
EXERCISE METHOD AND DEVICE
Embodiments of the present invention provide an exercise device including a frame; a seat connected to the frame and allowing a user to have a sitting or lying position; a guiding rail connected to the frame; a slide arm slidingly moving with a guiding range of the guiding rail; and a leg pad pivotably connected to one end of the slide arm and disposed below legs of the user or disposed to contact a rear surface of the legs of the user. Also, the exercise device is configured to adjust suitably for a portion of a user's body that the user wants to exercise as the guiding rail connected to the frame 1 includes an axis conversion part the axis conversion part having a fixing unit 6 for fixing the guiding rail to the frame that converts the guiding rail in a direction of a X-pivot axis parallel to the ground, in a direction of a y-pivot axis perpendicular to the ground, and in a diagonal direction when an angle to the ground is 45°.
