The present invention relates to a display device including a communicator configured to communicate with an external apparatus that operates for a workout of a user; a display configured to display an image; and a controller configured to determine workout conditions of the user, and control the communicator to transmit a control signal to the external apparatus so that the display can display a corresponding image and the external apparatus can change the operation in accordance with the determined workout conditions of the user.

A stationary exercise device having variable footpaths is disclosed. The exercise device includes a frame, a pair of supporting members that have a first end to rotate about an axis and a second end to move along a reciprocating path, a pair of pedals joined to the supporting members, and a guider assembly for adjusting an incline angle of the reciprocating path.

An elliptical machine has a base, an upright column fixed to the base, a transmission mechanism mounted on the base, and two link mechanisms respectively connected with opposing sides of the transmission mechanism. Each link mechanism includes a first link rod that is telescopic and connected with both the transmission mechanism and the base, and a second link rod having a pedal and connected with the first link rod such that the pedals of the two link mechanisms are respectively linked to the transmission mechanism through the first and second link rods. When a user uses each pedal, a total length of the corresponding first link rod is reciprocatingly and continuously changed, so that a top end of the first link rod makes a first circulatory movement along a first elliptical path, and the corresponding pedal synchronously makes a second circulatory movement along a second elliptical path.

An exercise machine is for performing a striding exercise motion. The exercise machine has frame; first and second pedal members; first and second foot pads on the first and second pedal members, respectively, each of the first and second foot pads being configured to move in an elliptical path during the striding exercise motion; first and second rocker arms pivotally coupled to the frame; and first and second adjustment devices configured to actively adjust and set a position of the first and second pedal members relative to the first and second rocker arms, respectively, which thereby changes a shape of the elliptical path.

An apparatus for converting a cycle-type exercise machine into another type of exercise machine includes a stationary frame structure that attaches to a frame of the cycle-type exercise machine, a pair of swing arms pivotally coupled with the stationary frame structure, and a pair of coupler bars pivotally coupled with the pair of swing arms on one end and rotationally attached to a crank bar of the cycle-type exercise machine on an opposite end.

The invention relates to the field of sports and medicine, specifically to training devices, more particularly to an elliptical exercise device suitable for simultaneous training of shoulder and pelvic girdle muscles in a human. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide an exercise device for training trunk muscles, the shoulder girdle and the pelvic girdle in a human and, at the same time, to enable simulation of various motion patterns by activating different groups of muscles, joints, the locomotor system in a human in general and especially muscles which hold the vertebral spine. It is further desirable to enable optional correction of their load during the process of coordination of motor activity (locomotion) of the human body through simultaneous elliptical motions of hands and feet, which, in addition to the load on the shoulder girdle and the pelvic girdle muscles, simultaneously provide preferably stretching load on muscle groups which hold the vertebral spine.

Biokinetic ellipsoid is one of the series of the biokinetic spine exercisers designed to workout the spine in horizontal position being based on four limbs. Biokinetic ellipsoid has in its structure two kinematically connected mechanisms: a mechanism that provides the movement of the platforms for the legs along an elliptical trajectory and a mechanism that provides the swinging movements of the hand supports. The kinematic connection provides the movement of the platforms for legs and the hand supports in opposite directions, which provides the forced coordination of the movements of limbs and the entire musculoskeletal system and allows to exercise two modes: exercise mode jumps or exercise mode steps.

Thus, Biokinetic ellipsoid combines the dynamic effects and advantages of the biokinetic spine exercisers with the benefits of well-known elliptical fitness machines.

A stationary exercise apparatus includes a frame; two moving members respectively coupled to the frame, one end portion of each moving member located to define a swing axis; two swing members, one end portion of each swing member pivotally joined to the swing axis of the moving members; two supporting members respectively connected to the swing members, wherein one end portion of each supporting member is movably coupled to the frame, the other end portion of each supporting member is joined to the respective swing member so that one end portion of each supporting member moves along a reciprocating path; and two pedal sets respectively coupled to the supporting members, the pedal sets moving along a first path while the one end portions of the supporting members are reciprocating along the reciprocating path and the other end portions of the supporting members are rotating about a rotating axis.

An apparatus 200 having a frame 202 forming a base 204 upon which extend first, second and third frame supports 206, 208, 210 for the seat unit 212, resistance unit 214 and crank unit 216, and guide unit 218 respectively

A system and method for using a body joystick to interact with a virtual or mixed-reality machines or software applications that uses a support arm to hold a device for attaching the body joystick to a user's body, a sensor for detecting movement, and a tether and actuator for providing feedback to the user about interactions with the virtual or mixed-reality machines or software applications.
