A bicycle trainer for mounting a bicycle includes a roller for engaging the rear wheel of the bicycle, and a motor controlled by an electrouros unit and providing driving and braking forces to the roller. The bicycle trainer is used in a method for comparative home training.

A device (1) for the assisted execution of a physical exercise by a user includes a sitting area (2) in which the user is accommodated. Leg movement devices (3) are suitable for accommodating the right and left foot, respectively, of the user to move them according to a rotatory trajectory with respect to a leg rotation axis (G-G). Arm movement devices (4) are graspable by the user with the right and left hand, respectively, to move them according to a rotatory trajectory with respect to an arm rotation axis (B-B) that extends parallel to the leg rotation axis (G-G). The device further includes an exercise controller (5) operatively connected to the leg movement devices (3) and to the arm movement devices (4) to transmit the respective movement simultaneously.

An exercise system comprising one or more resilient members and a secondary exercise device. The secondary exercise device can be in exercise bike, elliptical machine, stepper, treadmill, or any other suitable cardiovascular or exercise device. One or more resilient member support elements can be supported by a base member which can be separate from or integral with the frame or support members of the secondary exercise device. In this configuration, a user can exercise his or her muscles using the resilient members while simultaneously operating the secondary exercise device. Additional exercise stations comprising the resilient members can be formed around the secondary exercise device.

A stationary bike capable of leaning of tilting side to side during use is described. The stationary bike has a fixed frame portion and moving frame portion which is pivotally mounted on the fixed frame portion, at two spaced apart pivot locations, to allow the moving frame to pivot about a pivot axis defined by the two spaced apart pivot locations. The pivotal action of the bike may be resisted, such as by a damper. The tilt-enabled bike is equipped with a tilt disabling mechanism, e.g., a locking mechanism configured to selectively and operatively engage the moving and the fixed frame to disable the relative movement (i.e. the pivoting) of the moving frame.

A system for rehabilitation is disclosed. The system for rehabilitation includes a monitoring device that includes a memory device storing instructions and a network interface card. The monitoring device is configured to detect information from a body part of a user. The system for rehabilitation further includes one or more processing devices operatively coupled to the monitoring device. The one or more processing devices are configured to execute the instructions to receive configuration information specified in a treatment plan for rehabilitating the body part of the user. The one or more processing devices are configured to execute the instructions for receiving the information from the monitoring device. The one or more processing devices are further configured to execute the instructions to transmit the configuration information and the information to a computing device controlling an electromechanical device, via the network interface card.

A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat base, a seat back rotatably connected to the seat base, a seat bottom mounted on the seat base, and at least one of the following mounted to one of the seat base, seat back, and seat bottom: a resistance mechanism structured to exert a biasing force on at least one exercise arm operatively connected to the resistance mechanism; a bicycle seat receptacle structured for detachably mounting a bicycle seat to the seat base; and a docking mechanism structured for detachably mounting a pedal mechanism to the seat base.

An exercise apparatus comprising: a foot support, a user interface that includes a visual display, the foot support being movable by the user on the frame back and forth through any one of a plurality of complete, reproducible and different arc segments of a master arcuate path, the foot support being interconnected to a selection device that enables the user to select any one of the plurality of arc segments, one or more detectors adapted to detect one or more of force, energy or power exerted by the user over time on the foot support or distance or velocity of travel of the foot support or resistance assembly during the course of the user's performance of all or a portion of an exercise cycle, the visual display displaying a visually recognizable format of one or more of the force, energy, power, distance, time or velocity.

A system for rehabilitation is disclosed. The system for rehabilitation includes one or more electronic devices comprising one or more memory devices storing instructions, one or more network interface cards, and one or more sensors, wherein the one or more electronic devices are coupled to a user. The system for rehabilitation further includes one or more processing devices operatively coupled to the one or more memory devices, the one or more network interface cards, and the one or more sensors. The one or more processing devices are configured to execute the instructions to receive information from the one or more sensors. The one or more processing devices are further configured to execute the instructions to transmit the information to a computing device controlling an electromechanical device, via the one or more network interface cards.

A pedal system for tracking use of a cycle style exercise device. The pedal system includes a pedal with a shaft for coupling to the pedal crank of the exercise device and a housing that is rotatable about the shaft. An accelerometer positioned in the housing is configured to provide data about the movement of the pedal to a microcontroller. A wireless communication chip positioned in the housing is used to transmit the data about the movement of the pedal to a remote device via the wireless communication chip. The remote device is programmed to receive, display and track the data about the movement of the pedal.

A bicycle rack assembly includes a first upright unit that is selectively positioned on a support surface. The first upright unit has an upper end and the upper end receives a rear axle of a first bicycle. In this way a rear wheel of the first bicycle is spaced from the support surface to spin freely when the first bicycle is mounted and pedaled. A second upright unit is slidably coupled to the first upright unit and the second upright unit is selectively positioned on the support surface. The second upright unit has a top end and the top end receives a rear axle of a second bicycle. In that way a rear wheel of the second bicycle is spaced from the support surface to spin freely when the second bicycle is mounted and pedaled.
