A basketball goal system comprising a backboard assembly and suspension frame affixed to the back surface, a suspension structure connected to the suspension frame of the backboard and a goal indication system which interfaces to at least one of the suspension structure or backboard to cause an indication (of various colors) to be presented via the suspension system and/or the backboard which indication relates to the shot points associated with a shot attempted at the goal. The goal indication system causes presentation of a cue on a front surface of the backboard, which cue is of a color corresponding to shot points. The backboard elements and light emission of the suspension frame can be controlled synchronously or asynchronously.

A rowing exercise assembly includes a pair of elevation units that is each positionable at a selected point between a minimum elevation and a maximum elevation. A rowing machine is coupled between each of the elevation units thereby facilitating the rowing machine to be positionable at a variety of horizontal angles. In this way the elevation units enhance rowing exercises. A pair of cables is coupled to a resistance unit. A pair of handles is respectively coupled to the pair of cables and each of the handles may be gripped for performing the rowing exercises. A control is positioned proximate to the rowing machine and each of the elevation units is electrically coupled to the control. Moreover, the control actuates each of the elevation units to be positioned at the selected point between the minimum and maximum elevations.

A method for displaying archived exercise classes comprising displaying information about archived exercise classes that can be accessed by a first user via a computer network on a display screen at a first location, wherein the first user can select among a plurality of archived classes, outputting digital video and audio content comprising the selected archived class, detecting a performance parameter for the first user at a particular point in the selected class, displaying the performance parameter on the display screen, and displaying performance parameters from a second user at a second location on the display screen such that at least one of the performance parameters from the first user and at least one of the performance parameters from the second user at the same point in the class are presented for comparison.

A method includes providing a first video file to a plurality of exercise machines, the first video file including content associated with an exercise class. The method also includes receiving user data from the plurality of exercise machines, the user data including respective settings associated with a common performance metric. In such a method, the respective settings are used on the plurality of exercise machines during playback of a particular part of the first video file. The method also includes identifying a timestamp associated with the particular part of the first video file, and generating an executable control corresponding to the performance metric. The method further includes generating a second video file comprising the content and the executable control. In such methods, playback of the second video file causes display of the executable control at a part of the second video file corresponding to the timestamp.

Provided is an air sensor, coupled to an air inlet of an air-filled product that is filled with air to maintain a shape thereof, the air sensor including: a connector coupled to the air inlet and communicated with an interior of the air-filled product, thereby allowing air in the air-filled product to be introduced into an interior of the connector; a silicon sensor provided inside the connector, thereby being operated by air pressure of the air-filled product; an impact sensor configured to detect an impact caused by an operation of the silicon sensor; and a PCB connected to the impact sensor, thereby displaying the number of times according to a detection signal of the impact sensor.

An adjustable weight lifting device (21) includes a tube (31), a pin (33) movably disposed inside the tube (31), the pin (33) comprising an external thread (35), and one or more driving knobs (51) extending radially inward relative to an inner wall of the tube (31) and engaging with the external thread. The external thread comprises at least one portion having a first helix angle and at least one portion having a second helix angle, the second helix angle being smaller than the first helix angle.

A tensile strength training device having a handheld housing with a curved electronic display panel defining a housing channel and with a left side panel and a right side panel each flanking and coupled to the curved electronic display panel, each with a sidewall defining a concave cavity, two opposing handle apertures, and two opposing bracket apertures. Left and right U-shaped handle brackets are disposed within the respective wo opposing bracket apertures and coupled to a handle member disposed within the concave cavity thereon for grasping by a user and disposed within the two opposing handle apertures. The device includes a printed circuit board electrically coupled to a power source, a force sensor operably coupled to the left and right U-shaped handle brackets, and operably configured to measure a tensile force applied thereto that is able to be displayed around at least 180° of the curved electronic display panel.

An exercise machine with a movable belt includes a guard assembly with a flexible guard that extends towards the rear axis and is spaced apart from the movable belt by a first gap and is exposed by the housing body, a rigid guard positioned downstream of the flexible guard with respect to a moving direction of the belt and spaced apart from the movable belt by a second gap, and a channel disposed between the flexible guard and the rigid guard. The guard assembly protects the user from injury and prevents damage to the exercise machine.

An electromechanical device for rehabilitation includes pedals coupled to radially-adjustable couplings, an electric motor coupled to the pedals via the radially-adjustable couplings, and a control system including a processing device operatively coupled to the electric motor. The processing device configured to, responsive to a first trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a passive mode by independently driving the radially-adjustable couplings rotationally coupled to the pedals. The processing device also configured to, responsive to a second trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in an active-assisted mode by measuring revolutions per minute of the radially-adjustable couplings, and cause the electric motor to drive the radially-adjustable couplings when the measured revolutions per minute satisfy a threshold condition, and responsive to a third trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a resistive mode by providing resistance to rotation of the radially-adjustable couplings.

A support part of a swimming start block. The front support part (18) is provided for a starting block (1) of a swimming race, which includes at least one base (9) to be fixed around a swimming pool, and a platform (5) which is mounted or fixed on the base (9). A foot of a swimmer as well as his hands are supported before the start of a race on the front support part. This front support part is arranged to be mounted interchangeably on a front portion of the platform (5) of the starting block (18) and can be an intelligent front support part with motion sensors and light source and race management electronics.
