In one aspect of the disclosure, a motorized Pilates reformer system may include a frame, a carriage configured to slide along the frame, springs attached to the carriage, attachment mechanisms attached to the frame, spring motors attached to the frame, a footbar rotatably attached to the frame, and a footbar motor attached to the frame. The spring motors may be configured to cause the attachment mechanisms to each alternate between attaching one of the springs to the frame and detaching the spring from the frame. The footbar motor may be configured to rotate the footbar with respect to the frame between multiple footbar positions.

A rally fitness equipment includes a pedal body having a base and a cover covering the base, a resistance device including a control unit and a rotatable transmission unit arranged adjacent to each other, a winding unit, which is mounted in an accommodating space in the pedal body and includes a first belt wheel and a second belt wheel with mutually spaced settings, and a pull rope set including a pull rope that has one section thereof wound around the first belt wheel and the other section thereof exposed outside the cover of the pedal body and a bungee rope that has one section thereof wound around the second belt wheel and the other section thereof fixed to the base of the pedal body. The control unit provides a resistance against rotation to the transmission unit.

There is provided a limb exercise device comprising: a force sensor configured to determine a weight applied to the device; a sliding component configured to facilitate the sliding movement of the device along a separate surface, wherein the separate surface is a surface that is separate to the device, wherein the sliding component comprises a part of an external housing of the device; a device movement sensor configured to determine a movement of the device on the separate surface; a limb position sensor configured to determine a position, in at least one dimension, of a limb of a user positioned above or adjacent to the device; and an output device configured to output an indication in dependence on a signal from at least one of: the force sensor, the device movement sensor and the limb position sensor.

Disclosed herein is an exercise machine that includes an elongated frame having a head end and a foot end, and a moveable carriage slidably coupled to the elongated frame and moveable between the head end and the foot end, the moveable carriage having a spring bracket coupled to an underside of the moveable carriage. The exercise machine also includes a spring support rod slideably coupled with the elongated frame and disposed adjacent the foot end, and selectively positionable with reference to the foot end by a handle that extends from an interior area of the elongated frame to an exterior area of the elongated frame. The exercise machine also includes at least one resistive member coupled at a first end with the spring support rod and at a second end with the spring bracket, and configured to bias the moveable carriage towards the foot end of the elongated frame.

A device for training and rehabilitation of a limb is provided. The device provides a board with a plurality of movement tracks to allow for controlled movement of the limb in various directions. Blockers and other controlling structures may be arranged on the device to limit range of motion of the movement of the limb.

A Vertical Running Machine called a VARRI—Vertical, Anti-Gravity, Re-habilitation, Recovery, and Impact Resistant. It relates to the field of bio-mechanical technology, human physiological facts, and the relationship of gravity and the functionality of the body in motion. This is a Vertical, Anti-gravity device created for Recovery from injuries, physical therapy Rehabilitation with the functional characteristics of Impact-free conditioning and by providing a non-impact system to improve the conditioning or recovery of the user, the patient or the elderly. The device provides a method of a more rapid and safer recovery from injuries and surgery and also is capable to provide enhanced athletic performance by using a vertical, non-impact system which alleviates the damages on the muscles and skeletal structure of the body from the continuous impact of horizontal running on the ground.

A starting block (1) including a supporting ledge device (10) for a start of a backstroke race. The supporting ledge device is at least partially integrated into the starting block. The supporting ledge device includes a support ledge (13) on which at least one foot of a swimmer can be supported before the start of a backstroke race. The support ledge is held from within a base (9) or a base plate of the starting block by fastening elements (11). Two flexible fastening elements in the form of straps are respectively connected to the two ends of the support ledge and to return means within the starting block at ends opposite the fixation to the support ledge.

The exercise tool includes a rigid base with a torso support extending up from a central portion of the base, and with a pair of handles extending up from lateral portions of the base. The torso support includes padding on at least an upper portion thereof. The padding is contoured to have a non-planar upper surface. The handles can be gripped by fingers of a user while the user rests a backside of a torso of the user upon the torso support, and leg and hip lifting and lowering exercises can be performed. In one embodiment, the handles include multiple separate bars in different orientations to facilitate optimal hand gripping. The exercise tool can be utilized for a large number of exercises with then tool supporting hands, feet, and/or torso or other body portions which benefit from being supported above ground while performing various exercises.

A piece of exercise equipment particularly for improved strength training exercises. More particularly, the invention relates to equipment that allows the user to vary tension when performing different exercises. The present invention is specifically designed for improved exercise through the variability of a tension component for use in such exercises as the plank exercise, sit-ups, push-ups and supine pull-ups that includes a core support, a guide arm, a head support, and a foot support that work in conjunction to most optimally support the user. The core support, the head support and the foot support are all connected, supported, and elevated from the floor by a central support system.

Disclosed herein is an exercise machine that includes an elongated frame having a head end and a foot end, and a moveable carriage slidably coupled to the elongated frame and moveable between the head end and the foot end, the moveable carriage having a spring bracket coupled to an underside of the moveable carriage. The exercise machine also includes a spring support rod slideably coupled with the elongated frame and disposed adjacent the foot end, and selectively positionable with reference to the foot end by a handle that extends from an interior area of the elongated frame to an exterior area of the elongated frame. The exercise machine also includes at least one resistive member coupled at a first end with the spring support rod and at a second end with the spring bracket, and configured to bias the moveable carriage towards the foot end of the elongated frame.
