In one aspect, the invention features a barbell including a first end portion, a second end portion, and a middle portion, where the middle portion is couplable to the first end portion and the second end portion. The middle portion includes a male coupling extending from a first end of the middle portion, the male coupling providing a first coupling mechanism that engages with a corresponding female coupling of the first end portion, and a female coupling providing a second coupling mechanism that engages with a corresponding male coupling of the second end portion.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for generating, by an artificial intelligence engine, one or more alignment plans for aligning a user with an imaging sensor. The method comprises generating one or more machine learning models trained to identify alignment plans. The method also comprises receiving user data and determining that a targeted portion of a body of the user is outside of a field of view of the imaging sensor. The method further comprises generating the one or more alignment plans using the one or more machine learning models. Each of the one or more alignment plans comprises a target location within the field of view of the imaging sensor and one or more elements for adjusting the targeted portion of the body from a first location to the target location. The method also comprises transmitting the one or more alignment plans to a computing device.

An apparatus and method for physical therapy includes a base structure, a roller table positioned on the base structure including a plurality of free motion rollers, at least one motor and/or and at least one air compressor connected to the base structure, a plurality of powered rollers or a contact plate located within the base structure being in contact with the plurality of free motion rollers, at least one pneumatic block with a pneumatic piston connected to the at least one air compressor and being configured to raise and lower the power rollers and/or the contact plate, a load cell in communication with the apparatus being configured to measure and record a patient's response to the transition of the roller table and/or the contact plate, and a programmable logic controller.

A fitness device contains a strap, a handle, and a plate. The strap is substantially inelastic and flexible. The plate is substantially rigid. The handle at least partially envelopes the strap. A method of exercising with such a fitness device is also described herein. Other fitness devices and other methods of use are also described herein.

A relief system for at least partially relieving the body weight of a person includes at least one first fastening device for fastening a first end of a first support device and at least one second fastening device for fastening a second end of the first support device which are formed on a cuff, such that an equally distributed tensile force is exerted on the cuff at the first fastening device and second fastening device when the first support device is guided through a guide device during a movement of the cuff when loaded by at least part of the body weight of the person. This advantageously permits a simple connection in particular of a bedridden patient to the relief system, without the patient first having to be moved, without other medical/therapeutic devices being disturbed, and without limiting the patient's stepping/walking movement.

A training device for strength training is capable of performing through use of a barbell, the training device including: a frame body; a support body configured to support the barbell from below; moving means for moving the support body to ascend and descend along the frame body; control means for controlling the moving means; and state detecting means for detecting a state of the barbell or a user, wherein the control means is configured to control the moving means based on a detection signal detected by the state detecting means. With the training device, various kinds of free-weight training can be solely and safely performed.

Provided is an information processing device including an acquisition unit configured to acquire first load information measured by a first load measurement device provided on a sole of a user and second load information measured by a second load measurement device provided to be closer to a toe of the sole than the first load measurement device and a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the user is in a pedaling state in which the user pedals a bicycle based on the first load information and the second load information.

Disclosed is an indoor waist exercise machine having an electronic weight scale. The indoor waist exercise machine having the electronic weight scale according to the embodiment may include an electronic weight scale, a rotary unit installed at a lower side of the electronic weight scale and including a rotary shaft disposed at one end thereof and a rotary sphere disposed at a lower end of the rotary shaft, a support unit installed below the rotary unit, spaced apart from the rotary unit, and having a coupling groove portion, and a control unit configured to control and lower the rotary unit so that the rotary sphere and the coupling groove portion are fitted with each other when a weight detected by the electronic weight scale exceeds a preset critical value.

A machine implemented method and system, including: transmitting one or more credentials of a user account from a user device to an exercise management system (EMS) having a processor and one or more sensors, where the EMS is disposed on an exercise equipment disposed in a selected at least one fitness center and the exercise equipment is part of a selected at least one exercise plan; transmitting the one or more credentials of the user account from the EMS to a cloud server having a processor; transmitting the selected at least one exercise plan for the new user account from the cloud server to the EMS; transmitting an exercise equipment information from the EMS; forming a user exercise data by the EMS for the exercise equipment based on data received from the one or more sensors; and transmitting an exercise feedback from the EMS.

Disclosed is an apparatus for performing motor activity of punch bag or similar type, the apparatus is capable of generating sensory stimuli and included a body having light sources controlled by a control unit and a sensor.
