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.

An apparatus, method, and a non-transitory programmed medium provide a structure to move a heavy bag to simulate sparring along with a method and programmed media to provide selective training experiences. Drive motors in a Cartesian gantry provide multi-axis lateral motion in a horizontal plane. The heavy bag is instrumented to generate information indicative of performance of the user. Also, the heavy bag receives information to prompt a user with indicators such as LEDs. A moving target simulates a boxing match. A user responds to motions of a heavy bag in an X-Y plane whether toward or away from the user. It may be used as a sparring partner. Electronic controls provide a pre-selected pattern of movement. Training programs include sequences designed by professional boxers and trainers. Controls may be adaptive to vary responses of the apparatus in response to user performance.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to monitor athletic performance. In some embodiments, one or more control circuits and sensors are used to analyze performance as it compares to music tempo that is played during an exercise session or class, which may be done both directly and/or indirectly. In one embodiment, athletic performance during an exercise period is monitored and compared to the tempos of music played, where the music tempo is identified by one of measuring the actual tempo of the music played and/or obtaining the tempo from a database or otherwise associating the selection(s) played with an identified tempo of the music itself. In another embodiment, the music tempo is indirectly identified or analyzed, such as by analyzing the performance or cadence of a group of exercisers and comparing the performance parameters sensed to obtain a benchmark tempo from which to compare individual users.

An exerciser includes: sensor installation units provided to be spaced apart from and face each other in a direction parallel; a radiation unit for radiating light, in a first sensor installation unit; a light receiving unit for receiving the light radiated from the radiation unit, in a second sensor installation unit; a speed detection unit for detecting a speed of the golf ball by checking a moment the golf ball passes; a position measurement unit for measuring a position of the golf ball; an operation control unit for performing calculation to detect an initial position value of the golf ball and a moving speed Vb and a moving distance Hb of the golf ball; and a storage unit for storing the measured speed Vb and distance Hb of the golf ball.

Crack climbing is being sought out by more indoor climbers, however the issue that has arisen is that indoor features are fixed; cannot be removed or changed, thus climbing the feature indoors quickly loses its value as a method of getting stronger, or improving one's ability to adapt to outdoor environments. Currently if one wishes to practice or train for Crack climbing, they take to easy natural rock routes outdoors or build training boards out of wood to simulate common hand placements under the duress of a climb. Provided herein is an indoor-traditional crack climbing hold (I-TCCH) simulating a variety of Crack climbing situations and providing a “Settable” gym “Crack” to the simulated outdoor environment crack and the opportunity for climbers who wish to learn how to climb crack to have a safe way to learn about making correct hand placement, while conditioning themselves to natural rock surfaces.

In one example, a muscle exercise device includes a first arm and a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, and the second arm and the first arm are configured to cooperatively define a recess having a shape that changes as one of the first arm and the second arm moves toward, or away from, the other of the first arm and the second arm. The muscle exercise device further includes a resistance element configured to reside in the recess and be compressed between the first arm and the second arm so as to assume a configuration similar to the shape of the recess. Finally, a wireless transmitter chip is disposed in either the first arm or the second arm, and the wireless transmitter chip is responsive to communications from an app residing on a user device.

A smart ball-machine uses artificial intelligence to train a player or to play with a player. For example, the ball-machine can adjust the tennis ball speed, topspin, bounce according to the player's successful ball return rate. The ball-machine can be preconfigured with a profile of a player. For example, the ball-machine may download a complete profile of a tennis player from a game recording, or may download a file with a customized profile of a player to train a player using the ball-machine. The ball-machine is equipped with a plurality of wheels, motors, and shafts to provide a fully customizable launch of one or more balls. For example, the ball can be launched from the machine from one side of a tennis court to another side of a tennis court with a variety of speeds, trajectories, topspin, bounce etc.

To provide an opportunity to receive advice on equipment that is beneficial for users to improve their skill. A motion analysis system includes a movement sensor device for detecting a state of a racket, a user terminal for presenting to a user an analysis result of a movement of the racket analyzed based on detection information detected by the movement sensor device, and an adviser terminal for presenting to an adviser an advice request transmitted from the user terminal along with the analysis result and receiving input of advice information created by the adviser and corresponding to the advice request. The advice information includes recommendation information related to equipment recommended to the user.
