A golf club head includes a metallic section, a polymeric section, and an adhesive material. The metallic section defines an opening and the polymeric section extends over the opening. The adhesive material is disposed between the metallic section and the polymeric section to form an adhesive joint therebetween. The adhesive joint has an adhesive retaining strength configured to inhibit the polymeric section from being detached from the metallic section when the adhesive material is at least partially cured. The metallic section and the polymeric section are also mechanically engaged with one another to form a mechanical joint therebetween having a mechanical retaining strength configured to inhibit the polymeric section from being detached from the metallic section. The adhesive retaining strength of the adhesive joint, alone, is greater than the mechanical retaining strength of the mechanical joint, alone, only when the adhesive material is at least partially cured.

A bed assembly includes a bed frame having a head end and an opposed foot end. A first bed brace and a second bed brace are located at the head end and foot end of the bed frame. At least one upper sliding bar is configured to connect the upper ends of the first and second bed braces. The at least one upper sliding rail is configured to support an exercise apparatus. At least one work table is configured to slide back and forth along a lower sliding rail under the bed frame and concealed at the foot end of the bed frame when not in use.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses and methods for rendering haptic environments, such as may be used in rehabilitation. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, haptic rehabilitative movement is effected by providing feedback signals characterizing sensed engagement of a user's lower extremity with a crank coupled to a shaft that is driven by a motor, and controlling movement of the crank in response to the feedback signals. Force may be provided by the motor and shaft, by applying control inputs to the motor that cause the motor and crank to render respective haptic environments while engaged with the user's lower extremity, via rotation of the shaft. The haptic environments may include one or both of impedance-based haptic environments and admittance-based haptic environments.

Exercise equipment includes an arm unit having left and right hand grips. The lateral centerlines of the hand grips are closely spaced together. In use, with the hands on the hand grips, the user revolves the hand grips in a circular motion simulating a speed bag punching type of movement.

In a first aspect, a method is provided that includes the steps of (1) providing a monitor for determining a level of exercise performance performed by an exerciser and for outputting a signal representative of the performance level; (2) using the monitor to measure a level of exercise performance performed by an exerciser; (3) outputting from the monitor a signal representative of the performance level; (4) providing a video game having a character, the video game inputting and being responsive to the performance level signal output by the monitor, the video game using the performance level signal to control a performance level of the video game character; and (5) while the exerciser is not exercising, controlling a performance level of the video game character based on a performance level signal output by the monitor.

The present invention is directed, in part, to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment with the added features of an upper body weight training regimen in order to provide a user a full body workout, cardiovascular exercise and weight training simultaneously. The invention does so by employing either a weight tray apparatus configured to newly designed cardiovascular equipment or machine or through the use of an adjustable weight training apparatus combined with the newly designed cardiovascular equipment or machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment including stationary and recumbent bikes, elliptical machines, treadmills and stair steppers, with a tray apparatus that allows a user to employ free weights. The invention further relates to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment including stationary and recumbent bikes, elliptical machines, treadmills and stair steppers that are configured with an adjustable weight training apparatus that allows a user to build upper body muscle groups simultaneously with cardiovascular exercise, in effect, providing a full body workout.

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.

A system for a virtual and mixed-reality enhanced exercise machine that allows a user to exercise while interacting with a virtual reality or mixed reality environment using whole body movements and positioning, and receiving haptic feedback associated with the user's interaction with the virtual reality or mixed reality environment.

A system for a virtual and mixed-reality enhanced exercise machine that allows a user to exercise while interacting with a virtual reality or mixed reality environment using whole body movements and positioning, and receiving haptic feedback associated with the user's interaction with the virtual reality or mixed reality environment.

An input assembly is for an exercise machine. The input assembly has a housing having a keypad window, an insert in the housing, and a keypad in the keypad window, the keypad being sandwiched between the housing and the insert such that a seal is formed there between, the seal being configured to prevent ingress of liquid to the housing via the keypad window.
