An exercise device having a unique asymmetrical shape with rounded ends of differing radii to provide stability and added resistance.

A patient support apparatus may include a frame and an articulated deck coupled to the frame. The articulated deck may include a head section, a seat section, a thigh section, and a foot section. The seat section may include a stationary frame coupled to the frame and a moveable frame that moves relative to the stationary frame. The moveable frame may move between a retracted position and an extended position.

A plank support exercise apparatus and related methods is provided. The plank support exercise apparatus has a frame and at least one arm support pad connected to the frame. A ground-interface surface is positioned along at least a portion of the apparatus.

An exercise assist device transitively moves a sacroiliac joint in a lateral decubitus position. The following description is provided in the context of a left lateral decubitus position. The upper right leg is placed on a stand in the lateral decubitus position, and the upper right leg is then extended transitively backward with a sacral area supported by a sacrum support pad. Since a posterior side of a lower left sacroiliac joint is slightly opened, a sacrum slides backward via a right hip joint. This improves mobility of the lower left sacroiliac joint.

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.

A swim training system, a swim data computation method using the same, and a swim training method using the same are provided. The swim training system includes a training device and a processing device. The training device measures a tension in a connecting component which is fastened to a swimmer. The processing device selects a conversion parameter from a conversion parameter table in the processing device according to a swimmer information. Then the processing device performs a conversion between the tension and a swimming speed with the conversion parameter to obtain the swimming speed of the swimmer.

An exercise device with advanced bench exercises for glute, abs and leg toning, for use in both stomach down and up positions, has: a bottom support and at least one main support stem extending upwardly; a main joint body support frame rotatably connected to the support stem to allow lower and upper support bars to be tiltable. The upper support bar sufficiently supports at least a portion of a human torso and is rotatably connected to the main joint; one or two lower support bars adjustable in length, and having a top portion connected to the main joint, upper support bar or at least one support stem; and a bottom portion extended away from the main joint. Some embodiments have near-horizontal torso support, and some have titled torso support. There are pedals for cycling, except some embodiments replace rotating pedals with fixed footrests to replace cycling with leg lifts.

An exercise device having a unique asymmetrical shape with rounded ends of differing radii to provide stability and added resistance.

A plank support exercise apparatus and related methods is provided. The plank support exercise apparatus has a hand grip and a frame extending from the hand grip. At least one arm support pad is connected to the frame, wherein a distance between the hand grip and the at least one arm support pad is adjustable. A ground-interface surface is positioned along at least a portion of the frame.

An exercise machine having band grips mounted on arms that reciprocate at a pre-set incrementally increasing rate of reciprocation and at an applied force capacity greater than a resistive force applied by the user. The band grips are universally mounted for manipulation by the user for repositioning the hands at the beginning of each stroke of reciprocation without removing the hands from the grips, thereby exercising alternate opposing it is. muscle groups during alternate strokes of reciprocation and allowing the user to apply a desired resistive force, which force is measured and displayed for viewing by the user during exercise.
