The invention provides an exercise machine (10) of the type which have pedals (38) or foot plates through which a person can, in use, transfer kinetic energy to the machine, which machine comprises a means for vibrating the pedals or foot plates during exercise. The exercise machine includes a mechanism (40) to engage or disengage the vibration.

A vertical exercise device for triggering sympathetic and/or parasympathetic system responses comprising at least one foot support and a handlebar assembly. The foot support(s) may have a support surface configured to contact the entire ball of a user's foot during use, which may be inclined at an angle and substantially flat. The handlebar assembly may have at least an upper handle configuration and a lower handle configuration, and be adapted to keep a user's wrist within a safe range of motion during use. The positioning and orientation of foot support(s) and the handlebar assembly may each be independently adjustable in various aspects, such as horizontal and vertical displacement, rotation, tilt, angle, etc. The angle and depth of the support surface may each be independently adjustable. A horizontal vibration system may move one or more components of the device along the horizontal plane. Handlebars may have thumb plates to restrict grip.

In general, an exercise device includes a handle having a first end and a second end. A curved member is coupled to the first end of the handle. A movable member is coupled to the curved member, with the movable member configured to travel along a length of the curved member, where the movable member has a first portion and a second portion, and the second portion is configured to move relative to the first portion. An elongate member has a first end and a second end, and the first end of the elongate member is coupled to the second portion of the movable member. A weight is coupled to the second end of the elongate member.

The present invention relates to a dumbbell device for training muscles on a person, wherein at least one gripping element is adapted and provided to be raised and/or lowered by the person, and further wherein at least one gripping element is mechanically fixedly, releasably or non-releasably, connected to the weight element and is grippable by the person for the purpose of raising and/or lowering, wherein at least one adjusting element displaces and thereby adjusts a center of gravity of the weight element relative to the gripping element by means of an adjusting weight.

Systems and methods for dynamic resistance training are provided that include the use of a dynamic force module. The dynamic force module includes an actuator and controller adapted to control the actuator according to a force profile that specifies the relationship between an operational parameter of the actuator and a measured parameter associated with a user performing an exercise. The dynamic force module is also capable of communicating with a broader network system to facilitate storing and distribution of force profiles and user profile information. The network system further includes features for, among other things, generating and managing force profiles, uploading multimedia content, and tracking user progress.

The present application relates to a fitness apparatus having a housing on which are arranged a first supporting element and also a second supporting element. The first and the second supporting elements can be moved linearly in each case in two spatial dimensions located at right angles to one another. The housing has at least one active element, by means of which a movement of the first supporting element or of the second supporting element out of a respective starting position is counteracted by a force. The housing also has at least one coupling element, which couples the linear movement of the first supporting element in a to first direction of a first of the two spatial dimensions to a linear movement of the second supporting element in the second direction, which opposes the first direction in this first of the two spatial dimensions.

The invention relates to a respiratory therapy device (1) for treating the musculature of respiratory tracts, lung functions and/or mucous deposits in the lungs, nose and/or throat of a patient (2), consisting of a hollow body (3) in which at least one through-channel (4, 5) is provided, a mouthpiece or nosepiece (6) which is inserted into the hollow body (3) and which is connected to the patient (2) during the duration of the treatment by the respiratory therapy device (1), and consisting of at least one vibration body (11, 12) which is arranged in the interior of the hollow body (3) and which is caused to vibrate in an oscillating manner by the inhalation and/ or exhalation of the patient (2), wherein an oscillating, resistive and/or threshold-typical air pressure vibration occurs, the individual resistances during the inhalation and exhalation being adjustable specific to the patient and a modification or repositioning of the respiratory therapy device (1) not being required. This is solved in that a retaining body (13) is inserted into the hollow body (3), into which retaining body at least one opening (14) is integrated, in that a freely oscillating tongue (15) is fixed to the hollow body (13) in the region of the opening (14), by means of which tongue the opening (14) of the retaining body (13) is closed or opened in regions according to the air flows (7, 8) prevailing in the interior of the hollow body (3), in that the end face (9) of the hollow body (3) opposite the mouthpiece (6) is open, in that a stenosis (18) is inserted into said end face (9), into the shell surface (19) of which stenosis at least two passage openings (20) are provided through which the air flows (7, 8) flow into the interior of the hollow body (3) or vice versa, in that the passage openings (20) of the stenosis (18) have different cross-sectional areas than air passages for the air flows (7, 8) and that the stenosis (18) is rotatably mounted in the hollow body (3), such that one of the passage openings (20) can be selected or adjusted as an air passage by rotating the stenosis (18).

The present disclosure provides a wrist training device. The wrist training device includes a handle, a central shaft, an adjusting device, and two counterweight wheels. The handle is sleeved on the central shaft. The central shaft includes a thick end and a thin end. One of the two counterweight wheels is fixedly connected to the thick end of the central shaft. Another one of the two counterweight wheels is rotatably connected to the thin end of the central shaft. A hollow groove is arranged on an end surface of the thin end of the central shaft. A plurality of limiting grooves are disposed on a circumferential surface of the thin end of the central shaft. Each counterweight wheels is of an eccentric structure. The adjusting device is arranged on the thin end of the central shaft and arranged in the other counterweight wheel.

An inner assembly and an outer assembly of a hypotrochoid apparatus with a spindle located inside the inner assembly where a spindle proximate end and a spindle distal end each employ at least one mechanical interface. An eccentric hub provides a central throughbore for receiving a spindle, where the spindle is rotatably engaged with the eccentric hub and the inner bore which enhances vibration when the spindle is rotating and the eccentric hub is engaged.

In an exercise system, a first user uses an exercise device indoors and a second user moves outdoors simultaneously. The exercise system includes, for the first user, an exercise device used indoors and a first processor configured or programmed to calculate a virtual movement distance of the first user; and for the second user, a second processor configured or programmed to obtain positional information indicating geographic coordinates of a position of the second user moving outdoors. The first processor displays, on a display, an image including a virtual positional relationship between the first user and the second user in an outdoor area where the second user is moving based on the positional information of the second user and the virtual movement distance of the first user.
