A dual resistance structure includes a rotating shaft, a wind resistance unit, and a magnetic resistance unit. The wind resistance unit is fixed to the rotating shaft and includes blades arranged annularly. The magnetic resistance unit includes a magnetic resistance member and a magnetic resistance wheel. The magnetic resistance wheel is fixed to the rotating shaft. The magnetic resistance wheel is spaced apart from the wind resistance unit by a distance in an axial direction of the rotating shaft to form a moving space. The magnetic resistance member is selectively moved into or away from the moving space in a radial direction of the magnetic resistance wheel to adjust a magnetic resistance of the magnetic resistance wheel. Part of the magnetic resistance member is movable in the moving space when the magnetic resistance member is moved in the radial direction. The dual resistance structure is mounted on an exercise machine.

A support device for a bicycle includes a support structure, a fixing group supported on the support structure and also includes a movable element and a retention element configured to hold the front fork of the bicycle. The support device also includes a lifting/lowering device of the fixing group, in which the retention element is integral in translation with the movable element. The support device further includes connection means configured for slidingly fixing said fixing group to the support structure in such a way as to allow displacements of the fixing group with respect to the support structure along a compensation direction transverse to the vertical direction.

A support device for a bicycle includes a support structure, a fixing group supported on the support structure and a movable element and a retention element configured to retain the front fork of the bicycle. The support device further includes a raising/lowering device of the fixing group, the retention element is translatable jointly with the movable element, and the retention element is rotatably connected to the movable element.

The device is a foot power apparatus which provides a means for therapeutically strengthening the foot using an expansion spring mounted pedal suspended within a support frame assembly. One embodiment of the apparatus comprises which base, which generally resembles the sole of a shoe, and a support frame assembly which is attached at the front end and along the sides of said base. Suspended above the base within the frame assembly by a pair of opposing springs is a pedal transversely positioned to the base. With the user's foot positioned on the base, the front of the foot applies downward pressure to expand the springs while the heel of the foot remains stationary. Removable and interchangeable expansion springs provide customized and more accurate biomechanical motion for the needs of the particular patient. This system allows for the proper flexion biomechanics on an individual basis because of its ability to shorten the foot during the flexion process.

An exercise apparatus having a frame with attachments to multiple independent bidirectional resistance devices used by arms and/or legs of a user to provide resistance against movement of the user's appendages in two substantially opposed directions. The resistance devices may have a mechanism to control bi-directional resistance. The movement of the user's appendages in bi-directional resistance offers near full body exercise of agonist/antagonist muscles using flexion and extension action of larger muscle groups in a gait pattern, simultaneously. Hand engaging members attach to arm resistance devices and foot engaging members attach to leg resistance devices. The exercise apparatus may include an attached inclined backboard, mat, bench, or cushion to fully or partially support the user. The exercise apparatus may have separate height and/or length adjustment mechanisms for adjusting a range of motion of the user's appendages.

An exercise or training device that includes a first pulley, a second pulley, and a two ended line trained through the first and second pulley, the line having a first end and a second end, the first end of the line affixed to a first handle for gripping, a second handle for gripping affixed to the line at a position between the first end and the second end of the line. The pulleys may be fixed in position to a wall or rack such that they are horizontally spaced apart. In some embodiments, the pulley or pulleys may be attached to the fixed position by a spring assembly or other device to increase the linear force in the handles or bar.

A resistance exercise apparatus includes a support formation or platform for supporting the bodyweight of a user. The apparatus includes a pulley system with pulleys around which a cable is threaded, as well as a resistance mechanism with a pneumatic actuator connected to the pulley system. The cable has a handle on which the user can exert a muscular load so that the muscular load is transferred by the cable as a tensile load, to the resistance mechanism and the resistance mechanism being configured such that the pneumatic actuator exerts a resistive force against said tensile load.

Disclosed is a technical training garment configured for use with modular, interchangeable electronics and resistance modules. The garment provides resistance to movement throughout an angular range of motion and tracks biomechanical parameters such as stride length, stride rate, angular velocity and incremental power expended by the wearer. The garment may be low profile, and worn by a wearer as a primary garment or beneath or over conventional clothing. Alternatively, the device may be worn as a supplemental training tool during conventional training protocols.
