An exercise apparatus with oscillating tilt system includes a main frame for supporting all the components of the apparatus, a tiltable upstanding support is tilted oscillating, a mechanism which enabling a user of the apparatus to move hands and feet up and down harmoniously, and another mechanism to change an orientation of the user in relation to the vertical line oscillating during the exercise, and consequently changing the direction of the forces affecting different muscles of the user of the apparatus.

An exercise apparatus enabling a user to move the hands forward/backward in the same direction longitudinally and in opposite direction of the feet while the user's hands and feet move in a divergent/convergent manner laterally along a symmetrical semi elliptical routes.

An exercise device featuring a pair of knee joints, each pivotally and respectively coupled to a pair of calf linkages, each of the pair of calf linkages having a foot pedal at an opposite lower end that supports low impact user-defined natural exercise gait patterns. The knee joints are supported and directed to travel by linkage and/or carriage systems that operate substantially below a user hip area and direct the knee joints in a variety of travel paths, ranging from a constant arc, a linear pathway, to a variety of irregular arc shaped paths to pathways that may change during use. A secondary system coupled to the linkage and/or carriage systems provides lift and dampening forces to influence a responsiveness of the foot pedals via bending and straightening of the calf linkage about the respective knee joint, yet does not restrict back and forth travel of the respective knee joint.

An exercise apparatus comprising a foot support movable by the user on the frame back and forth through any one of a plurality of complete, reproducible and different arc segments of a master arcuate path, the foot support being interconnected to an arc segment selection device that is manually actuatable to enable the user to manually select any one of the plurality of different arc segments, the foot support being interconnected to an arm having a handle manually graspable by the user to reduce or increase power or energy required by the user to move the foot support.

A lateral elliptical trainer includes foot support platforms and an adjustment system configured to adjust the amount of lateral movement of the foot support platforms. The adjustment system includes a cable operative to adjust the amount of lateral movement of the foot support platforms. The cable is coupled to an actuator that is controllable by a user to enable the user to set the amount of lateral movement of the foot support platforms.

A method of treating sepsis and septic shock is using a passive simulated exercise device is disclosed. The exercise device functions to increase pulsatile shear stress (friction) to the vascular endothelium. Increased shear stress stimulates release of beneficial mediators from the endothelium into the circulation that promote integrity of the endothelial barrier as well as to prevent its disruption by suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress. The latter is the basis for the deleterious effects of sepsis and septic shock. Failure to control integrity of the endothelial barrier promotes excessive leakage of fluid and proteins from the vasculature into surrounding interstitial fluid that can rapidly escalate into major morbidity, shock and death.

A comprehensive physical exercising apparatus with running exercising function and strength exercising function is provided and relates to the field of fitness equipment. The apparatus includes a base, a strength exercising unit disposed on the base, and a running exercising unit disposed on the base and used for running exercising of fitness personnel. The strength exercising unit includes a force-adjustable rotary device fixedly connected in the base and used for providing a load during the strength exercising of fitness personnel; and pulling ropes fixedly connected to the force-adjustable rotary device. During strength exercising, the fitness personnel pulls the force-adjustable rotary device through the pulling ropes. By setting the strength exercising unit and the running exercising unit, the apparatus has the functions of strength exercising and running exercising, provides the functional diversity of fitness equipment, and reduces the cost investment of family fitness equipment.

The climbing machine structure includes a support frame, a first slide rail unit, a second slide rail unit, a first pedal, a second pedal, a first handle, a second handle, and a transmission unit. The first slide rail unit and the second slide rail unit are juxtaposed on the support frame. A first top end of the first slide rail unit and a second top end of the second slide rail unit are lower than an eye position of the operator in the height direction. Thereby, the line of sight of the operator won't be blocked.

An exercise apparatus with oscillating tilt system includes a main frame for supporting all the components of the apparatus, a tiltable upstanding support is tilted oscillating, a mechanism which enabling a user of the apparatus to move hands and feet up and down harmoniously, and another mechanism to change an orientation of the user in relation to the vertical line oscillating during the exercise, and consequently changing the direction of the forces affecting different muscles of the user of the apparatus.

A balance training device is provided. The balance training device may include a rail, a plurality of foot supports slidably coupled to the rail, and at least one balance pad connected to the rail to provide a degree of angular instability. The balance training device may include an adjustment mechanism associated with the rail and each foot support to selectively position each foot support in a desired position along the longitudinal length of the rail. The balance training device may include a base including an adjustable height dimension to provide increasing levels of balance difficulty.
