An apparatus enabling a user to perform a simulated bicycling exercise includes a frame, two mounting points defining an axis, the two mounting points comprising an upper rear mounting point comprising an upper rear rotating joint and a lower front mounting point comprising a pivoting connection arrangement proximate to and interacting with the frame, the pivoting connection arrangement comprising at least one resistive element configured to provide resistive force returning the frame to a neutral centered orientation from an off-centered orientation and pedals associated with a wheel and the frame, the pedals enabling the user, when facing forward, to apply force to the pedals and rotate the wheel. The frame is configured to receive forces from the user and dissipate the forces into frame leaning forces such that the user has an ability to cause the frame to pivot about the two mounting points by leaning to one side.

A system and method for integration of body movement computer gaming control and brainwave entrainment comprising an attachment device configured to be attached to a portion of a user's body, a sensor attached to or integrated into the attachment device for detecting movement, a stimulation transducer for providing brainwave entrainment therapy, and a tether and actuator for providing feedback to the user about interactions with the virtual or mixed-reality machines or software applications.

A portable, foldable, and manually-powered exercise apparatus including a frame having first rails and second rails. First and second rails receive a first walking surface and second walking surface, respectively. The exercise apparatus includes hinge plates connecting first and second rails and include first legs. The exercise apparatus includes second legs connecting the first rails and support and place first rails at an inclination angle. The exercise apparatus includes first rollers connecting the first rails, and second roller connecting the second rails. The first rollers and second roller receive a tread belt over the first walking surface and second walking surface. User walks/runs on the tread belt causing first rollers and second roller to rotate. The second legs fold, and the hinge plates allow folding of second rails along with the second walking surface underneath the first rails and first walking surface without the first rollers coming into contact with the second roller.

A footrest includes a base plate, two supports and two clipless pedals. The base plate has a first set of adjustment holes arranged in two rows. Each of the supports has a bottom and a pivoting seat. The bottom has two fixing holes corresponding to the first set of adjustment holes in two rows. The pivoting seat has a pivoting hole. Each of the supports is fixed onto the base plate by fastening bolts passing through the fixing holes and selective two of the first set of adjustment holes. The clipless pedals are separately screwed into the pivoting holes.

A system and method for brainwave entrainment therapy that allows for targeted treatment of particular areas of the brain, particular neurological functions, particular neurological states, and combinations of areas, functions, and states. The system and method receive a neurological assessment identifying areas of the brain or neurological functions to be treated, select one or more treatment modalities and frequencies, select a treatment regimen, and apply brainwave entrainment using the modalities, frequencies and regimen while the subject engages in dual-task activities selected to stimulate the areas of the brain, neurological functions, or neurological states to be treated, enhanced, or altered.

A system and method for therapeutic stimulation using virtual objects and gamification, in which multi-modality stimulus is applied using some combination of virtual elements, attention is enhanced by virtue of the user's active participation, and long-term use is encouraged by virtue of the entertaining nature of the gamification. Depending on configuration, the system and method may comprise a display comprising virtual objects, a light-producing device (other than the display), an audio-producing device such as speakers or headphones, a haptic feedback device such as a vibratory motor, a means for monitoring the user's attention, and a software application which applies therapeutic stimulation using some combination of the display, the light-producing device, the audio-producing device, and the haptic feedback device.

An exercise machine handle system for providing a gripping structure that substantially surrounds a stationary or movable exercise platform. The exercise machine handle system generally includes a stationary or movable exercise platform and a perimeter handle surrounding the exercise platform. A space is formed between an outer edge of the exercise platform and an inner edge of the perimeter handle that allows a plurality of fingers of an exerciser to extend through.

An exercise machine support system for providing increased versatility including inclination or declination of an exercise surface, a reduction in the overall length and width of the exercise machine, and an enhanced user interface which reduces the risk of injury. The exercise machine support system generally includes a cantilevered exercise machine which is adapted to have a variable angle of incline or decline with respect to a horizontal ground surface. The exercise machine will generally include a base and a support which extends between the base and the exercise machine. The upper end of the support is connected to the exercise machine by a first pivot such that the exercise machine pivots about the support. An adjustment device may be utilized to pivot the exercise machine and thus adjust its angle of incline. Various types of adjustment devices are disclosed, including an actuator, ratchet-and-pawl, gears, and cam.

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.

The present invention can accurately (precisely) measure the quantity of exercise of a bicycle rider, by comprising: a case which can rotate about a spindle; a top plate which is connected to the case by a pivot shaft and can rotate about the pivot shaft; a displacement generating assembly which is disposed in the case and is connected to the case and the top plate so as to generate displacement according to the rotation of the top plate; and a sensing unit which is connected to the displacement generating assembly so as to sense the displacement.
