An exercise apparatus comprises an exercise apparatus body and an image display connected to a front portion of a frame of the exercise apparatus body. The image display can be moved between a first position and at least one second position via a connecting component. When the image display is located at the first position, a display surface of the image display basically faces substantially rearward, and the center point of the display surface is located in the region of the width in the transverse direction of the exercise apparatus body for a user viewing an image to perform a first exercise by using the exercise apparatus in a first exercise area; and when the image display device is located at the second position, the display surface faces substantially rearward, and the center point of the display surface is located outside the region of the width in the transverse direction of the exercise apparatus body for a user viewing the image to perform a second exercise in a second exercise area which is outside the first exercise area.

A treadmill with a safety monitoring function includes a running unit and a detection unit. The running unit includes a driving roller and a running belt for a runner to stand and run thereon. The detection unit includes a sensor for detecting whether the runner exists at a predefined height on the running belt. The detection unit can be moved to change the predefined height. A safety monitoring function for a treadmill includes adjusting a height of the sensor, detecting whether the runner exists at the predefined height above the running belt, and generating a first monitoring output. Through detecting whether the runner exists at the predefined height, it determines whether the driving roller can be driven by the driving unit to prevent accidental activation by a child. Since the detection unit can be moved to change the predefined height, it allows the use by runners of different body shapes.

A treadmill with a safety warning function includes a miming unit, a driving unit, a detection unit and a control unit. The running unit includes a driving roller and a running belt provided for a runner to stand thereon. The detection unit includes a camera arranged at a predefined height range on top of the running belt for photographing images. The control unit determines a height of the runner based on the images photographed. The safety monitoring method for the treadmill includes obtaining an image above the running belt and determining whether the height of the runner is greater than the predefined height. By determining whether the height of the runner is greater than the predefined height, it is able to determine whether the driving roller can be driven by the driving unit to rotate, thereby preventing the hazard of accidental activation by a child of insufficient height.

A treadmill with safety warning function adapted for a runner to stand and run on, and to detect an object located behind the treadmill. The treadmill includes a running member, a sensor unit, a warning unit and a control unit. The running member includes a pair of side rails and a running belt. The sensor unit includes two sensors which detect toward a rear of the treadmill. Signals of the control unit are connected to the driving unit, the sensor unit and the warning unit. The control unit can determine whether there is an object within a predetermined distance behind the running member based on the detected information of the sensors and further controls the warning unit to send out a first warning when an object is detected. Accordingly, the present invention can detect the object behind the treadmill and remind the runner to enhance user safety.

A treadmill may include a deck, a first pulley incorporated into the deck, a second pulley incorporated into the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, a motor in mechanical communication with at least one of the first pulley and the second pulley to move the tread belt in a first direction, and a runaway mitigation mechanism in at least indirect mechanical communication with the motor. The runaway mitigation mechanism at least mitigates a motor runaway condition.

A treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.

A balance training system including a riding plate; a load distribution sensor; a load sensor; a mobile body on which the riding plate, the load distribution sensor, and the load sensor are disposed; and a control unit configured to calculate a reference position based on positions of feet of a trainee detected by the load distribution sensor, then calculate a center of gravity position of the trainee based on the load detected by the load sensor, and control a movement of the mobile body based on a change of the center of gravity position with respect to the reference position. The control unit is configured to update the reference position based on the changed positions of the feet of the trainee when the change of the position of at least one of the feet of the trainee is detected by the load distribution sensor.
