An exercise apparatus includes a frame and a load mechanism disposed on the frame. The load mechanism has a plurality of selectable weights with each of the selectable weights having an associated indicator device. A press is mechanically coupled to the load mechanism to displace a load based on a selected weight and a sensor is disposed to measure an extent and speed of displacement of the load. A processor is in communication with the sensor, and the processor is configured to determine an indicator signal to send to the indicator device of one of the plurality of selectable weights of the load mechanism based on received performance data, the indicator signal used to indicate which one of the plural of weights to select.

A head guard is provided. The head guard includes one or more sensors as part of an sensory input and communications system. The head guard wirelessly communicates data to remote computing devices for intelligent data collection.

The present invention relates to systems, methods, and apparatus that facilitate exercise in vehicles. In particular, the present invention provides active exercise in passenger and navigation areas in vehicles by incorporating force sensors in the environment surrounding the passenger and/or navigator in the vehicle. The present invention applies the principles of isometric training and interacts with a remote or on-board computer platform to track, measure and provide instruction to the passage and/or navigator engaged in such isometric training.

An exercise machine monitoring and instruction system for the movement of an element of an exercise machine by an exerciser and providing automated feedback to the exerciser to help improve the exercise in real-time. The exercise machine monitoring and instruction system generally includes an exercise machine having a movable element that moves between a first position and a second position in a reciprocating manner, a sensor that detects a real-time position of the movable element, a processor in communication with the sensor to receive the real-time position data from the sensor related to a position of the movable element and a feedback device in communication with the processor that provides real-time instructions to the exerciser on how to adjust their workout to achieve a desired result.

A treadmill includes a platform where the platform includes a first side panel and a second side panel spaced apart at a distance from the first side panel, and a gap defined between the first side panel and the second side panel. The treadmill also includes a running deck contained within the platform and exposed within the gap, a first pulley connected to the running deck, a second pulley connected to the running deck opposite the first pulley, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley. A motor is in mechanical communication with at least one of the first pulley or the second pulley. A cover is located over the motor. A scale mechanism is incorporated into the cover over the motor.

A walking training system includes a treadmill configured to prompt a trainee to walk, a display device installed such that the trainee views the display device while walking on the treadmill, a camera configured to image the trainee at an angle of view at which a gait of the trainee is recognizable, a calculation unit configured to calculate a tilt of a body core of the walking trainee based on an image captured by the camera, and a display control unit configured to control the display device to display a body core line associated with the tilt, and an index indicating at least an end of a permissible range of a deflection of the body core line.

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.

An exercise equipment device includes an exercise device body including a load applying unit configured to add, reduce, or maintain a load according to a set exercise level, a user manipulation unit moving according to a movement of a user, and a load transmitting unit configured to transmit the load applied by the load applying unit to the user manipulation unit, a sensor configured to detect movement information of the user manipulation unit, a user input unit configured to input user information, and a processor configured to determine a first user motion range based on a detection result of the sensor and the user information, wherein the processor is further configured to determine the first user motion range based on the user information, an upper limit movement range and a lower limit movement range.

A recommended distance provision method for providing a recommended distance in consideration of characteristics of wind by a distance recommendation device for golf is proposed. The method includes calculating a horizontal distance, a vertical distance, and the recommended distance of a shot, which are distances to a target without considering an influence of the wind, on the basis of measurement information including a straight-line distance to the target and an inclination to the target, calculating a horizontal distance correction value for the horizontal distance on the basis of information on a wind direction and a wind speed, calculating an adjusted landing angle for a preset landing angle on the basis of the information on the wind direction and the wind speed, and calculating an additional distance correction value, and calculating a final recommended distance by adding the calculated additional distance correction value and the horizontal distance correction value.

A distance recommendation device for golf is proposed. As a method for providing a recommended distance from a ball to a target at a third location by the distance recommendation device for the golf, there is provided a distance recommendation method that includes obtaining position information of the ball positioned in each hole, obtaining position information of the target positioned in each hole, and generating a recommended shot distance from the ball to the target on the basis of the obtained information.
