An exercise device includes a housing and an internal frame disposed within the housing. The exercise device includes a dampening system that includes a dampening block coupled to a web of the internal frame disposed within the housing. The exercise device includes a motor having a motor casing and a shaft with the shaft supported and rotationally fixed by the dampening block. The exercise device may include a cable pulley coupled to the motor casing such that, when the motor is actuated, each of the motor casing and the cable pulley rotate to extend the cable from or retract the cable into the housing. Among other things, the dampening block attenuates vibrations produced by the motor during actuation, improving performance of the exercise device and enhancing user experience.

Aspects involve an exercise system in which various methods may be practiced. The exercise system facilitates a method of controlling an exercise on a motorized exercise device where the method involves, at a remote computing device, accessing an exercise template including fields associated with an exercise, obtaining a first exercise definition from matching the first exercise template with a first of a plurality of predefined exercises, and providing an exercise definition to a local device for controlling a motorized exercise device, the exercise definition based on matching the exercise template with a first of a plurality of predefined exercises, the exercise definition including a parameter associated with a resistance force that will be used to control a motor of the motorized exercise device when the first exercise is performed at the exercise device.

A rehabilitation system using an artificially intelligent horseback-riding apparatus for hippotherapy, the system comprising: an artificially intelligent horseback-riding apparatus which is ridable; a smartphone which can communicate with a cloud server and has installed an application for controlling the operation state of the artificially intelligent horseback-riding apparatus and operating the horseback-riding apparatus; a diagnostic device which is for diagnosing the state of a patient by means of a brain wave signal of the patient; an operating unit which is for operating the artificially intelligent horseback-riding apparatus; and a cloud server which is for storing, in the smartphone, treatment program and data, necessary for a patient treatment, and for transmitting same.

A system for a treadmill with a tread that rotates on front wheels supported on a front axle and rear wheels supported on a rear axle includes a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a first device associated with one of the front axle or the rear axle and configured to prevent rotation of respective front wheels or rear wheels in a first direction and a second device associated with another of the front axle or the rear axle and configured to prevent rotation of the respective front wheels or rear wheels in a second direction opposite the first direction. The system also includes a controller and a sensor configured to detect a user on the tread. The controller is configured to, in response to the sensor detecting no user on the manual treadmill, engage the locking mechanism to prevent movement of the front wheels and the rear wheels.

A sports ball position reckoning system, comprising instrumentation in a sports ball that allows one or more players to be electronically located on a playing field or court each time a goal attempt is made. The instrumentation is configured to fit through the opening of an inflation port of the ball when the fill valve is removed. The system works in conjunction with a performance monitor system that detects ball interactions with a goal and is used to trigger the system to analyze the ball flight path just prior to the goal interaction. Player position is ascertained through the localization of the initial position of the ball's flight path. For multiple players, each player is pre-assigned a uniquely marked ball. The identity of the player who executed the attempt is determined through the player's association with the ball that executed the flight path towards the goal.

Provided is an artificial intelligence (AI) workout guide apparatus including a personal maximum weight (PMW) estimator configured to estimate PMW.sub.estimation of fitness equipment to be used by a user, based on an estimated muscular strength value calculated based on user data, and a PMW guider configured to provide PMW.sub.individual for the fitness equipment by complementing the PMW.sub.estimation with an individual objectification index of the user.

A method comprises detecting, by one or more processors of a wearable device, a tag identifier of a tag located on exercise equipment. The method also comprises selecting, from a memory of the wearable device, an algorithm from a plurality of stored algorithms responsive to the algorithm having a stored association with the tag identifier and receiving, from a sensor of the wearable device, movement data of a user performing an exercise associated with the exercise equipment. The method may also comprise executing the selected algorithm using the received movement data as input and determining, when the user has completed one repetition of the exercise based on the execution of the selected algorithm using the received movement data. The method may also comprise transmitting a record comprising repetition movement data that was received during the one repetition to a remote computing device.

A user interface for an interactive exercise system includes a display module held by a mechanical support system, with the display module able to display a video of a trainer. The trainer can be presented in full body view against a black background and a mirror element attached to at least partially cover the display module.

A system and method are configured to adjust the tidal volume of the breathing of a subject. The subject is self-ventilating (breathes under her own power). The adjustment of tidal volume accomplished through use of the system and/or method may reduce hypertension (e.g., lower blood pressure), reduce stress and/or anxiety (and related maladies), improve relaxation, decrease sleep latency, improve sleep quality, address other sleep disorders, and/or provide other health benefits. The system and method are effective in adjusting tidal volume while the subject is awake and/or asleep.

The invention relates to social activities typically based on physical manipulation of objects to achieve an objective common to the participants or to allow participants to engage in distinct activities on a shared field of play, part of which is physical and part of which is virtual and rendered on one or more displays. The invention provides a system and method to enable multiple participants (users) to engage in the activity sequentially or simultaneously, based on the context and objectives of the game. The activity includes one or many shared physical environments modeled on a computing system and displayed, in high fidelity, by one or more projectors or screens.
