System and method for using drag force data to optimize athletic performance

A method provides for optimizing at least one exercise. The method includes receiving first image data. The first image data includes first pixel data associated with the user performing the exercise at a first time. The method includes receiving second image data. The second image data includes second pixel data associated with the user performing the exercise at a second time. The method includes determining, based on a difference between the first pixel data and the second pixel data, deviation data associated with a profile of the user. The method includes generating outline data based on the deviation data and corresponding to a frontal area of the user. The method may also include determining drag coefficient data based on the frontal area of the user. The method includes determining, based on the outline data and the drag coefficient data, drag force data associated with the user using the exercise device.

GOLF CLUB HEAD UTILIZING INTERNAL ADHESIVE AND METAL COMPOSITE
20220143474 · 2022-05-12 · ·

A golf club head is manufactured to form a cavity where the striking face of the golf club is secured to the sole and upper portion of the golf club head. A weighted composite is manipulated into a predetermined location within the cavity. The composite contains an adhesive which secures the composite within the cavity.

GOLF CLUB WEIGHT ATTACHMENT MECHANISMS AND RELATED METHODS

Embodiments of a golf club head comprising a weight system are described herein. In some embodiments, the golf club head comprises a head body with a multi-density weight in combination with a removable weight. The multi-density weight and the removable weight act in tandem for preferred swingweighting. Other examples and related methods are also described herein.

Squash ball launching machine

An automatic ball launcher includes a ball feed control system that includes a meter wheel with radially-spaced ribs or grooves to selectively block and pass balls to the flywheels of the launcher. The meter wheel rotates to selectively block and release a single ball to pass at a time. The controller of the launcher can be programmed to stop the meter wheel when a ball has been metered by monitoring the current at peak of the motor driving the meter wheel. A meter-event can be determined to have occurred when the current of the drive motor drops to a trough by a pre-set magnitude following a rise to a peak value. A remote control can be provided for the user to operate the launching machine and adjust a plurality of parameters.

Hyperthermic conditioning capsule
11311410 · 2022-04-26 · ·

A self-contained, hyperthermic conditioning unit and selectively controllable environment for exercising. The unit comprises a base portion having a bed therein and a removable cover connected to the base portion to enclose a personal compartment within the unit. One or more heating elements provide heat to the personal compartment and one more pieces of physical exercise equipment are provided within the personal compartment.

Treadmill having attachment module

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.

FLUID STIMULATION METHODS AND DEVICES FOR TREATING FLUID OVERLOAD
20230240937 · 2023-08-03 ·

Methods for treating fluid overload in a subject comprise shifting fluids directly and non-invasively from an interstitial compartment of the subject to skin of the subject through controlled local sweating. Methods of the invention allow for removal of excess fluid from the interstitial compartment of the subject and treat fluid overload in the subject. Sweat stimulation systems comprise a chamber and first and second relative humidity sensors. The chamber is sized to fit around a body part of a subject, comprises an inlet and an outlet, and is configured such that air flows through the chamber from the inlet to the outlet. The first relative humidity sensor is operably located inside the inlet, and the second relative humidity sensor is operably located proximate the outlet.

WORKOUT MAT

Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for a connected workout mat to create sensory experiences. A connected mat has at least one input device to receive input data and at least one output device that synchronises with content through a digital content platform. A hardware processor generates digital output for the digital content platform or physical sensory output at the connected mat based on the input data from the connected mat and instructor input. Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for a workout mat with at least one heating region to create sensory experiences based on input data.

Golf club weight attachment mechanisms and related methods

Embodiments of golf club weight attachment mechanisms are described herein. In some embodiments, a golf club head comprises a head body with an interior cavity, a shell portion, and a bracket with a weight member coupled to the bracket. In one embodiment, the bracket and the weight member can be configured to be fully contained within the interior cavity. Other examples and related methods are also described herein.

Exercise device
11185733 · 2021-11-30 · ·

An exercise device is provided with a first element disposed at a first side and a second element disposed at a second side. The first element includes gripping features to prevent skidding or sliding of exercise device when first element is abutting a surface. The second element includes sliding features to facilitate sliding of exercise device when second element is abutting the surface. Thus, when an exercise practitioner desires to use the exercise device to prevent movement of a particular body part against the surface, the practitioner places the first element against the surface. Conversely, when the exercise practitioner desires to use the exercise device to facilitate movement of a particular body part against the surface, the practitioner places the second element against the surface. The exercise device further includes an insert which may be removed and heated or cooled to provide heating or cooling pad/pack to a body part.
