Exercise machines having a resistance fan that directs air for cooling a user

An exercise machine has a supporting frame; a resistance fan on the supporting frame, the resistance fan being configured to provide an amount of resistance to a user of the exercise machine; a housing enclosing the resistance fan, the housing having a plurality of openings through which air from the resistance fan is directed towards the user of the exercise machine; and a shroud on the housing. The shroud is movable with respect to the plurality of openings so as to redirect the air from the resistance fan without changing the amount of resistance provided to the user of the exercise machine.

EXERCISE ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, EXERCISE ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND EXERCISE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

An exercise assistance system includes an arithmetic circuit, a core temperature sensor that measures a core temperature of a subject, a heart rate sensor that measures a heart rate of the subject, and a display device. The arithmetic circuit is configured to cause the display device to present actions to be taken by the subject, based on the core temperature of the subject measured by the core temperature sensor and the heart rate of the subject measured by the heart rate sensor.

Garment system including at least one sensor and at least one actuator responsive to the sensor and related methods

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a garment system including at least one sensor and at least one actuator that operates responsive to sensing feedback from the at least one sensor to cause a flexible compression garment to selectively constrict or selectively dilate, thereby compressing or relieving compression against at least one body part of a subject. Such selective constriction or dilation can improve muscle functioning or joint functioning during use of motion-conducive equipment, such as an exercise bike or rowing machine.

EXERCISE SYSTEM
