A handle 10 for a pole that houses within its body 12 a power means housing 20, the housing 20 having an electrical power storage means 50 where a device can be connected to the handle 10 and supplied with electrical energy from the storage means 50. Due to increased demands of portable electricity, during outdoor activities, the handle 10 allows a means to easily carry and supply electricity for devices.

An exercise apparatus is provided having a handle pivotally attached to a flat base, the base and handle each configured for receiving optional weights, the flat base providing resistance when the handle moves the base along a surface.

A system may include a receiving module and a conversion module. The receiving module may be for receiving location data associating video data depicting a real-world route with topographical location of the real-world route. The conversion module may be for creating an exercise program. The exercise program could include control signals representing changes to be made to one or more operating parameters of an exercise device as the video data depicting the real-world route is displayed to a user of the exercise device. The control signals may be based at least in part on the location data. The changes to the one or more operating parameters may correspond at least in part to one or more aspects of the real-world route.

The present invention relates to a sport stick that measures the driving force generated by the upper body, which is applied to the ground through poles during the natural performance of nordic walking or any other sport, where poles are used to drive/propel the body forward. An inclination sensor along with a pole length sensor (pole length constant in a fixed length pole) has been placed into the pole for the achievement of the most suitable biomechanical performance, i.e. proper technique. The sport pole uses the Global Positioning System along with a topographical map to ensure that the slope of terrain does not affect the inclination sensor measurements. All collected data is analyzed by a control center, wherein correct usage models have been saved along with a collection of the user's anthropometric and fitness levels.

Stiffened thin-walled natural fiber composite product having first fiber yarns (A), each first fiber having a first thickness, and second fiber yarns (B) having a second thickness larger than the first thickness. At least one side of said product is even. Applications for a seat post; a bicycle saddle; a bicycle frame; a bicycle handle bar; a baseball bat; a piece of furniture; a paddle; or a sheet for automotive applications.

A garment that generates resistance against body movement that can be used during exercise, during everyday activities, or during rehabilitation therapy. The garment includes bands providing resistance against the movement of an associated limb. The garment includes a structure to secure the garment to a user during activity.
