A treadmill includes a base, a motor disposed on the base, and a motor cover. A side of the base is for disposing with a running belt. Another side of the base has a receiving space and an upper opening communicating with the receiving space. The motor is located in the receiving space for driving the running belt. A side of the motor cover is pivotally connected to the base for closing the upper opening, and another side of the motor cover is manipulable to pivot toward the side of the base disposed with the running belt to open the upper opening, and the motor cover is located above the running belt at this time. Thus, the user can manipulate the motor cover to open or close the upper opening without using tools, and the motor cover can be properly placed above the running belt when the upper opening is opened.

Embodiments of the invention provide a series of tensioning straps that are applied to the trampoline frame under tension. The tensioning straps serve to stiffen the trampoline frame which improves performance. The tensioning straps may be improved via the application of various sideways straps as well. The tensioning straps and the sideways straps may reside in channels or loops on the trampoline edge pad in order to further secure the edge pad in place.

The exercise machine having integrated video gaming system comprises a frame, a seat, pedals, a steering assembly, a display screen, and a controller. The exercise machine having integrated video gaming system may be a device adapted to be used by a user while exercising and may encourage the user to move in a manner that strengthens muscles, increases lung capacity, increases metabolism, or combinations thereof. The seat may be adapted for the user to sit upon while pedaling the pedals. The steering assembly may be adapted to be held and moved by the user while exercising. The display screen may be adapted to present still or moving images to the user while the user exercises. The display screen, the steering assembly, the pedals, or combinations thereof may be operable to interact with the controller as a gaming system.

Trampoline systems containing multiple trampoline jumping surfaces are disclosed. Methods of making and using trampoline systems containing multiple trampoline jumping surfaces are also disclosed.

A safety trampoline, including a trampoline frame, trampoline supporting legs, a jumping mat, springs and an elastic protective sleeve, wherein the jumping mat is connected to the trampoline frame through the springs; a periphery of the jumping mat is connected to connecting rings; the elastic protective sleeve is ring-shaped; a plurality of net holes are formed at a first end of the elastic protective sleeve; the connecting rings pass through the plurality of net holes to clamp the elastic protective sleeve between the springs and the jumping mat; and a second end of the elastic protective sleeve is turned to a bottom of the trampoline frame and an edge thereof is tied to cover upper parts of the springs. Through an arrangement of the elastic protective sleeve, the elastic protective sleeve and the jumping mat, or the elastic protective sleeve, the jumping mat and a trampoline pad are integrally connected.

A volleyball training apparatus has a laterally extending arm supported on a riser. A resilient member such as a spring is operably connected within the arm. The resilient member is connected to a flexible connector, such as a cable, that is connected to a volleyball. A series of spacers retains the volleyball away from the rigid arm. The height of the arm may be adjustable to locate the volleyball at a desired height. After a user strikes the volleyball, the volleyball is displaced from its original static position, but quickly is snapped back into the static position by the resilient member pulling the volleyball toward the arm against the spacers.

An exercise workstation includes a treadmill, a pedal exercise device disposed on or next to the treadmill, and a chair pivotally secured to the exercise workstation. The chair can be repositioned relative to the treadmill, such as above or to the side of the treadmill. A pivot arm is pivotally connected to a pivot joint to permit multiple positional adjustments of the chair. The pivot joint may be connected to the treadmill in fixed or movable position. The exercise workstation may include or be positioned adjacent to one or more work surfaces, such as a height adjustable desk or table.

An exercise apparatus includes a linear arm portion having an elongate arm member with proximal and distal ends and an elongate support member having proximal and distal ends. The arm member can be slidably mounted to the support member by a sliding joint. A linear arm brake assembly can be coupled to the arm member for resisting linear motion of the arm member. A torso portion can be included to which the linear arm portion is rotatably mounted about a second axis by rotary shoulder joint. The linear arm portion can be configured, and the rotary shoulder joint can be positioned along the length of the support member at a location that substantially balances the linear arm portion about the rotary shoulder joint at least when the arm member is in the retracted position.

This application relates to a treadmill. In one aspect, the treadmill includes a frame structure, a track part configured to rotate with respect to the frame structure, and a rotation unit disposed in the frame structure and rotatably supporting the track part. The track part may include a plurality of slats arranged in a rotation direction and a track belt disposed at both end portions of the plurality of slats and connecting the plurality of slats. The rotation unit may include first rotation members disposed in front and rear of the frame structure. At least one of the first rotation members includes a plurality of grooves arranged apart from each other on an outer circumferential surface of the at least one of the first rotation members in a circumferential direction, to have a surface shape different from an inner circumferential surface of the track belt.

A treadmill with an anti-entrapment function allows a user to stand on the treadmill and includes a running unit, a control unit, and a sensing unit. The running unit includes two lateral bases, a driving roller, a driven roller, and a running belt. Each lateral base has a bottom end portion. The sensing unit includes a guard bar pivotally provided at the bottom end portions and at least one sensing member. When the user is accidentally pulled into the gap between the running belt and one of the lateral bases, the guard bar will be subjected to an external force and thus rotated downward about a rotation axis, thereby driving the at least one sensing member to send a warning signal to the control unit, in order for the control unit to control the rotation speed of the driving roller accordingly, lest the user be pulled deeper into the gap.
