A game table and to a game equipment for playing a ball game with legs. The game table includes a table top structure with a see-through table top surface. The table top structure has a first and second table top ends and a first and second table top sides extending between the first and second table top ends. The game table further includes a first table side wall and a second table side wall extending downwards from the table top structure. The first and second table side walls being arranged to form a channel-like game space together with the table top structure, the channel-like game space having a first opening and a second opening at opposite ends of the channel-like game space.

An exercise apparatus includes first and second elastic, elongate cables each having a first end portion configured to be grasped by a user, and a second end portion configured to be detachably coupled to one another. The cables are together configured to provide resistance to being stretched along their lengths in response to an application of a tension force and return to their unstretched lengths upon the user releasing the tension force. The first cable has a first elasticity, and the second cable has a second elasticity that is different than the first elasticity of the first cable.

An exercise device includes a base defining an inner volume and a top supported by the base, the top defining an aperture. The exercise device further includes a force sensor configured to measure force on the top and a motor disposed within the base and below the top, the motor including a cable extendable through the aperture. The exercise deice further includes a controller communicatively coupled to each of the force sensor and the motor. The controller is adapted to actuate the motor in response to forces applied to the top as measured by the force sensor. The controller may also actuate the motor in response to one or more additional parameters related to the speed or force with which the cable is manipulated (e.g., pulled by a user).

An active suspension orthotic support system is disclosed. The suspension orthotic support system comprises at least one variable resistance beam extending from a heel section to a mid-arch section of the footwear, wherein rotation of the variable resistance beam from a first position to a second position causes a resistance provided by the variable resistance beam to vary between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance.

In one embodiment a fitness device is disclosed. The fitness device may include a central handle having a body with a central aperture through the body. The device may also include a first rod removably coupled to the central handle at a first location and a second rod removably coupled to the central handle at a second location, opposite the first location. The device may also include an elastic member having a first end and a second end, the first end being coupled to the first rod and the second end being coupled to the second rod.

A game equipment and seat for a game table. The game table includes a table top structure and a first and second table side wall structure extending downwards from the table top structure arranged to form a channel-like game space having a first opening and a second opening at opposite ends of the channel-like game space. The game equipment includes a first seat arranged in connection with the first opening and a second seat arranged in connection with the second opening. The first seat is supported in vertical direction to first and second table support legs at the first opening and the second seat is supported in vertical direction to the first and second table support legs at the second opening.

The present invention is directed at a novel portable fitness device used for conducting strength training exercises. The device comprises a foldable frame that can hold exercise accessories inside the device while the device is folded. The device further comprises an anti-slide plate and anchor slots wherein at least one resistance band can be locked into the anchor slots. The resistance bands may connect to handles or a bar and the resistance bands may offer up to 300 pounds of resistance. The foldable frame doubles as a carrying case.

Disclosed is a machine that functions by a human subject standing on a stationary base with one foot on the base and the other foot on a pedal. The foot on the pedal is positioned such that the hip and knee joints are in the flexed position. On command, the human subject will force the flexed hip and knee joints to full extension. The full extension is followed by relaxation of the engaged muscles allowing the elastic bands to force the hip and knee joints back to the flex position (or starting position). This action is repeated for as many times as is possible within a given period of time. Upright bars (support structure) allow the individual to stabilize themselves during the action. Adjustments can be made to the pedal height of the machine in order to allow proper training for human subjects who differ in height.

The present invention is directed at a resistance band for use with a fitness device. The resistance band may comprise a hollow tube made of an elastic material, a plurality of balls inserted inside of hollow tube at user-determined intervals, and elastic covers enclosing the protrusions caused by the balls. A position of a given protrusion may be adjusted by stretching a corresponding elastic cover, moving a corresponding ball, and contracting the corresponding elastic cover. The intensity and location of resistance in a workout may be chosen by adjusting the position of a protrusion or locking a different protrusion into an anchor slot on the fitness device.

A stretch band or cord exercise apparatus comprises a flat planar base having a plurality of connection elements around a portion of a perimeter thereof. Stretch bands, bungee cords, or other similar stretch cord or band, may be attached, hooked, tied to, or otherwise disposed on one or more of the plurality of connection elements and utilized for one or more exercises by a user standing on or adjacent to the apparatus. The apparatus may be disposed on a floor, or may be attached to a different horizontal surface, such as a raised platform, a table, or even a ceiling, or may be attached to a vertical surface. Methods of using the same are further provided.
