A treadmill with safety warning function adapted for a runner to stand and run on, and to detect an object located behind the treadmill. The treadmill includes a running member, a sensor unit, a warning unit and a control unit. The running member includes a pair of side rails and a running belt. The sensor unit includes two sensors which detect toward a rear of the treadmill. Signals of the control unit are connected to the driving unit, the sensor unit and the warning unit. The control unit can determine whether there is an object within a predetermined distance behind the running member based on the detected information of the sensors and further controls the warning unit to send out a first warning when an object is detected. Accordingly, the present invention can detect the object behind the treadmill and remind the runner to enhance user safety.

A method controls a piece of exercise equipment when a user of the exercise equipment is using a virtual reality headset. The method begins by receiving sensor inputs detecting a position of the user with respect to the exercise equipment. An operational zone of the exercise equipment is then determined. It is then identified when the user is moving toward a warning area within the operational zone of the exercise equipment. The method then sends signals to the virtual reality headset. Based on the signals, the virtual reality headset creates audible and visual outputs to instruct the user to move back fully into the operational zone of the exercise equipment.

Treadmill protective cover and methods of use are disclosed herein. An example system includes a protective cover for a treadmill, a sensor associated with the treadmill or the protective cover, the sensor detecting when an object is near or within an entrapping area between the protective cover and a conveyor of the treadmill, and a controller configured to receive signals from the sensor, the controller allowing the conveyor to freely operate when no objects are sensed within the entrapping area and stopping the conveyor when an object is sensed within the entrapping area.

A method and system for indicating a breathing pattern is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of smart wearable devices, a plurality of mobile devices, an application server and a database. The plurality of smart wearable devices is either connected to the mobile devices or directly connected to the application server. The database is connected to the application server to store the data transmitted by the smart wearable device or the mobile device. The plurality of smart wearable devices is capable of monitoring the health index and identifying the variation in health conditions of the user, in real-time and activating a suitable breathing pattern to normalize such medical condition.

A postural awareness device designed to improve an individual's posture may include a vertical core designed to be positioned vertically along a user's back; a cervical cradle attached to an upper portion of the vertical core, the cervical cradle designed to be positioned in alignment with a user's cervical spine; a thoracic cradle attached to a central portion of the vertical core, the thoracic cradle designed to be positioned in alignment with a user's thoracic spine; and a lumbosacral cradle attached to a bottom portion of the vertical core, the lumbosacral cradle designed to be positioned in alignment with a user's lumbar spine.

An exercise machine (100) used to perform physical activity includes at least one control device (1) which can be actuated by the user to impart a command to the exercise machine (100). The exercise machine (100) includes at least one lighting device (2), the at least one lighting device (2) being positioned on the exercise machine (100) so as to identify the at least one control device (1) with which the exercise machine (100) is provided when the at least one lighting device (2) is lit.

A football yardage chain apparatus for more accurately detecting first downs includes a unit housing having a pole aperture extending from a top side through a bottom side and a channel extending through to the pole aperture from proximal the bottom side to the top side. A pole is coupled through the pole aperture and a chain connector is coupled proximal a bottom end of the pole. A marker bar has a hinge coupled within the channel and swingingly moves between a stored position parallel with the pole and an alternative extended position configured to extend to a height proximal a nose of a football resting horizontally on the ground. A back side of the marker bar lies coplanar with a tangent plane of the pole at a point of union with the chain connector.

Traditional climbing is being sought out by more indoor climbers, however the issue that has arisen is that the only way to learn the method is through trial and error in the outdoors on real rock. An indoor-traditional climbing device (I-TCD) makes it possible to learn how to climb Traditionally in a safe environment with hands on instruction. Provided herein is a cover/shield for an I-TCD that allows not only for the placement of multiple kinds of gear within the I-TCD body, but it allows the climber to fall on that gear placement safely to determine the quality of their gear placement, without the risk of falling upon the I-TCD body. Therefore, the cover/shield provides an angled feature to reduce direct impact injuries while increasing the opportunity for climbers who wish to learn how to climb traditionally.

An interchangeable and weight adjustable golf grip including at least an end cap body having integral receiving ports adapted to receive variable weights, electronic chips, sensors, gauges, lasers, cameras, or biometrics within and wherein the end cap is capable of housing the various weights, chips, sensors, etc. within the end cap so that a player can interchange the weights or sensors without removing the golf grip from the shaft in order to make adjustments and so that the player can play golf without removing any other portions of the grip. Further, the invention includes contemplation of a tip collette with integral receiving ports adapted to also harbor similar weights, or sensors, etc. Data from the sensors may be transmitted by Bluetooth transmission to a smartphone or a ball launch monitor system for analysis.

Provided is a sensor-operated basketball training system that includes a base unit and a satellite unit both providing upright support to the system on a flat surface, each of the base unit and the satellite unit having a leg portion adjustable in a vertical direction to correspond to a height of a user and the satellite unit includes a satellite sensor for emitting a signal(s) and the base unit having a base sensor for receiving signals from the satellite sensor, a retractable drawstring to be extended to connect to the satellite unit in parallel with the signal(s) transmitted to the base unit from the satellite unit, a timer to track time, and a digital counter which counts a total number of times the user performs a basketball operation (e.g., a dribbling operation) and interferes with or blocks the signal transmitted to the base unit during a time period tracked.
