A chin-up/pull-up exercise apparatus is disclosed. The exercise apparatus includes a frame, an overhead assist module, and a chin bar. The chin bar is connected to the frame. The overhead assist module includes a set of pulleys, a harness, and a counter-weight. The set of pulleys, which is connected to the frame, is positioned vertically above the chin bar. The counter-weight is connected to the harness via a cable traveling on the set of pulleys. The exercise machine enables real, full arm extension pull ups regardless of one's upper body strength with applications for physical therapy; physical exercise training; muscle, tendon, and joint rehabilitation; and upper and lower body strength building.

A limbs cooperation exerciser and a control method for the same are provided. The limbs cooperation exerciser includes a frame, an upper limb exercise mechanism, a first driving module, a lower limb exercise mechanism, a second driving module, a first rotating speed sensor, a second rotating speed sensor, and a control module. The control module controls at least one of the first driving module and the second driving module according to the first rotating speed and the second rotating speed, making a differential value between the detected first rotating speed and the second rotating speed be smaller than or equal to a predetermined differential value. That is, the limbs cooperation exerciser controls the rotation of the first operating member or the second operating member to lower the difference between the rotating speeds of the first operating member and the second operating member.

An exoskeleton comprising a right hip attachment, a left hip attachment, a belt and a leaf-spring. The leaf-spring configured to couple two hips and apply torque from one respective hip to another respective hip based on the runner's movement and a right gear mechanism and a left gear mechanism, the right gear mechanism and the left gear mechanism comprising respectively of rack-and-pinion mechanism and configured to change an arch of the leaf-spring.

A walking training system includes a treadmill configured to prompt a trainee to walk, a display device installed such that the trainee views the display device while walking on the treadmill, a camera configured to image the trainee at an angle of view at which a gait of the trainee is recognizable, a calculation unit configured to calculate a tilt of a body core of the walking trainee based on an image captured by the camera, and a display control unit configured to control the display device to display a body core line associated with the tilt, and an index indicating at least an end of a permissible range of a deflection of the body core line.

An exercise and therapeutic device includes a treadmill comprising a running belt coupled to a treadmill frame and an offloading system coupled to the treadmill. The offloading system includes an air chamber surrounding the running belt adapted to be selectively inflated between a deflated condition and an inflated, operating condition, a user seal coupled to the air chamber, adapted to receive a user so that, in an operating condition, at least a portion of a user is received in the user seal and positioned within the air chamber and to seal the air chamber around the user, a pump operable to inflate the air chamber, at least one strap coupled to the treadmill frame and adapted to restrict the expansion of the air chamber and adjust a spacing of the user seal relative to a running surface of the running belt when the air chamber is inflated.

Provided herein are embodiments of a barbell spotting apparatus having all the benefits of a free-floating, unconstrained barbell in both the horizontal and vertical axes with the safety of a dedicated spotting mechanism, while addressing safety, noise, and space concerns raised by typical barbell apparatus. The embodiments herein permit a loaded barbell to be positioned in line with the axis of motion of the lift to be performed at both the beginning and end of the lift.

An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, first and second pull cables supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, a power rack attached to the frame, first and second handles selectively attachable to the first and second pull cable, and first and second pulleys. The power rack includes upright posts configured to have barbell holders adjustably attached thereto such that the barbell holders are configured to be adjusted in various positions between highest positions and lowest positions on the upright posts. The pulleys are configured to selectively receive the pull cables to enable the pull cables to be selectively attached to a barbell to assist or hinder a user in lifting the barbell in a combined cableand free weight workout, the pull cables decoupled from the pulleys for cable workouts.

A pedal drive system, in particular for an electric vehicle or a training apparatus, and for generating electrical power from muscle power of a user with at least one pedal and an electric generator, connected mechanically with said at least one pedal, is provided. To improve the haptic feel and feedback at the pedal, a control unit is provided for controlling a feedback torque, applied at said pedal, wherein the control unit comprises a haptic renderer, configured for control of said feedback torque based on at least one user-defined pedal reference trajectory.

The present disclosure provides a training device and a utilizing method thereof. The training device includes a main assembly and a first attachment assembly. The main assembly includes a housing and a driving component. The driving component is disposed in the housing. The first attachment assembly includes a first rod and a first attachment component. An end of the first rod is connected to the driving component. The driving component drives the first rod to rotate. The first attachment component is disposed on the first rod and attaches to a user.

A seated treadmill has a structure with a front portion and a rear portion. A front roller is rotatably mounted on the front portion of the structure, a rear roller is rotatably mounted on the rear portion of the structure, and a belt circumscribes the front and rear rollers. The front and rear rollers are much closer together than prior art treadmills, typically about 10-30 inches. The treadmill may further include a remote control for controlling operation of the treadmill, and a shutoff switch in the event that too much force is placed upon the treadmill, such as if the user attempts to stand on the treadmill.
