A plank support exercise apparatus and related methods is provided. The plank support exercise apparatus has an arm support pad and a hand grip for facilitating a user's achievement of a plank exercise. The apparatus includes an ground-interface surface.

A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.

A balance board, including: an upper plate having a top surface configured for a user to stand on; a base assembly configured to contact the ground; a center assembly pivotally connecting the upper plate with the base assembly; and an adjustable tilt system comprising at least a first adjustable angle stop configured to be rotated at adjustable intervals to change a maximum angle by which the upper plate may be tilted relative to the base assembly. The base assembly may include a first plurality of teeth. In addition, the first adjustable angle stop may include a second plurality of teeth configured to interface with the first plurality of teeth of the base assembly to provide fixation of the first adjustable angle stop at the adjustable intervals.

An exercise device with a base on a support surface and a user platform. One end of a support post is axially mounted to the base and the other end is pivotally mounted to the platform. The platform pivots with the post in a horizontal plane parallel to the support surface and pivots in a vertical plane perpendicular to the support surface. A resistance element having one end mounted to the support post and the other end to the base is provided to control the velocity and angle of pivot of the platform in the horizontal plane. A resistance element having one end mounted to the base and the other end to platform to control the velocity and angle of pivot of the platform in the vertical plane. The user stands on the platform and performs exercise motions to propel the platform in the horizontal plane and the vertical plane.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for generating, by an artificial intelligence engine, an exercise program comprising a first user energy score, wherein the method comprises generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, the exercise program including an exercise plan including a plurality of exercises. Each respective exercise is associated with user energy consumption metrics based at least on a metabolic equivalent of task (MET) value, and based on the user energy consumption metrics, the first user energy score is associated with the exercise program. The method includes receiving data pertaining to a plurality of users. The data includes physical activity goals the plurality of users desires to achieve. The method includes determining second user energy scores for the physical activity goals, and based on the first and second user energy scores, assigning, by the artificial intelligence engine, at least a subset of the plurality of users to the exercise program.

A method of differentially tuning a lower limb muscle in a human in need thereof is provided. The method includes placement of at least two calibrated, differential disturbances or protuberances under the human's feet thereby tuning a lower limb muscle.

A differential air pressure system has a pressure bag with windows and preferred folding configuration such that when the bag is folded no window is folded. The pressure bag is supported by a lift support that is proximal to a user control panel and adjacent to or nearly adjacent to the user who is coupled to the pressure bag. A treadmill base for use with differential air pressure equipment is provided. There are various improvements provided to adapt the operations of the DAP system via the use of separate pressure volume and non-pressure volume portions of the treadmill base. Various improvements to serviceability and repairs are provided by placement of components outside of the pressure volume portion or by providing one or more pressure volume access points.

A vertical oscillation auxiliary platform, wherein a drive mechanism drives an upper cover tread board to make vertical up-and-down movements with a transmission mechanism; when the drive mechanism drives a transmission shaft rotate, the transmission shaft drives lower parts of 8-shaped bearing blocks to rotate eccentrically, and upper parts thereof move horizontally; the 8-shaped bearing blocks drive one end of triangular bearing blocks to move horizontally with horizontal transmission rods, and the triangular bearing blocks, without moving a third end, convert horizontal movements at one end to be vertical movements at another end, and drive finally the upper cover tread board to generate stable vertical oscillation, so that singularity and stability of vertical movements of the upper cover tread board can be promised, and more stable and comfortable feeling and passive exercise effects can be gained, without deteriorating the exercise effects and exercise comfort due to additional disorganized lateral movements.
