A workout system is provided that includes a piece of furniture having at least a backrest and a seat. A chair workout machine is provided coupled to the piece of furniture. The chair workout machine includes a support frame coupled to at least one structure of the piece of furniture. At least one rotatable arm is rotatably attached to the support frame. One or more resistance elements are coupled to the at least one rotatable arm, where the resistance elements arranged to provide resistance to movement by at least one body part of a user.

In one example, a muscle exercise device includes a first arm, a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, and the second arm and first arm configured to cooperatively define a recess. The muscle exercise device also includes a resistance element configured to reside in the recess and be compressed between the first arm and the second arm, and a wireless transmitter disposed in either the first arm or the second arm, wherein the wireless transmitter is responsive to communications from an app residing on a user device.

Disclosed is a posture coaching method for weight training, which includes sensing an exercising motion of a user by a sensor module that is attached to a part of the body of the user or exercise equipment gripped by the user for exercising; calculating an inherent angle of the sensor module and a linear acceleration of each axis of a user-based coordinate system based on the user by using the sensed value; analyzing an exercising posture of the user by detecting and classifying a pattern of the linear acceleration and the inherent angle; and generating exercising posture correction data based on the classified pattern.

A system for monitoring the symmetry of a lifting stance, the system including: a platform for supporting a weightlifter during a lift, the platform including support plates which include load sensors; a processor in data communication with the one or more load sensors for receiving and processing weightlifter load data, the processor configured to assess weightlifter symmetry data against a symmetry threshold to provide a symmetry result; and an output module for informing the weightlifter of the symmetry result. Also described is a method for monitoring the symmetry of a lifting stance, including the steps of: receiving data from one or more load sensors on one or more support plates on a weightlifting platform to process weightlifter load data; processing weightlifter load data to provide weightlifter symmetry data; assessing weightlifter symmetry data against a symmetry threshold to provide symmetry result data; and displaying the symmetry result data.

In one example, a muscle exercise device includes a first arm and a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, and the second arm and the first arm are configured to cooperatively define a recess having a shape that changes as one of the first arm and the second arm moves toward, or away from, the other of the first arm and the second arm. The muscle exercise device further includes a resistance element configured to reside in the recess and be compressed between the first arm and the second arm so as to assume a configuration similar to the shape of the recess. Finally, a wireless transmitter chip is disposed in either the first arm or the second arm, and the wireless transmitter chip is responsive to communications from an app residing on a user device.

A training system having a support structure, where the support structure includes two or more supports forming a tunnel shape, resulting in two or more openings in the structure. The supports of the support structure also having one or more adjustment mechanisms and skin pieces. The supports, the ground, and a boundary wall defining an inner training area. The inner training area being adjustable in volume.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a soccer system. The soccer system includes a display screen, a plurality of sensors configured to generate sensor data regarding a shot attempt of a user, imaging devices configured to generate image data of the shot attempt, a speaker, and a control unit. The control unit can receive (i) the sensor data from the plurality of sensors and (ii) the image data from the imaging devices. Based on the received sensor data, the control unit can determine whether the shot attempt was successful. Based on the received image data and whether the shot attempt was successful, the control unit can generate analytics that indicate characteristics of the user and the shot attempt and recommendations for improving the shot attempt for subsequent shot attempts. The control unit can provide output data representing the analytics.

A posture and movement training garment 100 comprises at least one elastic element 1-22 arranged to be stretched upon movement of the wearer's trunk and/or at least one of the wearer's limbs away from a predetermined rest or neutral position, thereby to provide the wearer with gentle elastic recoil sufficient to provide the wearer with additional kinaesthetic and/or touch feedback resulting from the movement, substantially without inhibiting the movement. A complementary sports training or physiotherapy garment 300 comprises a fabric base and pockets 50-55 for the reception of weights, the garment further comprising strips of relatively inextensible material 67 forming a network interconnecting the base material within the pockets, in which the majority of the strips run generally longitudinally of the wearer's limbs and torso and form a branched network with bases mainly originating at the wearer's shoulders and/or hips; and wherein the network does not completely encircle the wearer's limbs and torso. The weights may comprise a body 220 formed from an elastomer, in which the body contains an embedded plurality of pieces 216 of a harder, denser material, each piece having a minimum dimension of at least 1.5 mm and in which the individual pieces are movable relative to one another, whereby the body retains its flexibility.

A trampoline support handle system with which trampolines, in particular mini or smaller versions can be held in place during use and offer a height adjustable handle for the user to steady themselves during exercise or use, by inserting the existing legs of the trampoline into hollow tubes mounted on a frame that seats underneath the trampoline on the floor and also presents a hollow tube into which an extendable and height adjustable long handle bar is provided, the combination pertaining to a more robust and long lasting solution to handle systems.

A non-limiting example training instrument comprises a hollow main body formed of an aluminum alloy. The main body is constituted by two gripping portions opposite to each other with a space therebetween and a coupling portion coupling the two gripping portions. A load sensor is arranged in the coupling portion inside the main body. The load sensor is a load cell, a strain gauge affixed to an interior of the main body, and a part of the main body to which the strain gauge is affixed functions as a strain body. Therefore, if a user applies a force so as to bring the two gripping portions close to each other or a force so as to move the two gripping portions away from each other, a load thereof is detected by the load sensor.
