The exercise machine generally includes a carriage movably positioned with respect to the at least one rail, a plurality of springs selectively connectable to the carriage to provide a resistance level to the carriage, a plurality of electrically actuated mechanical devices adapted to latch a corresponding one of the plurality of springs to the carriage when in the latch state and unlatch a corresponding one of the plurality of springs to the carriage when in the unlatch state and a control unit in communication with the plurality of electrically actuated mechanical devices to selectively control the state of each of the plurality of electrically actuated mechanical devices to be within the latch state or the unlatch state.

A treadmill includes a platform where the platform includes a first side panel and a second side panel spaced apart at a distance from the first side panel, and a gap defined between the first side panel and the second side panel. The treadmill also includes a running deck contained within the platform and exposed within the gap, a first pulley connected to the running deck, a second pulley connected to the running deck opposite the first pulley, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley. A motor is in mechanical communication with at least one of the first pulley or the second pulley. A cover is located over the motor. A scale mechanism is incorporated into the cover over the motor.

An exercise sensing method, an exercise sensing apparatus and an exercise sensing system are provided. The exercise sensing system includes a computing device, a storage device and at least one biophysical quantity sensor disposed on at least one muscle portion of a user. In the method, a current muscle strength of the muscle portion when the user performs an exercise is monitored by the biophysical quantity sensor. An exercise history of the user is accessed to obtain a muscle strength reference value of the muscle portion when the user previously performed the exercise. The current muscle strength is compared with the muscle strength reference value so as to adjust an exercise intensity of the exercise.

A system to determine and dictate individual exercise thresholds to maximize desired neurological responses.

A punch-and-cycle exercise device is described. The device includes a cycling mechanism, a frame to which a punch-pad is attached, a plurality of delineated target zones arranged on the punch pad, a sensor unit that may include an impact sensor, an accelerometer, and a single or plurality of hall effect sensors, each communicatively connected to the target zones. A control unit communicatively connects with the sensors, a punch-pad mounted camera, and a display. Gloves with built in magnets and/or unique markings/visual identifiers interact with the sensors and/or camera and provide data to the controller to track user success at responding with correct puncing form to illuminated and sequenced punching programs while cycling. Output can be displayed locally or on any paired device.

An electro-mechanical displacement exercise apparatus for processing a maximum force potential of an athlete, including a frame a frame including a platform, wherein a section of the platform is connected to a tower, whereby the tower houses control means for manipulating a tension supporting member connected to a force bearing member, a first pull location, whereby the first pull location is positioned on the platform and within the frame and whereby the first pull location is operatively connected with a portion of the tension supporting member, whereby a user may exert a force on the tension supporting member operatively connected to a first actuator; and wherein the first actuator is housed within the tower, and whereby the first actuator includes a motor coupled to a gearbox.

Systems and methods are for production, management, syndication and distribution of digital assets through a network such as the Internet or wireless network. Digital media assets are distributed to consumers through a syndicated network of Outlets under control of a central platform. Distribution is format agnostic. There is a single platform between the B2B2C, wherein a platform allows, through a single access for each stakeholder, the ability to each have control over availability dates and pricing specifications to a plurality of merchants and/or subscription outlets or channels. Subscription channels can support micro-subscriptions with diversely curated and priced offerings, including acceptance of crypto-currency. The delivered media assets may include content associated with an exercise apparatus, including content for an exercise session including computer generated content and computer augmented content created in response to exercise session data.

An intelligent system that automatically adjusting optimal rehabilitation intensity or exercise volume with personalized exercise prescription, comprising: upload the physiological information data measured by registered members to a cloud data integration server through the Internet; an expert diagnostic unit, which can download and use the member's physiological information data from the cloud data integration server. After the diagnosis, a personalized exercise prescription is issued and uploaded to the cloud data integration server; a rehabilitation fitness equipment unit can download the exercise prescription from the cloud data integration server to control and automatically adjust the optimal rehabilitation intensity or exercise volume; after being diagnosed by experts such as doctors, rehabilitators or fitness coaches, the optimal parameter values of a continuously updated artificial intelligence exercise prescription can be used to improve the efficacy of personal rehabilitation or exercise fitness.

The described embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing linear tension to multiple areas of a person to improve training and exercise. The tension can be applied by cables supplied from cable spools that are attached within a resistance assembly. The resistance assembly can be worn as a backpack during exercises, thereby providing a portable means through which tension can be provided to the body. The cables from the resistance assembly can be attached to appendages such as the wrists and legs of the person, and the tension provided by the cables can be adjustable. For instance, the tension can be made non-uniform across the body in order to improve the person's ability to maneuver in situations where there is an imbalance of force on the body.
