A restraining device used to train a swimmer to swim or used for low impact exercise or physical therapy by keeping the user stationary in a pool and allows the swimmer to switch between a face up and a face down position without stopping, and does not require a large amount of space to utilize nor does it require pool modifications for use, and is easy to use and move.

An exercise device configured to provide for a lifter performing a bent-over row exercise. The exercise device provides lower back support and stability to the lifter. Embodiments of the device may be attachable to an exercise rack or be configured as a standalone device. An embodiment of the exercise device may comprise an adjustable support pad configured to support the chest of a lifter. The adjustable support pad rotates about an axis to optimize comfort and alleviate lower back strain during bent-over row exercises.

An exercise device includes a base defining an inner volume and a top supported by the base, the top defining an aperture. The exercise device further includes a force sensor configured to measure force on the top and a motor disposed within the base and below the top, the motor including a cable extendable through the aperture. The exercise deice further includes a controller communicatively coupled to each of the force sensor and the motor. The controller is adapted to actuate the motor in response to forces applied to the top as measured by the force sensor. The controller may also actuate the motor in response to one or more additional parameters related to the speed or force with which the cable is manipulated (e.g., pulled by a user).

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.

A walking training system according to this embodiment includes a harness, at least three pulling units, and a control unit configured to control the at least three pulling units in such a way that a position of the harness in a horizontal plane becomes a target position. One of the at least three pulling units is a first pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from front of the trainee, another one of the at least three pulling units is a second pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from rear of the trainee, and another one of the at least three pulling units is a third pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from a direction different from the first and second pulling units.

An adapter device for use with an exercise bench for weight lifting is disclosed. The device includes first and second lateral arms, spaced transversely from each other and arranged externally side by side to the respective lateral edges of the exercise bench, and a main resting platform. The lateral arms and the platform define a supporting surface of the subject's body substantially “U”-or “C”-like shaped integrally adaptable in height and width to the exercise bench. The elevation legs of the supporting surface are configured to support the lateral arms and the platform in an elevated position with respect to a walking plane and substantially placed side by side to said bench surface. In use, the supporting surface receives a lateral part of the subject's torso at the lateral arms and the lower limbs of the latter at the platform.

A hopscotch trampoline has a trampoline with a bed suspended across a trampoline frame. The bed has a bed center, a bed middle, and a bed periphery. A trampoline length is greater than a trampoline width. A hopscotch field is formed on the bed. The hopscotch field includes successive areas. The successive areas are at least partially linearly oriented. Contact sensors mounted on each area and the contact sensors are electrically connected by an electrical connection and electrically connected to a control panel harness. A middle crossbar can extend underneath the bed and connecting a right vertical post to a left vertical post.

The present invention relates to a novel treadmill with elastic band aided system to drive the tread belt. The elastic band aided system includes at least one of the foot attachment, hand attachment, and waist attachment. This elastic band aided system can be used in manual treadmills and motorized treadmills.

A walking training system includes a treadmill, a center-of-gravity position detection unit that detects a center-of-gravity position of a trainee from a load received from a sole of the trainee on a belt of the treadmill, a posture detection unit that detects a posture of the trainee, a center-of-gravity position estimation unit that estimates the center-of-gravity position of the trainee from the detected posture of the trainee, a determination unit that determines whether a difference between the detected center-of-gravity position and the estimated center-of-gravity position exceeds a predetermined value, and a notification unit that sends, when the determination unit determines that the difference exceeds the predetermined value, a notification notifying that whether the difference exceeds the predetermined value.

A walking state measurement system includes: an endless belt that defines a walking surface on which a subject walks and that travels along a walking front-rear direction; a marker provided on at least the walking surface along a circumferential direction of the belt; a first camera for taking an image of the subject from front, the first camera taking an image of the marker on the walking surface from above to generate a first image; a second camera for taking an image of the subject from front, the second camera taking an image of the marker on the walking surface from above to generate a second image; and a correction processing unit that corrects an image generated by at least either the first camera or the second camera based on a position of an image area of the marker included in each of the first image and the second image.
