A piece of exercise equipment particularly for improved strength training exercises. More particularly, the invention relates to equipment that allows the user to vary tension when performing different exercises. The present invention is specifically designed for improved exercise through the variability of a tension component for use in such exercises as the plank exercise, sit-ups, push-ups and supine pull-ups that includes a core support, a guide arm, a head support, and a foot support that work in conjunction to most optimally support the user. The core support, the head support and the foot support are all connected, supported, and elevated from the floor by a central support system.

A device for physical therapy includes a base on which a sliding platform is mounted. One or more of a plurality of springs may be selected to act between the base and the platform to tailor the resistance of platform motion to a specific therapy or patient. The platform has a removable cushion with a friction inducing surface which a patient may use in conjunction with a friction inducing headband to perform various neck therapies and exercises.

The exercise device of the invention includes a rail carrier body, at least one fixed body in contact with the rail carrier body, at least one rail located on the rail carrier body, at least one movable body located on the rail, at least one adjusting rod located on the upper portion of the movable body and at least one transmission bar which is in contact with the adjusting rod and transmits the rotary motion on the adjusting rod to the fixing pin or rail.

An exercise machine with a two directional pivoting user support assembly has a user support or platform which supports the user and pivots about a first pivot axis during an exercise movement, and is also pivotable about at least one second pivot axis to involve the user's core muscles in balancing and maintaining the user support in a stable position. A manually operable locking device with a simple flip switch lever is provided for selectively locking the user support against rotation about the second pivot axis, so that the user can easily chose whether to perform the exercise with a stable support or to add a level of difficulty by using the unstable seat mode and exercising core muscles during the exercise.

A mini-trampoline is disclosed. In one embodiment, a base support frame is circumferentially offset from a trampoline mat. The base support frame includes a horizontal support frame with vertical support members extending subjacently therefrom. Resilient members circumextend from the trampoline mat to the horizontal support frame. Each of the vertical support members includes a suction cup having a suction cup locking mechanism at a lower end. A support assembly is secured to the base support frame and includes a T-shaped support bar having handles cantilevering toward the trampoline mat.

A load measurement device includes an acquisition unit, a first extraction unit, a second extraction unit, and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires measurement information output from a load distribution sensor that detects a load distribution received from a sole of a subject. The first extraction unit extracts a region having a load value equal to or larger than a first threshold value as a first region based on the measurement information, and detects the first region as a sole region. The second extraction unit extracts a second region having a load value equal to or larger than a second threshold value that is smaller than the first threshold value from a re-extraction target region defined with the first region as a reference, and adds the second region to the sole region. The output unit outputs information related to a load distribution of the sole region.

A walking training system includes a leg orthosis fitted to a leg of a user, a pulling member coupled to the leg orthosis, a first drive mechanism configured to apply pull force to the pulling member, according to walking motion of the user, a holding device that holds the pulling member at a holding level, at a point between a coupling point of the leg orthosis and the first drive mechanism, and a second drive mechanism configured to change the holding level of the pulling member held by the holding device, according to the walking motion of the user.

The invention relates to a handstand training device (10, 100). In order for the user (50) to learn how to do a handstand and to be able to hold the handstand without using any device afterwards, the handstand training device (10) has a base element (11, 111) and a support element (13) with a contact surface (14) for an arm (52).

A treadmill according to the present invention includes: a frame; an endless belt; an endless-belt drive unit; a plurality of cameras provided on the frame such that the orientations and/or locations thereof can be adjusted; a motion-data acquisition unit that markerlessly acquires motion data of a subject by using image information obtained with camera images; a motion analysis unit that analyzes the motion of the subject by using the motion data; and a control unit that controls the endless-belt drive unit based on the motion data.

Embodiments may include a golf swing training apparatus. The golf swing training apparatus may include a mount operable to couple with a fixed object. The golf swing training apparatus may include a mounting collar operable to couple with the mount. The golf swing training apparatus may include an arm operable to be pivotally coupled with the mounting collar. The golf swing training apparatus may include a clamp pivotally coupled with the arm, wherein the clamp is operable to be clamped about a shaft.
