Exercise apparatus for balance and strength training that enables a user to perform push and pull oriented exercises with the user's hands or feet against the apparatus. Includes a pivot space, for example a slot or area or area with higher or lower areas, wherein the pivot space is configured to couple with a pivot element, for example a ball, cylinder, wheel or any other type of element that may move with respect to the pivot space and exercise interface. The movable pivot element enables force and hence torque required to balance to differ on each side of the apparatus. For example, a user with an injured shoulder may desire to utilize more force to balance during a push-up with the uninjured shoulder and less force and more range of motion to balance with the injured shoulder.

A swing training device and system that includes a rotating light source or sequence of LED lights that are used to simulate the movement of a pitched ball along a horizontal line. The device may be used in conjunction with training systems designed to develop proper swing mechanics. The device may be set up as a stand alone unit supported by it own frame. The swing training device will help develop visual skills by using the eyes to track a light source along a path to the ball such that a bat or striking object hits the ball at the same time the moving light intersects or passes over the ball. The light source will rotate or repeat at a user controlled frequency such that the user may continue to practice and drill for proper swing mechanics. The swing training device will provide user feedback as to the timing quality of the swing noting weather the swing was early, on-time (ball was hit at the same time moving light intersected with ball), or late. The feedback may be provided with an audible sound, a digital readout (of yellow, red and green lights) and/or with a digital score. The information could be stored electronically such that it may be downloaded to, or by wireless transmission to external devices and used to track progress on swing quality over time for players and coaches.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable-incline climbing wall. The climbing wall comprises one or more climbing panels supported by a frame and a system for adjusting the incline of the frame to provide a climbing wall of a desired incline. The incline of the climbing wall may be adjusted by activating an actuator, which extends the upper portion of the frame a distance from a support wall, tilting the climbing wall to a desired incline. When the climbing wall is substantially vertically oriented, the system for adjusting the incline of the climbing wall may extend only a small distance from the support wall so that the adjustable-incline climbing wall has a relatively small footprint. In some embodiments, the climbing wall may also comprise one or more fitness accessories that can brought to an optimal height for a particular user through adjustment of the climbing wall incline.

Dead Blow Weight Control System

Номер: US20160051856A1
Автор: David Helbig, Jeffrey Breitkreutz
Принадлежит: Fluorotek Usa Inc

The present invention provides for a weightlifting device as it pertains to the fitness equipment industry. In an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a new type of weight to be used in weightlifting. One embodiment provides for a weight plate to be used on barbells. Other configurations are possible, including a fixed-weight dumbbell, a weight plate to be added to the bar of an adjustable dumbbell, a kettlebell, or other weightlifting apparatus. In an embodiment, each weight is manufactured to have an hollow insert in the center of the weight. The hollow insert is filled with a specified volume of relatively high mass flowable material, such as lead shot. When the barbell is dropped, the flowable material shifts within the hollow insert and limits the rebound. In this way, the force of the impact is transmitted solidly to the floor, thus dampening the impact. This feature of dampening the rebound of a device upon impact by utilizing a flowable material within a hollow chamber in the device is sometimes referred to as “dead blow.” The hollow insert may comprise a either a single large chamber for the flowable filler material or have multiple ports through which the flowable filler material is inserted. An additional function of the flowable filling is to help to control the accuracy of the actual required weight of the finished product.
