The Core Trike also includes at least one swiveling wheel which allows the device to rapidly course correct and follow the user's movement with ease and accuracy. The “T” shape allows for the wheels to be attached in a triangular pattern. The bottom of the “T” is the front of the Core Trike while being used with the feet, which is the primary use. Since the bottom of the “T” is narrow, it fits between the user's legs with minimal potential for unwanted contact with the user's legs, while providing an attachment point for a swiveling wheel.

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.

Ergonomic Pull Handle and Associated Exercise Methods

Номер: US20130303349A1
Автор: David Kristiansen
Принадлежит: Individual

A pull handle that is ergonomically designed to avoid unnatural stresses on the user's body through the range of motion is disclosed. The invention enables a user to perform exercises that cannot be accomplished with existing handles or may be more difficult to do so. These objects are achieved by providing one or more axes of rotation or flexibility in the pull handle so that the user's hand, wrist and/or arm (or foot, ankle and/or leg) may bend and/or rotate more naturally through the user's range of motion.

Exercise machine for muscle speed and explosiveness

Номер: US20140100083A1
Автор: Dak Brandon Steiert
Принадлежит: Individual

As shown in FIG. 1 the exercise machine of the preferred embodiments includes a mechanical force input interface 1 designed to interface with a user 5 and allow the user 5 to input force 4 into the exercise machine; a force resistor 2 that functions to resist force input into the mechanical force input interface 1 by a user 5 ; and a trigger mechanism 3 that functions to cause a sudden change in the resistance provided against the force input 4 by the user 5 . The exercise machine of the preferred embodiments is designed to exercise muscles in a way that improves muscle speed, explosiveness, or both. Sudden is defined by the Oxford dictionary as “occurring or done quickly and unexpectedly or without warning”—given human reaction times of roughly 500 milliseconds the force reduction is expected to take place in under roughly 500 milliseconds. This is only described as a minimum effective time for sudden operation, not to provide an optimal range of operation. The reduction in force should take place quickly enough that the user will not easily react and reduce their force output, which would be roughly under 500 milliseconds. This exercise machine is does not operate in the same mode or with similarities to a spotting device or machine.

The Power Arc Exercise Device is a portable, lightweight exercise device that strengthens the muscles used in sports requiring strong rotation of the body. Examples of sports that require strong rotation of the trunk and hips include baseball batting, golf and tennis. The Power Arc Exercise Device uniquely exercises the exact muscles used to produce rotation. The Power Arc Exercise Device also provides resistance to the muscles of rotation in an optimum direction. The optimum direction of resistance for any exercise device is a ninety degree angle to the direction of the body's movement. Exercise bands provide linear resistance only to movement that is in a rotary direction and as such do not provide effective resistive exercise. The Power Arc Exercise device enables athletes to maximally strengthen muscles used to develop power and control in their individual sport In addition to strengthening the core muscles of the trunk and hip, the Power Arc Exercise Device also provides strengthening for the arm and hand muscles. 1. A power arc exercise device comprising:a. A base which can be secured to a door for use and also removed when not in useb. A curved track holding a resistance springc.
