92 EXERCISE SYSTEM AND METHOD US14379079 2013-02-18 US20150327804A1 2015-11-19 Joris LEFEVER; Daniel BERCKMANS; Vasileios EXADAKTYLOS; Jean-Marie AERTS
We here describe an exercise system and control method thereof to obtain exercise protocols relating to the individual user's optimal exercise intensity. The system and method comprise the monitoring of the transition between the aerobic and anaerobic training zones and an estimate of the maximal lactate steady state, which is an important physiological indicator of the user's cardio respiratory fitness. Together with individual models of how the user's heart rate responds to exercise intensity, it is possible to predict the needed exercise intensity that should be performed to obtain the wanted exercise goal. The analysis can (preferably) be performed in real-time during exercise.

95 BODY IMPACT BRACING APPARATUS US14679001 2015-04-05 US20150208750A1 2015-07-30 Chester Lewis White
A body impact bracing apparatus is introduced for hockey, American football, rugby, hazardous motor-cycle/vehicle racecourse, big-truck arena sports, and even rodeo bull riding, whereby protective helmets are expected to provide adequate safeguards against high-impact injuries. The default vulnerability in such impacts is the lack of securitization of one's neck, regarding tandem movements between head and torso. New technology now protects against these injuries to both by rendering the helmet effectively immobile with respect to head and torso at split-second instance of impact either to protective helmet, shoulder harness, or to the torso. It presumes optimal protections based upon safeguarding the segmented integrity of the CNS: head, neck, and torso/spinal cord. Using electronics and laws of motion: inertia and counterpoise body weight, this technology absorbs impacting forces against the body, “distributing” them, and so attenuating and softening their overall effect. It's a three-segment protective apparatus for a three-segment central nervous system.
96 System and Method to Pitch Footballs US14522861 2014-10-24 US20150096546A1 2015-04-09 Douglas L. Boehner
A system and method for pitching balls, particularly footballs and other football-shaped balls. The system and method are flexibly designed to simulate different types of pitches including but not limited to passes, punts, kick-offs and snaps. A cradle for use in the system and method holds the ball in any one of a number of positions such that when it is fed into the system, the ball is propelled to simulate a different type of pitch. The apparatus and system for pitching balls includes a support for a ball throwing head, two opposing variable speed motor powered wheels that can be tilted in relation to each other to control the spin and distance, a slide configured to present the ball on the cradle into the wheels at different angles to provide right or left handed spirals and end over end pitches, and adjustments for height and horizontal pivot. A removable throwing head allows balls to be pitched from different heights from ground level to an upright arm motion to simulate different types of pitches.
97 Training pole for athletes US13147816 2010-03-13 US08858401B2 2014-10-14 Georg H. Kaupe
A training apparatus for a Nordic walker has an elongated pole whose lower end carries at least one wheel having a freewheel permitting rolling of the wheel on the surface only in a forward travel direction. A forearm rest is freely pivotal on an upper end of the pole and defines with the pole an angle increasing on forward rolling of the wheel from a position behind the athlete to a position in front of the athlete as the arm in the rest swings forward in the travel direction. A handgrip fixed on a front end of the forearm rest is gripped by a hand of the forearm in the rest and pivots with the forearm rest. A spring braced between the rest and the pole and pivotally biases the rest so as to increase the inclination angle.
