International Classification:

A63B 22/00

US Classification:

482 51, 434253

Abstract:

An exercise device for the crossover step, including an upper wheel supported, the upper wheel having a skating surface and being rotatable; a lower wheel joined to the upper wheel via a hub, the lower wheel having idler wheels supporting the upper wheel; upper legs and lower legs, the upper and lower legs being joined to the lower wheel; a track joined to the upper legs and lower legs, the track adapted to allow the upper wheel, lower wheel, upper legs and lower legs to be stored vertically against a wall and positioned for use adjacent a floor; and mechanism for controlled increase of simulated G-forces applied to a skater skating on the skating surface.

Jeffrey Thielen - Lino Lakes MN, US

International Classification:

G09B 19/00
G09B 5/06
A61B 5/11

Abstract:

Embodiments of a system and method for retrieving a skill training data file, outputting the skill training data file for display on a user interface, and displaying the skill training data file are generally described herein. The skill training data file may include a set of video portions displayed in a sequence including a first passive video portion. The skill training data file may include a second video portion including visual or audible instructions directing a viewer to imagine body sensations corresponding to images shown in the second video portion. In some examples, the body sensations may be representative of muscle movements used to perform the skill.
