Abstract: The present invention concerns a support frame for a gymnastic apparatus, particularly for a cycling simulation device, comprising a base, and a first arm hinged with said base and a second arm hinged with said base, so that said first and second arm can assume a closed position and an open position, rotating with respect to said base, characterized in that said support frame comprises an articulation member articulated with said base and said first and second arm such that the rotation of one of said first or second arm relatively to said base causes a rotational translation of said articulation member and the rotation of the other arm with respect to said base, causing the passage from said closed position to said open position or vice versa.

Abstract: Method, system and program product for managing data representative of the personal experience of a user on an exercise equipment. During the execution of a client software application launched by the user of the exercise equipment, when the client software application sends a request of updating data representative of the state of the client software application to a database remotely disposed with respect to the exercise equipment, updated data representative of the state of the client software application are retrieved, associated to a user identification code and temporarily stored in a first memory unit of the exercise equipment. When a procedure of logout of the user on the exercise equipment is performed, the updated data representative of the state of the client software application associated with said user identification code are stored in a second memory unit of the exercise equipment and sent to the remote database.

Abstract: An exercise machine suitable to assume various operating modes. The exercise machine includes a control interface which comprises a control device configured to receive at least one command by a user to be provided to the exercise machine for performing a physical exercise. The control device is further configured to provide the user with a piece of information representative of the operating mode of the exercise machine.
