Abstract: A system and method for attaching a rebound mat to a peripheral frame using elastic loops. Each of the elastic loops has a first section and a second section that can be stretched in opposite directions. A loop connector is used to interconnect the two stretched loop sections. The loop connector has a first pulley wheel, a second pulley wheel, and a gap space. The first section of the elastic loop is extended through or around a feature of the peripheral frame. The second section is extended through or around a feature of the rebound mat. Once engaged with the loop connector, the first section of the elastic loop rests upon the first pulley wheel and the second section of the elastic loop rests upon the second pulley wheel. As the elastic loop stretches and contracts, the elastic loop rotates the pulley wheels, therein limiting the wear.

The exercise apparatus can be configured into a collapsed configuration, circular weights of the barbell acting as wheels while the person grasps and lifts the front sides of the base members. As such the person is able to wheel the exercise apparatus along the support surface. The exercise apparatus may then be reconfigured into an expanded configuration for use.

Abstract: A magnetic clutch transitions a drivetrain or flywheel between a freewheel or unlocked mode or configuration and a locked or fixed gear mode or configuration. The magnetic clutch includes a rotor rotationally fixed to the pedals of the drivetrain. An armature is connected to the flywheel. A field coil generates a magnetic field which causes the armature to move to the flywheel. Friction between the armature and the rotor rotationally fixes the flywheel to the rotor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for sports training, which comprises a frame pivotably connected to a lever actuated by a user's arms, the at least one lever being connected to two main coupling elements situated parallel to each other, such that when the elements move, they describe an identical path at the same time, transmitting the movement of the at least one lever to resistance means.
