Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating an isometric contraction exercise regimen for many subjects across a network are provided. One or more exercise constraints are developed for a subject as a function of the medical health information of the subject. The subject performs a plurality of isometric contraction exercises using exercise equipment always in the presence of a personal fitness trainer thereby producing an exercise result. The exercise equipment has a strain gauge in order to impose exercise constraints in the one or more exercise constraints. A mandatory recovery period for the subject is then imposed. During this mandatory recovery period, the subject does not perform isometric contraction exercises. These steps are repeated using a new set of one or more exercise constraints that were refined based upon the exercise result of a previous isometric contraction exercise work out session.

Abstract: A display-dispenser rack for maintaining in exposed view, a variety of differently sized articles for selective dispensing of one or more of the displayed articles. The rack comprises a plurality of vertically extending open front compartments defined by a bottom wall, a rear wall, and spaced vertically extending side walls. A flange is formed preferably on each compartment side wall at the front of the compartment, with the flange extending partially over the front of the compartment to retain an article in the compartment exposed for view through the space adjacent the flange. The flange does not extend to the bottom of the compartment, leaving an opening permitting selective withdrawal of one or more of the lowermost articles in the compartment.
