ARM EXTENSION EXERCISE APPARATUS

摘要

Apparatus for performing an arm extension exercise comprising:;a frame,;a seat having a seating surface (S),;an elbow pad having an engaging surface (ES),;an input arm assembly interconnected to a resistance mechanism and a manually graspable mechanism , the input arm assembly being adapted to reside in a start motionless position (SMP) that disposes the manually graspable mechanism in a start exercise position (SEP) that is disposed vertically above UW) the user's elbows,;the input arm assembly being pivotable around a linear axis disposed rearwardly of the user's elbow.

1. Apparatus for performing an arm extension exercise by a user having a trunk (T1) having a longitudinal axis (LA), opposing anterior (AS) and posterior (PS) sides and arms with elbows extending from the trunk (T1), the apparatus comprising:
a frame, a seat having a seating surface (S), an elbow pad having an engaging surface (ES), an input arm assembly interconnected to a resistance mechanism and a manually graspable mechanism, the input arm assembly being pivotably mounted (AA) on the frame for back and forth travel along a generally upward (UW) to downward (DW) or forward (FW) to rearward (RW) direction, the input arm assembly being adapted to reside in a start motionless position (SMP) relative to a selected arrangement of the seat and elbow pad that disposes the manually graspable mechanism in a start exercise position (SEP) that is disposed vertically above UW a point of engagement of a posterior surface (PSE) of the user's elbows with the engaging surface (ES) when the user is seated on the seating surface (S) in an orientation where the anterior surface (AS) of the user's trunk (T1) is facing generally forwardly (FW), the seat and elbow pad being configured and arranged relative to the input arm assembly to position the user in a user start position (USP) that enables the user to manually engage (ME) the manually graspable mechanism when the user is seated in an orientation where a posterior surface (PSE) of the user's elbow is engaged with the engaging surface (ES) of the elbow pad and the anterior and posterior sides of the user's trunk are oriented in a generally forward (FW) to rearward (RW) direction, the input arm assembly comprising a first arm being rotatably pivotable around a first linear axis (AA) starting from the start exercise position (SEP) through a generally rearward to forward or upward to downward path of travel under resistance (R1) exerted by the resistance mechanism on application of forwardly or downwardly directed force (FDF) by the user on the manually graspable mechanism, the input arm assembly comprising a second arm rotatably pivotable around a second linear axis (AAA) along a generally rearward to forward or upward to downward path of travel on application of forwardly or downwardly directed force (FDF) by the user on the manually graspable mechanism.
