Resistance strength training apparatus

摘要

A resistance training apparatus 10 comprises: a manual actuator 42 that drives rotation of a wheel 14 relative to a static structure 24; one of the wheel 14 or static structure 24 includes one or more permanent magnets 26 and the other a conductive material that generate electromagnetic induction to resist rotation of the wheel 14 relative to the static structure 24; wherein an adjustment mechanism selectively alters the resistance caused by the magnets 26. Preferably there are a plurality of angularly spaced magnets 26 and the adjustment means adjusts the relative position of the magnets 26 and conductive material to alter the resistance; preferably the adjustment means adjusts the amount of overlap between the magnets 26 and the conductive material.
