GYROSCOPIC EXERCISE DEVICE

摘要

A gyroscopic exercise apparatus combining the principles of simulation and virtual reality for exercising the body and for developing balance training skills in sports such as river boarding, sledding and other sport where it is necessary for the body to be in a prone position on a board while engaged in that sport. The movement of the apparatus on its axis depends and is guided by the pressure exerted by the chest of the user on the upper section of the wobbling support board of the device. The user of the apparatus interacts with the games and video's displayed on a head mount or a computer monitor by pressing the appropriate buttons on the handles on the upper section of the wobbling support board of the device or by kicking their feet against the pressure sensitive foam mats incorporated at the bottom of the lower section of the board.

主权项

1. A gyroscopic exercise apparatus, comprising:
a stationary base frame structure member; a vertical outer frame structure member; said vertical outer frame structure member hingedly connected to said stationary base frame structure member by means of a plurality of support frame structure members; a plurality of rotating ring members held within the said vertical outer frame structure member; a wobbling support board structure member to support the body of a user; a plurality of actuators to power said gyroscopic exercise apparatus, positioned between said outer vertical frame structure member and said plurality of rotating ring members to affect the movement of said rotating ring members with respect to said stationary base frame structure member; and a plurality of pressure sensitive sensors to sense the movement of a user of said gyroscopic exercise apparatus and transmit them to a computer or head mounted display to be viewed by said user;
