PASSIVE EXERCISE MACHINE

摘要

This aims to provide a passive exercise machine which does not give different depressing feelings of sole rests even to the users having different body structures but can retain a fixed using feeling. The passive exercise machine (1) comprises a seat (2) for seating the hip of a user (M), right and left footrests (3) to be stepped by the right and left soles of the user (M) seated on the seat (2), and a seat driving unit (50) for displacing the position of the seat (2) so that the load balance of the user (M) on the seat (2) and the footrests (3) may be changed to change the dead weight to act on the legs. The footrests (3) include sole rests (4) made vertically movable while bearing the soles, elastic means (6) for biasing the sole rests (4) upward, and bias adjusting means (7) for making the modulus of elasticity of the elastic means (6) adjustable.
