<p>An apparatus 10 and method for evaluating the power of a muscle group of a user by measuring velocities of an engagement assembly 40L, 40R coupled to a resistance element 82L, 82R and moved by the user at a highest achievable velocity through a selected number of exercise strokes at each of two resistance levels. A first velocity is determined at a first resistance leve l. A second velocity is determined at a second resistance level. The first and second velocities and the first and second resistance levels are used in combination with a predetermined relationship between resistance levels and velocities to determine a relationship between the velocity and the resistan ce level for a particular user. The resistance level where the resistance level and the velocity correspond to an overall maximum power is determined and is displayed for the user so that the user may use the optimum resistance level for training for maximum power generation.</p> |
