EXERCISING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF PLAYING A COMPUTER-VIDEO GAME

摘要

Disclosed is an exercising apparatus capable of simultaneously playing a computer or video game while taking exercise. The exercising apparatus capable of playing a computer-video game, comprises a body of the exercising apparatus with a backrest; a fixed bar horizontally fixed to the body; pivoting arms connected through hinges to both ends of the fixed bar to pivot in response to motions of a user; shock absorbers for connecting the respective pivoting arms to the fixed bar to provide resistant loads corresponding to the displacement of the pivoting arms; rotation angle detection units installed at portions where the pivoting aims and the fixed bar are connected through the hinges so as to detect rotation angles of the respective pivoting arms; a resilient member installed in the backrest for providing a resistant load corresponding to flexure of the backrest; and an elastic displacement detection unit for detecting the deformation displacement of the resilient member. The exercising apparatus capable of playing a computer-video game according to the present invention can be connected to a game unit such as a computer to control playing of a game according to flexure of a backrest or motions of pivoting arms. Therefore, it is possible to perform realistic game control through physical motions while training a user's body, thereby maximizing interest in exercise and improving the effects of exercise.
