Aerobic rhythmic running exercise (RRE) is an exercise mode wherein a horizontally disposed participant elevates and lowers his or her limbs alternately in a striding manner against dissipative loading provided by enabling RRE apparatus. RRE comprises safe aerobic exercise for cardiovascularly handicapped heart patients and other participants by substantially supporting or balancing the weight of the limb groups one against the other during the alternate limb elevation and lowering. It is an observed fact that the blood pressure remains near resting values during such aerobic RRE. It has also been observed that RRE allows an athlete to preferentially develop fast twitch muscles useful for enabling improved running speed. Stationary RRE apparatus comprises a supporting tripod structure, and pulley supported leg and arm supporting rope lines coupled to leg and arm drive belts that are, in turn, coupled to leg and arm drive sprockets. The drive sprockets are operatively coupled to either an energy dissipative hydraulic assembly or an energy dissipative electric assembly utilized for providing selected dissipative loading for motions thereof. Alternate RRE apparatus is semi-portable in nature and comprises an elevated housing and horizontal member for mounting all functional components including reel mounted leg and arm supporting rope lines and a timing belt coupled energy dissipative hydraulic assembly or energy dissipative electric assembly utilized for providing selected dissipative loading for motions thereof. The elevated housing and horizontal member are supported above the participant by assembled front and rear tripod legs.
