In existing fitness apparatus to strengthen the heart circulatory system or specific muscle groups the user is fully aware of every single movement of his or her body as well as of his or her physical effort focusing fully on the latter. The fitness apparatus disclosed by the invention seeks to divert the concentration of the subject to the mastering of a computer game thereby purposely distracting him or her from the straining physical effort. A hard and boring training session becomes an entertaining game session. Several individual hard exercises can be performed from one chosen basic position of the body. For instance, in the case of the computer game Tetris, four individual physical exercises would be required. When a physical exercise is carried out a sensor emits an electric impulse that is passed on to a computer and used to control a digital computer game (e. g. Tetris). The pressing of a key in the computer keyboard is equivalent here to a physical exercise such as bending the knees and stretching them out again by overcoming a force of around 600 Newton. |
