Computer controlled exercise Machine.

摘要

A computer controlled exercise machine in which the user is permitted to perform a variety of exercises. The system is of the type including an actuating member (36) for operation by the user, means (54) for producing a resistive force opposing the movement of the actuating member, computer means (10), means (60) operated by said computer means for controlling the amount of resistive force produced by the force producing means (54), means (44) for measuring the force applied to said actuating member (36), and for producing signals corresponding thereto, said computer means (10) including means for sampling the data values of said signals on a high speed basis. The computer means (10) also has means (50) for initially driving the actuating member in a direction so as to aid the user to overcome the force.
