Exercising apparatus.

摘要

An exercising apparatus (20) and method incorporates an open loop system which monitors the activity of an exercising person and directs such activity by displaying the correlation of such activity with a programmed regimen. The apparatus is engaged by body portions of the exercising person operating the apparatus and preferably guides the person in <<full range>> exercise while monitoring and displaying a representation of work performed during exercising movement. Specific arrangements for using force exerted by one body portion to provide resistance to be overcome by another body portion are employed, as is an arrangement for monitoring the use of a number of apparatus so as to monitor a full physiological developement program.
