Abrégé

An apparatus and method for determining the power of a user of an exercise cycle (10) by measuring an RPM and resistance level achieved by the user in combination with a predetermined relationship. The RPM may be measured by sensing the rotation of, for example, a driving wheel (30) or flywheel (32) of the exercise cycle (10). The resistance level experienced by the user may be varied by an eddy current braking system. The eddy current braking system may include a pair of magnets (70, 72) that sweep across the face of the flywheel (32) to thereby vary the experienced resistance level.

An apparatus 10 and method for evaluating the power of a muscle group of a
user by measuring velocities of an engagement assembly 40L, 40R coupled to a
resistance element 82L, 82R and moved by the user at a highest achievable
velocity through a selected number of exercise strokes at each of two
resistance levels. A first velocity is determined at a first resistance level.
A second velocity is determined at a second resistance level. The first and
second velocities and the first and second resistance levels are used in
combination with a predetermined relationship between resistance levels and
velocities to determine a relationship between the velocity and the resistance
level for a particular user. The resistance level where the resistance level
and the velocity correspond to an overall maximum power is determined and is
displayed for the user so that the user may use the optimum resistance level
for training for maximum power generation.

Abrégé

An exercise apparatus combines weight and pneumatic resistance to provide a user with options to work against either or both types of resistances. In one mode, the exercise apparatus includes a user interface, such as, for example, a weight-lifting bar, that a user can move either toward or away from a stationary portion of the user's body. A weight (e.g., a free weight plate) can be selectively coupled to the user interface. A pneumatic resistance device can also be selectively coupled to the user interface independent of whether the user interface is also coupled to the weight. The pneumatic resistance device includes at least one valve to regulate the amount of resistance that the pneumatic resistance device applies to oppose movement of the user interface in at least one direction. At least one actuator may be provided for controlling the at least one valve, the actuator being configured to be manipulated by the user while the user is in an exercise position. The apparatus can also include a trolley that moves relative to a track. The trolley can move with the user interface so as to permit various positions of the user interface relative to the pneumatic resistance device.

example, a weight-lifting bar, that a user can move either toward or away from

device can also be selectively coupled to the user interface independent of
whether the user interface is also coupled to the weight. The pneumatic
resistance device includes at least one valve to regulate the amount of the
resistance that the pnuematic resistance device applies to oppose movement of
the user interface in at least one direction. At least one actuator may be
provided for controlling the at least one valve, the actuator being configured
to be manipulated by the user while the user is in an exercise position. The
apparatus can also include a trolley that moves relative to a track. The
trolley can move with the user interface so as to permit various positions of
the user interface relative to the pneumatic resistance device. An adjustable
bench adapted to support the user during exercise and capable of engaging an
auxilliary rack assembly may also be provided. The bench includes a seat and a
backrest that are interconnected and moveable relative to a frame. The bench
is adjustble from a generally flat configuration to one or more inclined
configurations. In the Flat configurations, the bench is particularly suitable
for pressing exercise such as the bench press. In the fully inclined position,
the bench is suitable for upright exercise such as the military press and the
shoulder press. The shoulder of the human body remain generally at the same
horizontal location along the bench as the backrest is inclined. The bench
thus does not need to be repositioned relative to a bar as the inclination of
the bench is changed.

Abrégé

An apparatus and method evaluate the power of a muscle or a muscle group by
initializing a resistance element (82L, 82R) to a first resistance level. An
engagement assembly (40L, 40R) coupled to the resistance element (82L, 82R) is
moved at a highest achievable velocity through an exercise stroke while a
representative velocity at which the engagement assembly (40L, 40R) is moved
through the exercise stroke is measured. At the completion of the exercise
stroke, the resistance level of the resistance element (82L, 82R) is increased
and the exercise stroke is repeated. The resistance level is increased until
the resistance level is sufficient to preclude moving the engagement assembly
(40L, 40R) through a complete exercise stroke. The power for each exercise
stroke, the maximum power and the velocity and resistance at which the maximum
power is produced are calculated based on the resistance level for each
exercise stroke and the representative velocity for each exercise stroke.
