Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COUNTER RESISTANCE EXERCISE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/079204
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus (10) and method for counter-resistance exercise includes a cable and pulley system (12) and a force sensing device (14) operatively coupled to the cable and pulley system (12). The cable and pulley system (12) has at least one pulley (13) and at least one substantially inelastic cable (11 ) configured for engagement with the pulley (13). The force sensing device (14) is operable to generate data relating to a mechanical force applied to the cable (11 ) by a user during a counter- resistance exercise in which the mechanical force is applied by a first muscle or muscle group and is opposed by a second muscle or muscle group. In one embodiment, the mechanical force applied to the cable (11 ) is transferred to a load cell (14) and the load cell (14) converts the mechanical force to a proportional electrical signal. In another embodiment, a wireless transmitter (16) transmits the electrical signal to a display (20) configured for wireless communication with the transmitter (16) and the display (20) provides the user with biometric feedback (26, 27, 28) relating to the exercise.
