Resistance allocating apparatus of four-limb exercise equipment

Abstract

A resistance allocating apparatus of a four-limb exercise equipment is consisted of an exercise equipment having a resistance supplier and a transmission motor, and an electronic control meter having a control panel. The exercise equipment has a pedal link rod and a corresponding handle link rod to define a limbs link relation, and a transmission motor is provided and operated for controlling the displacement of an elevating saddle, and the electronic control meter uses a corresponding control key installed on a control panel of the electronic control meter to control a resistance supplier and a transmission motor by the design of a built-in software program and a control circuit, so as to control an exercise resistance level and adjust the position of the elevating saddle, and the control panel further including a zero setting key and a resistance allocating selection key for selecting a four-limb exercise resistance allocation percentage.

         2 . Exercise equipment comprising:
 a support stand,   a front support,   a saddle support,   a height adjustable saddle connected to the saddle support,   a variable mechanical resistance,   two pedal link rods, with rear ends of the pedal link rods coupled to the mechanical resistance,   two pedals, each mounted on a respective one of the pedal link rods such that a user exerts force via their lower limbs against the mechanical resistance, and   two handle link rods, each pivotably coupled at a first, lower end to a front end of a respective pedal link rod and at an intermediate position to an upper end of the front support, such that the user exerts force via their upper limbs and the handle link rods against the mechanical resistance and such that adjustment of a set height of the height adjustable saddle varies relative mechanical advantage between the user's upper and lower limbs against the mechanical resistance so as to vary a relative force allocation between the user's upper and lower limbs.   
     
     
         3 . The equipment of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a transmission connected to the height adjustable saddle so as to adjust the set height of the saddle; and   a control meter connected to the transmission and configured to receive user commands and store data such that a desired set height of the saddle for a given user is stored and adjusted upon command.
