  • Patent number: 6733419
    Abstract: An exercise pattern control method and system for connecting rod locus-type exercise apparatus that establishes an exercise physiology database, an exercise resistance pattern database, and an exercise locus database. Based on the exercise resistance pattern settings and locus exercise pattern settings along with the sensed user heart beat, leg angle speed, and connecting rod length, and other relevant figures so archived, a controller then calculates and processes all the database data and figures to accordingly control the length extension of the connecting rod relative to the current physiological condition of the user. As such, the present invention enables the exercise apparatus to have an operational means of locus configuration to effectively match the physiological condition of the user, thereby achieving utilization convenience, safety, and enhanced exercise efficacy.
