  • Patent number: 5147262
    Abstract: An isokinetic oscillating exercise apparatus which may be used to exercise different muscles by grasping by one hand or two hands centrally-located gripping portions attached to an elongated member and moving or shaking the member back and forth causing the opposite ends of the member to oscillate. The oscillation causes isokinetic exercising of a user's muscles. The gripping portions may be attached to the elongated member by adhesive or screws threaded into sleeves. Telescoping ends may be used to vary the length of the elongated member or the oscillating range of the member. The telescoping ends may be used to significantly reduce the overall length of the elongated member for ease in carrying the apparatus or for storage purposes. The telescoping ends may be small pipes which fit inside a large pipe, or flat elongated strips of metal that slidably engage brackets attached to a flat elongated member.
