  • Eccentric cycling trainer
    Patent number: 6780143
    Abstract: An eccentric cycling trainer assembly for use with a conventional cycle comprises first and second frame members connected to each other to define a wheel-receiving body and including the assembly wheel-rotating unit. The wheel-rotating unit rotates the rear wheel of the cycle in a counter-pedaling direction whereby the trainee can then apply an opposition rotational force upon the cycle's pedals in a pedaling direction as the rear wheel continues to rotate thereby providing an eccentric muscular exercise.
