Abstract
An individual isokinetic pull force time performance exercise training system for monitoring power on each repetition in a workout on a piece of exercise equipment with a load cell and rotary encoder integrated into the equipment with wireless data transfer and signal processing for a display to provide relevant exercise measurements viewable to a trainer or trainee in a graphical format.
Claims1
An exercise training system apparatus for a user doing a whole repetition, the apparatus comprising:
- a pull cable exercise machine with an equipment base including frame mounts to moveably support a floating load frame;
- the floating load frame including a first side shaft support and a second side shaft support;
- a rotatable winding shaft rotatably supported by the first side shaft support and the second side shaft support;
- a spring return connected to the rotatable winding shaft;
- a pull cable wound on the rotatable winding shaft;
- a cable handle connected to the pull cable;
- a resistance shaft rotatably supported by the first side shaft support and the second side shaft support and coupled to the rotatable winding shaft by a connecting chain;
- an adjustable resistance device connected to the resistance shaft;
- a data circuit including a microprocessor monitoring a load cell measuring force, a rotary encoder measuring distance, and a clock measuring time and transmitting the force, distance and time;
- and
- a processing apparatus receiving the force, distance and time and generating a visual display graph showing power at multiple points over the time of the whole repetition and a force to distance graph over the length of the whole repetition, the whole repetition starting when the cable is pulled and including both an outward pull and inward rewind of the cable.
