Abstract
A sports apparatus provides a variable resistance to a user. A resilient panel can be adjusted for custom resistance. The resilient panel is provided with pulleys and cables arranged to deflect the panel when a user provides a force on the cable. The user can transmit force to the resilient panel by attaching a suitable exercise implement to the cable. The resilient can also be arranged as required by the type of exercise and for convenience.
Claims42
A resistance apparatus for exercise equipment comprising:
- a. a resilient panel
- b. a means of deflecting the panel by applying a combination of a bending moment and compressive load to the opposing ends of the panel.
A resilient panel with a variable bending resistance, wherein the resistance of the resilient panel can be adjusted.
An exercise apparatus comprising at least one resilient panel, wherein the resistance of the resilient panel is adjustable.
