Abstract
A pedal exercise apparatus (100, 100′, 500, 600) is provided. The apparatus (100, 100′, 500, 600) comprises pedals (112) mounted on crank arms (104, 106, 401, 404). At least one pedal (112) is associated with at least one resilient member (116,117, 410). In use of the apparatus (100, 100″, 500, 600), a pedal (112) can be displaced from a rest position to a work position against a restoring force provided by the resilient member (116,117, 410) and held in the work position while the user performs a pedalling motion, allowing the user to exercise.
Claims16
A pedal exercise apparatus comprising at least one pedal mounted on a crank arm, wherein the pedal is associated with at least one resilient member, the arrangement being such that, in use of the apparatus, the user may displace the pedal from a rest position to a work position and hold the pedal against a restoring force provided by the resilient member and held in the work position while performing a pedalling motion.
A pedal exercise apparatus comprising a crank assembly, the crank assembly comprising an axle and two crank arms extending in opposite directions and arranged such that, in use, a user performs a pedalling action, causing the crank arms to rotate about the axle, each crank arm having at least one pedal mounted thereon, wherein each pedal is associated with a resilient member and is moveable, the arrangement being such that, in use of the apparatus, the pedals may be displaced from a rest position against a restoring force provided by the resilient member, the apparatus being arranged such that it can be placed in a configuration to allow the user to perform the pedalling motion while maintaining the displaced position of the pedals.
