Method of controlling a force and/or resistance generator of an exercise apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to a method, in particular a computer implemented method, of controlling a force and/or resistance generator of an exercise apparatus (1), which apparatus includes a plurality of physical transmission ratios (10, 4) between a user force input device (7-9) and the force and/or resistance generator and at least one shifter (12) to select a desired transmission ratio. The method includes the steps of determining the engaged physical transmission ratio, mapping the engaged physical gear ratio onto a virtual transmission ratio, and adapting the generated force and/or resistance based on the virtual transmission ratio.
