Abstract
Cyberfit lenticular 2D biomechanical exercise diagrams serve as visual educational tools that can be used in commercial, governmental or privately owned fitness, sports and rehabilitation facilities. Their function is to remind and inform users how to both effectively and safely perform specific physical exercises, while incorporating the correct biomechanical movement Depicted exercises may also include strength equipment such as free-weights and weight machines. The diagrams can be affixed to fitness equipment as well as printed collateral.
For example, a multi- or mono-chromatic lenticular biomechanical diagram can be affixed to corresponding exercise equipment or information display areas. This enables a user to view both the start and finish of specific exercises by slightly altering the angle of their visual perspective.
An additional feature of the biomechanical diagram is the illustration the muscle or muscle group/s being targeted.

cybfit~meil.com 613.276.7877 Specification:
1. The purpose of a lenticular biomechanical diagram is to provide a visually appealing memory cue as to how an exercise can be both effectively and safely performed.
The diagrams can be affixed to corresponding exercise equipment or information display areas. Ideally, several machines in a fitness facility can be equipped with corresponding diagrams.
For example, a "Leg Extension" (fig.1 and 2) the lenticular biomechanical diagram illustrates both the start and finish movement including the target muscle or muscle groups affected.

cybfit~meil.com 613.276.7A77 This invention answers the periodic difficulty fitness equipment users may experience when operating equipment while supervision or instruction may be temporarily unavailable.
Typical strength equipment may incorporate a basic 2D diagram of the physical region being affected. However, quite often the correct biomechanics and posture will not be addressed. In many cases fitness equipment is inadequately illustrated or has little or no user explanation. Or conversely, there may be too much technical description solely on the set-up of the equipment.
This invention addresses these concerns.
A lenticular biomechanical diagram incorporating both the start and finish of an exercise becomes a very effective visual memory cue. As a result this invention attempts to amend incorrect presumptions on how to perform specific exercises effectively, as well as operate any corresponding equipment subsequent to instruction and demonstration from a qualified fitness trainer.
The invention also communicates and educates users without the need for specific language instruction due to the pictorial properties of this application of lenticular diagrams.

cybf~il.com 613.278.7877 3. Individuals utilizing exercise equipment require proper work-out form and posture. Cyberfit lenticular biomechanical diagrams promote a better understanding of the biomechanics involved.
The diagrams illustrate how to perform exercises effectively and safely through the illustration of correct start and finish form. An additional benefit of affixing the lenticular diagrams to equipment or educational literature may also result in the reduction of physical injury to the individual, as well as damage to the equipment.
Having lenticular biomechanical diagrams readily available in fitness and rehabilitation facii'rties enable the strength training process to be less daunting. The diagrams, when affixed to fitness equipment or in printed media, serve as a strong visual reminder on the correct exercise procedure. Furthermore, they allow for the development of a strong kinesthetic awareness of proper exercise form.
The diagrams may also alleviate the confusion that novice gym users often experience when commencing a fitness program. User-friendly lenticuiar biomechanical diagrams on equipment and/or information display areas provide additional reinforcement of what has been demonstrated by a qualified fitness instructor. Thereby visually anchoring proper and effective use of fitness equipment.

The illustrative images depict the start and finish of typical strength training exercises. The correct biomechanical form including the muscle groups involved are also depicted. i.e. "lateral pull down' or."leg extension"
The exercise shown in Figure 1 depicts an individual preparing to perform a leg extension. The front of the ankle rests under the roller pad at the start position. In Figure 2, the individual raises the lower leg to the appropriate angle until the front thigh muscles (rectus femoris, and quadriceps) are being worked. Care is undertaken not to hyper-extend the knee.

Lenticular biomechanical diagrams can be used to facilitate proper ergonomic posture in a variety of work scenarios. Specific strength and stretching exercises can be adapted for the alleviation of repetitive stress injuries. Other industries that can benefit from utilizing lenticular biomechanical diagrams include: manual labor industries i.e. construction workers; and conversely, clerical work i.e. work performed at computer workstations.
