Der Winkel zwischen der eingezeichneten Achse der Betätigungsorgane und der Senkrechten variiert zwischen 5° in dem Sitz näheren Endpunkt und 15° in dem Sitz ferneren Endpunkt, d.h. der Verschwenk-Winkel ändert sich über einen Bewegungszyklus um 10°. In dieser Anordnung entspricht der Winkel zwischen der eingezeichneten Achse der Betätigungsorgane und der Senkrechten dem Winkel zwischen der Achse des Fusses und der Symmetrieebene des Körpers der trainierenden Person. Der auf das Betätigungsorgan abgestützte Fuss macht das Verschwenken um den Verschwenk-Winkel mit.

The angle between the drawn axis of the actuators and the vertical varies between 5 ° in the end point closer to the seat and 15 ° in the end point further away from the seat, ie the pivoting angle changes by 10 ° over a movement cycle. In this arrangement, the angle between the drawn axis of the actuating elements and the vertical corresponds to the angle between the axis of the foot and the plane of symmetry of the body of the person exercising. The foot supported on the actuating member takes part in the pivoting about the pivoting angle. The entire sequence of movements is ideally adapted to a natural movement determined by the function of the joints.
Zurückkommend auf die Kraftübertragungsfaktoren α und β wird hier erklärend angefügt, dass natürlich an jeder Stelle im Kraftübertrager Kraft und Gegenkraft im Gleichgewicht sind ("actio = reactio"). Das bedeutet für die auf den flexiblen Abschnitt (3') des Kraftübertragers einwirkenden Kräfte, dass gilt: α·F1 = β·F2. Das heisst auch, dass das Verhältnis der Kräfte (F1 : F2) durch das Verhältnis der Kraftübertragungsfaktoren (β : α) festgelegt ist. Das bedeutet weiter, dass ausser einer symmetrischen Anordnung mit gleichen Kraftübertragungsfaktoren (α = β) und damit gleichen Kräften (F1 = F2) auch die Möglichkeit besteht, ein Krafttrainingsgerät bereitzustellen, bei dem, beispielsweise für die Therapie einer geschwächten Körperseite, ungleiche Kräfte auf das erste und zweite Betätigungsorgan ausgeübt werden. Der Zeigerauschlag hängt dann von α·F1 ab und kann durch entsprechende Kalibration einer Skala zur Anzeige von F1 (oder F2) verwendet werden.Coming back to the force transmission factors α and β, it is added here that, of course, force and counterforce are in equilibrium at every point in the force transmitter ("actio = reactio"). This means for the forces acting on the flexible section (3 ') of the force transmitter that the following applies: α · F1 = β · F2. This also means that the ratio of the forces (F1: F2) is determined by the ratio of the force transmission factors (β: α). This also means that in addition to a symmetrical arrangement with the same force transmission factors (α = β) and thus the same forces (F 1 = F 2 ), there is also the possibility of providing a strength training device in which, for example, for the therapy of a weakened Side of the body, unequal forces are exerted on the first and second actuating members. The pointer deflection then depends on α · F1 and can be used to display F1 (or F2) by calibrating a scale accordingly.
