Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved exercise machine, comprising a monitoring system.
  • the present invention also relates to the operating method of this machine.
  • the invention relates to an exercise machine for strength training and for the rehabilitation of the lower limbs, in particular for medical-rehabilitative purposes.
  • machines for training the lower limbs comprise a weight stack or a resistant device are used.
  • this resistant device is an actuator, connected to one end of a flexible cable, whose resistant force opposes the execution of exercises by a user.
  • the other end of the flexible cable is secured to a pulley, which rotates with respect to a fulcrum, integrally with a tubular element, on which the user rests his lower limbs.
  • the gymnastic exercise using these machines consists of a concentric movement, when the user lifts the tubular element with his/her leg, overcoming the resistance of the weight stack or of the resistant device, and an eccentric movement, when the user lowers his leg and the tubular element returns to its initial position.
  • the user During the concentric movement, the user must overcome the resistance of the weight stack or resisting device, which transmits its resisting force through the flexible cable.
  • the cable continues to exert a resisting force, thus causing an effort for the user during the return of the tubular element to the initial position, since he/she must exercise control over the movement so as not to cause the leg to abruptly fall.
  • Document SE1650813 discloses an exercise machine which is suitable for leg extension and leg curl exercises.
  • a disadvantage of these exercise machines is given by the fact that, when the distance of the tubular element from the fulcrum of the pulley is varied, the force that a user must exert to lift the same weight changes since the torque which develops on the fulcrum of the pulley depends on the distance of the tubular element from the fulcrum itself.
  • an object of the present invention to accurately control the effort made by the user during the execution of the gymnastic exercise.
