ABSTRACT:
A device for aerobic exercise characterized by increased user comfort, especially during extended periods of use which comprises an elongate frame, a housing enclosing the frame, a stress imposing pedal-driven fan carried by one end portion of the frame and a user supporting and positioning seat carried by the other end portion of the frame opposite the fan and comprising a seat portion inclined from front to rear at a predetermined acute angle to the horizontal, and a backrest portion inclined at a predetermined acute angle to the vertical, with at least the backrest portion having ventilation openings therein which communicate with the front and rear surfaces of the backrest portion. Air passages communicate with the discharge side of the fan and also with the ventilation openings in the backrest portion and serve for directing air discharged by the fan through the ventilation openings to the forward surface of the backrest portion and outwardly therefrom whereby the air cools the user and substantially increases the user's comfort, particularly during long periods of use.
