ABSTRACT:
A rowing simulator which provides an oarsman with realistic resistance, motion, and feel. A curved frame supports and guides a freely sliding seat and a freely sliding energy dissipation unit. An oarsman, positioned on the seat, places his or her feet on a footrest that is part of the energy dissipating unit and pulls on a handle that simulates an oar. A chain connected to the handle causes a geared, resistance-producing flywheel to spin and a take-up device, having a series of pulleys and an elastic element, controls chain tension. During exercise, the independent seat and energy dissipating unit move apart and then together in a coordinated manner as a function of the stroke cycle of the oarsman. The curvature of the frame allows gravity to keep the oarsman in a central portion of the frame.
