ABSTRACT:
An inertial exercise apparatus and method for exercising body muscles using acceleration and deceleration forces. A mass slidably mounted along a track is connected to a body part by a tether in such a way that the body part accelerates the mass along the track, and thereafter the motion of the mass is converted without substantially decreasing the speed of the mass to a motion which can be decelerated by the body part. In a preferred embodiment, the mass is accelerated toward a curved central portion of the track which then reverses the motion of the mass, after which the mass is decelerated. A rotating mass can also be utilized.
