ABSTRACT:
An isokinetic muscular exercise mechanism for the human body having an elongated tubular rail (14), a tubular slide member (20) mounted on the rail for sliding movement therealong, and a brake (32) mounted within the tubular slide member adapted to provide substantially higher frictional resistance to sliding movement of slide member in one linear direction along the rail than in the opposite direction thereof. The brake also provides a frictional resistance directly proportional to the linear force applied to the slide member in the one direction. A handle (16) is formed on one end of the tubular rail (14) and another handle (21) is provided on the slide member (20) to permit the device to be gripped by the hands of the user. The device is relatively small, simple and portable.
