ABSTRACT:
A kayak simulator machine is provided. The machine comprises a support assembly, a resistance-creating device coupled to the support assembly, a cord member coupled to the resistance-creating device, and a paddle-shaft coupled to the support assembly by the cord member. The paddle-shaft has opposite ends rotatably attached to the cord member whereby the paddle-shaft may be twisted relative to the cord member. The cord member is coupled to the resistance-creating device in such a manner that a pulling-resistance is imposed when the paddle-shaft is pulled, the pulling-resistance being greater than the pushing-resistance imposed when the paddle-shaft is pushed. The cord member is also coupled to the resistance-creating device in such a manner that the pulling-resistance is applied to the ends of the paddle-shaft. The paddle-shaft is coupled to the support assembly in such a manner that a center portion of the paddle-shaft may pivot in a three-dimensional pivot space.
