ABSTRACT:
A roller carriage with paired upper and lower rollers rides on an adjustable inclined monorail. A tension cord connects the carriage to a rear stanchion. Pull cables wind around one-way clutch drivers which drive a rotating shaft, wherein a tension means connected to the one-way clutch drivers rewinds the pull cables to an initial position after extension. The rotating shaft has ergometric input-responsive resistance devices on the shaft. Choices of resistance include a centrifugal clutch, a variable opening encased vaned flywheel, a band brake, a centrifugal brake, a wind load, a water load, an eddy current load, and a variable speed electric motor resistance. Interchangeable body supports are mounted on the roller carriage. A laterally tilting padded swim bench is used with swim paddles attached to the pull cables. A pair of pivoting leg supports may be attached to the padded swim bench to pull another pair of cables attached to the same system. A nordic seat with thigh pads and a lower foot support is used with ski pole grip handles attached to the pull cables. Additional pull cables may be attached to pivoting foot supports with the nordic seat. A canoe/kayak seat with a horizontally spaced foot support is used with a paddle shaft attached to the pull cables. An upright bicycle seat with a handle bar is used with lower pedals or treadles to which pull cables are attached. A recumbent back-support seat is used with horizontally extending pedals, to which pull cables are attached, to form a simulated recumbent bicycle. Stepper pedals may be attached to pull cables and pivotally mounted to the front stanchion as a step exerciser.
