Abstract

Motion resistance apparatuses and methods of use and, more specifically, leg-actuated motion resistance apparatuses configured for positioning beneath a fixed surface and for engagement by a seated user.

Claims (20)

1. A motion resistance apparatus, comprising:

a frame including a linear elongate member having opposing elongate member first and second ends;

an elongate support surface engagement member coupled to said elongate member second end in angled relation to said elongate member;

a support member medially coupled between said elongate member second end and said elongate support surface engagement member;

a resistance assembly medially coupled to said elongate member, said resistance assembly having a crank assembly including an axial element capable of rotation about a rotation axis; and

a pair of pedal elements coupled to said axial element, each said pedal element circumscribing a circular path upon rotation about said rotation axis;

wherein said frame engaged to a support surface locates:

said rotation axis of said axial element at a distance from said support surface of not greater than twelve inches; and

said elongate member first end at a first height and said elongate member second end at a second height which is greater than said first height; and

wherein said elongate member has an angle of inclination in relation to said support surface of not greater than thirty degrees.

2. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said distance from said support surface is not less than four inches and not greater than twelve inches.

3. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said resistance assembly comprises one or more magnet elements.

4. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said resistance assembly provides variably adjustable resistance to rotation of said axial element.

5. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said axial element is rotatable in a clockwise and a counterclockwise direction about said rotation axis.

6. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said second height is not less than two inches and not greater than twelve inches.

7. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said second height has a fixed relation to said first height.

8. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said support member further comprises a variable height adjustment element operable to increase or decrease a support member length to correspondingly variably adjust said second height in relation to said first height.

9. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said support member comprises a pair of tubular support members telescopingly engaged to allow increase or decrease of said support member length and said variable height adjustment element has a configuration which releasably fixes said support member length.

10. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said crank assembly includes one or more crank arms having a crank arm first end opposite a crank arm second end, said crank arm first end coupled to said axial element and said crank arm second end coupled to said pedal element.

11. The motion resistance apparatus of claim 10 , wherein said pedal element has an engagement surface opposite a nonengagement surface, wherein rotary movement of said pedal element about said rotations axis of said axial element results in a vertical height of said engagement surface of not greater than fifteen inches from said support surface.
