Abstract

An exercise machine that outputs constant force from resilient resistances and allows continuously selectable levels of strength training resistance. The machine consists primarily of a pre-biased resistance element (50), a conical pulley structure with eccentric cross section (40), an axially adjustable force attachment point (34) and a frame (10). Flexible force transmission elements (30) conduct force to the user interface elements (16, 17) via pulleys (36).
