AI Technical Summary
Existing fitness equipment often results in users exerting great force and for a long time during exercise, but exerting little force and for a short time when returning to the starting position. This can lead to energy release during the return phase, potentially causing injury. Furthermore, the exercise mode is monotonous and lacks safety.
The arm exerciser uses a non-Newtonian fluid effect-based system. By filling the linear and rotary damping cylinders with non-Newtonian fluid materials, and utilizing the shear thickening properties, an indirect relationship is achieved between "human-machine-non-Newtonian fluid material-machine-human". This provides a continuous and uniform damping force, and both the force application and recovery processes serve an exercise function, avoiding the instantaneous release of energy.
It effectively exercises arm muscles during both the exertion and recovery phases, preventing injury. It offers multiple training modes covering the upper arm, forearm, shoulder joint, and wrist joint, improving safety and training effectiveness.
