AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing load generating devices, such as non-electrified training equipment, struggle with precise load adjustment, limiting the ability to meet the needs of users seeking meticulous load adjustments for muscle strengthening and rehabilitation.
Method used
A load control unit is retrofitted to a load generating device, incorporating a magnetorheological fluid device that applies a magnetic field to a magnetorheological fluid to modulate braking force, allowing precise load adjustment through a reel and modulation unit.
Benefits of technology
Enables precise load adjustment beyond the limitations of conventional weight plates, maintaining user motivation by allowing gradual load increases during training.

Abstract
A load control unit (1) is retrofitted to a load generation device that generates a prescribed load, and applies additional braking force to the prescribed load, the load control unit (1) comprising a reel (11) that has a rotary shaft member (11a) and rotates around the rotary shaft member (11a), a magnetic viscous fluid device (14) that brakes the rotary shaft member (11a) by applying a magnetic field to a magnetic viscous fluid (14a), and a modulation unit that modulates the magnetic field applied to the magnetic viscous fluid (14a).
