Abstract:
1. A rocking type exercising apparatus comprising: a movable unit on which a user rides; a driving unit for causing the movable unit to perform a rocking motion; a rocking motion changing means for changing the rocking motion of the movable unit driven to rock by the driving unit; and a display unit, responsive to the change in the rocking motion caused by the rocking motion changing means, for simultaneously displaying a plurality of individual loads applied to respective body regions of the user, wherein the movable unit includes a seat on which the user sits, the rocking motion changing means changes a forward/backward inclination angle of the seat, and the display unit displays loads to be applied to abdominal muscles, back muscles, front-of-thigh muscles and back-of-thigh muscles, wherein the display unit displays relative magnitudes of the loads applied to the abdominal muscles, the back muscles, the front-of-thigh muscles and the back-of-thigh muscles, and wherein the relative magnitudes of the loads is decided based on data obtained in advance as to how myogenic potentials of the abdominal muscles, the back muscles, the front-of-thigh muscles and the back-of-thigh muscles vary the differences in the forward/backward inclination angle and a rocking speed of the seat.
