Abstract:
1. A training apparatus that applies a first load to a moving unit, which is provided for the purpose of exercise, by using an electrical load generator, comprising: a moving unit monitoring unit that monitors the movement of said moving unit when said moving unit is moving; a load adjusting unit that gradually reduces the load from said first load to a second load until the moving unit monitoring unit detects that the moving unit starts moving again after the moving unit monitoring unit detects that the moving unit has come to a rest; and said moving unit is movable in a first direction, and a second direction which is the reverse direction of said first direction; said moving unit monitoring unit further monitors the direction of motion of said moving unit; and if said load adjusting unit changes the load from said first load to said second load when said moving unit is moving in one direction, then said load adjusting unit will set the load to a third load when said moving unit monitoring unit detects that the direction of motion of said moving unit has switched to another direction.
