Motion analysis for elliptical ezerciser
The purpose of this study was to understand the factors affecting the musculoskeletal uncomfortableness with elliptical trainer. The evaluated parameters of elliptical trainer include the kinemaic data, center of mass （COM） and joint angle. Ten physically healthy male subjects volunteered for this investigation. In the result, there was significant difference in both up/down and anteral/posterial excursion of COM in low load and high loads compared between two types of elliptical trainer. The excursion ratio of COM, Machine A/Machine B, was 238％、211％ and 199％ in up/down direction and 156％、154％ and 131％ in anteral/posterial direction respectively. There were significant difference for knee and ankle angle except the hip joint angle between machine and machine B but there was no significant difference in joint angle among loading group. The home-used level of elliptical trainer showed fewer excursions than club-used level. The COM can be used for evaluation the fitness of exercise trainer.
