The present invention is especially applying as an upright
bidirectional pedaling bicycle or as an upright bidirectional pedaling
device for lower limbs bidirectional pedaling in order to widen the use of
muscles and change the muscle strength and density, and obtain the
following advantages:
(1)reducing injuries caused by overuse of partial muscles and joints;
(2) working the muscles and joints seldom being used or trained;
Above advantages can be applied at various bidirectional manpower
driving using different muscle groups; especially when apply bidirectional
pedaling driving at upright bicycles or upright pedaling exercise devices,
the difference of the muscle groups using for bidirectional pedaling is
bigger, that makes the said advantages and their effects more obvious.
The manpower driven device with bi-directional input and constant
directional rotation output being applied for driving the power generator
(109) further includes an integrally combined structure of the loading
wheel train (103) and the power generator (109), such as that Fig. 11 is a
structural block schematic view of the integrally combined structure of the
driven loading wheel train (103) and the power generator (109) of the
invention, wherein it includes the constitution of the manpower input
device (101) being driven by both or one of the human hand or foot for
positive or reverse rotation and having the constant directional rotation
