?:definition
  • Muscle strength exercisers designed to provide resistance to muscular contraction using a mechanism based on a system of pulleys and cables or levers; resistance is provided by the force of gravity exerted on constrained weight stacks. These exercisers usually consist of a stand-alone machine with weights stacked on top of each other and/or a hydraulic piston, a system to transmit the force (i.e., to convey the resistance), and lever bars or pulley cables on which the user exerts force to counteract the exerciser resistance. Dedicated lever-pulley-cable exercisers intended to improve the strength in full body or specific body muscle groups such as the upper and lower limbs, trunk, and neck are available; the exercisers may also increase muscle size, muscle endurance, and power and improve bone density.
