A training machine for enabling the exerciser to exercise under a load appropriate for the individual exercise capability and physical function of the exerciser. The exerciser (E) enters a desired velocity-load characteristic into a load characteristic input device (), and the velocity-load characteristic is stored in the load characteristic memory device (). A load instruction value is determined according to the velocity-load characteristic and to the velocity inputted from a velocity calculation means () into the load characteristic memory device () and transmitted to a control means (). The control means () rotates a servomotor () with a torque instruction value corresponding to the load instruction value. A movement mechanism () converts the rotation into linear movement to move a movable unit (). With this, the exerciser can carry out training of reciprocal movement.

Training device and a control method of the same

A training support system (S) allows an exerciser to practice training exercises safely and effectively with high motivation. The training support system (S) comprises a display means () which conducts display relating to training for the exerciser who uses a training machine () for muscle training, and a controller (). The controller () allows dynamic display of reference motion and training motion on the display means () and variation of the display on the display means () according to the difference between the reference motion and the training motion.
