Abstract (en)

An athletic apparatus with non-linear sliding tracks (3,4) includes a frame, a pair of tracks installed to the frame (10), a pair of pedal mechanisms (5,51,52,6,61,62) slidably installed to the tracks and a pair of rocker arm mechanisms (14,73,74,75,83,84,85). Each track is formed by at least one curved pipe. Each rocker arm mechanism pivoted to a shaft rod (24) of the frame is linked to the pedal mechanism through at least one linking rod (73,83) and further connected to a damping mechanism (101,102,103) which provides a resistance to the rocker arm mechanism. Each pedal mechanism is linked to a steel rope (92) of a linking mechanism so that the pair of the pedal mechanisms can move back and forth against each other alternately along the curved tracks. A handle (70,80) is arranged on a top of each rocker arm mechanism, a user can exercise by holding the handles and treading on the pedal mechanism.
