Abstract

This invention relates to an arc-rail exercise machine, which is mainly formed with a longitudinally curved arc rail in a base frame and installed with a resistance device on the base frame. The resistance device is connected to an operation member of an operation device located at a lateral side of the base frame through a connection cable of a linking device. The operation member can drive the resistance device, through the connection cable, to perform curve elevation along the arc rail. When being at different slope positions on the arc track, the resistance device will generate different resistance variation on the operation member. As such, when users operate to exercise, their muscle tone load will increase or decrease with different joint angles so as to enhance exercise and training effects and improve correctness and safety in exercise and training.
