MUSCLE CONDITIONING APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus (10) for muscle conditioning comprises a supporting body (12), a hood-shaped pad (14), moveable relative to the body (12), and resistive means in the form of a weight stack (16) and suspension mechanism (18). The weight stack (16) is coupled to the hood-shaped pad (14) via the suspension mechanism (18), such that a resistive force can be applied against movement of the hood-shaped pad (14) from a first position relative to the body (12) to a second position relative to the body (12). The apparatus enables the conditioning of the muscles required for successful rugby scrummaging.
