EXERCISE AND TRAINING APPARATUS

摘要

A training and exercise device for applying a force against a resisting force, such as a weight stack, includes an upstanding frame, a rotatable arm supported by the frame at a first end for rotation about the frame in a horizontal plane and a force receiving device communicating with the arm for receiving force applied by a user. The force receiving device is longitudinally slidable along the arm to cause force to be applied against the resisting force when the force receiving device is pushed horizontally along the arms towards the frame. A cable connects the force receiving device to the resisting force and is attached at a first end to the resisting force. A grasping device is attached to the second end of the cable. The force receiving device includes a pair of handles which may be rotated about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal horizontal axis of the arm. Optionally the arm may be connected to the resisting force which returns the arm to a pre-determined normal position when the arm is released. As a further option, the outer end of the arm may be rotatable with respect to the inner end of the arm, about a longitudinal horizontal axis of the arm. The outer end of the arm is returnable to a pre-determined normal position upon release of force against the arm. Optionally, an "A" frame attachment having a pulley at the apex thereof may extend from the bottom of the frame. A cable extends through the pulley and may be pulled upwardly and outwardly to cause force to be applied against the resisting force. A treadmill may be attached to the frame to permit the user to move on the treadmill while applying force on the device.
