The guide rods 6 carry in the area of their upper end a pressure element 7 that extends across the bed surface 3 extends, and the lower end of the guide rods 6 can be coupled to a resistance device, one Lifting movement of the guide rods 6 an adjustable Opposed resistance. In the illustrated embodiment are in a simple way at the bottom of the Guide rods 6 weights 8 attachable to the desired Generate resistance. Other resistance devices such as pneumatic cylinders can also be used.

Wie insbesondere in Figur 2 angedeutet ist, ist das Druckelement 7 an den Führungsstangen 6 höhenverstellbar gehalten und kann mittels geeigneter Arretiermittel in unterschiedlichen Stellungen fixiert werden. Außerdem kann das Druckelement 7 gegenüber den Führungsstangen 6 aus seiner horizontalen Betriebslage, in der es sich über die Liegefläche 3 erstreckt und arretierbar ist, um eine sich etwa in Längsrichtung der Liegefläche 3 erstreckende Achse seitlich nach oben weggeschwenkt werden, wie dies in Figur 2 angedeutet ist.As is particularly indicated in FIG. 2, this is Height-adjustable pressure element 7 on the guide rods 6 held and can by means of suitable locking means different positions can be fixed. Moreover can the pressure element 7 relative to the guide rods 6th from its horizontal operating position, in which it is about the lying surface 3 extends and can be locked by one extending approximately in the longitudinal direction of the lying surface 3 Axis swung up sideways like this is indicated in Figure 2.

Zwischen den Führungsstangen 6 und dem Kopfende 3a der Liegefläche 3 ist des weiteren ein Schwenkarm 9 vorgesehen, der im Bereich seines einen, unteren Endes neben den Führungsstangen 6 am Gestell 1 um eine sich quer zur Liegefläche 3 erstreckende Achse schwenkbar gehalten ist. Der Schwenkarm 9 besitzt dabei eine Grundstellung, in der er aus der Vertikalen im entgegengesetzten Uhrzeigersinn in Richtung der Liegefläche 4 verschwenkt ist, wobei er an einem weiteren Absenken in Richtung der Liegefläche 4 durch Anschlagmittel gehindert wird. Aus der Grundstellung kann der Schwenkarm 9 im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt werden.Between the guide rods 6 and the head end 3a of the A swivel arm 9 is also provided on the lying surface 3, the one in the area of its lower end next to the Guide rods 6 on the frame 1 to a transversely to the bed surface 3 extending axis is pivotally held. The swivel arm 9 has a basic position in which he counter-clockwise from the vertical is pivoted in the direction of the lying surface 4, whereby he at a further lowering in the direction of the lying surface 4 is prevented by slings. From the basic position the swivel arm 9 can be pivoted clockwise become.

Der Schwenkarm 9 trägt an seinem oberen, freien Ende ein Druckelement 10 und ist - genauso wie die Führungsstangen 6 - mit einer Widerstandseinrichtung derart koppelbar, daß einer Bewegung des Schwenkhebels 9 im Uhrzeigersinn eine Widerstandskraft entgegengesetzt wird. Das Druckelement 10 ist an dem Schwenkhebel 9 höhenverstellbar gehalten und durch geeignete Arretierungsmittel in unterschiedlichen Lagen arretierbar. Außerdem kann das Druckelement 10 aus seiner horizontalen Betriebslage, in der es sich über die Liegefläche 3 erstreckt und in der es durch geeignete Mittel arretierbar ist, genauso wie das an den Führungsstangen 6 vorgesehene Druckelement 7 um eine sich etwa in Längsrichtung der Liegefläche 3 erstreckende Achse seitlich nach oben weggeschwenkt werden.The swivel arm 9 enters at its upper, free end Pressure element 10 and is - just like the guide rods 6 - can be coupled with a resistance device, that a movement of the pivot lever 9 clockwise a resistance is opposed. The pressure element 10 is held on the swivel lever 9 so that it can be adjusted in height and by suitable locking means in different Layers can be locked. In addition, the pressure element 10 from its horizontal operating position, in the it extends over the lying surface 3 and in which it can be locked by suitable means, just like that on the guide rods 6 provided pressure element 7 around an approximately extending in the longitudinal direction of the lying surface 3 Be swiveled sideways upwards.

In den Figuren 4 bis 6 sind verschiedene Übungsformen dargestellt, die mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Trainingsgerät durchgeführt werden können.Various forms of exercise are shown in FIGS shown with the training device according to the invention can be carried out.

Bei der in Figur 4 dargestellten Übungsform, die in erster Linie zum Trainieren der oberen Bauchmuskulatur (rectus abdominies, transversus abdomines) bestimmt ist, legt sich die zu trainierende Person E auf die Liegefläche 3, wozu zweckmäßigerweise die Druckelemente 7, 10 aus ihrer Betriebsstellung seitlich nach oben weggeschwenkt werden, so daß der Bereich oberhalb der Liegefläche 3 frei ist. Je nach Wunsch und Körpergröße können dann die Neigung des Kopfendes 3a und die Stellung des Fußauflageelements 5 beliebig so eingestellt werden, daß der Brustbereich einer trainierenden Person im Bereich des Schwenkarms 9 positioniert ist, so daß das Druckelement 10 nach einem Herunterschwenken in die Betriebsstellung und gegebenenfalls einer Höhenverstellung gegenüber dem Schwenkarm 9 auf dem Brustbereich der Person plaziert werden kann. Wenn jetzt die Person durch Rumpfbeugen seinen Oberkörper von der Liegefläche 3 abhebt, wie dies in Figur 4 angedeutet ist, wird das Druckelement 10 mit dem Schwenkarm 9 entgegen der Widerstandskraft, die durch die Widerstandseinrichtung entgegengesetzt wird, im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Gerät können somit sogenannte Sit-ups unter Belastung ausgeführt werden, wodurch die Bauchmuskulatur sehr effektiv gestärkt werden kann.In the exercise form shown in Figure 4, the first Line for exercising the upper abdominal muscles (rectus abdominies, transversus abdomines) the person E to be trained lies down on the lying surface 3, for which purpose the pressure elements 7, 10 expediently their operating position swung away sideways upwards so that the area above the lying surface 3 free is. Depending on your wishes and height, you can Inclination of the head end 3a and the position of the footrest element 5 can be adjusted so that the chest area a person training in the field of Swivel arm 9 is positioned so that the pressure element 10 after swiveling down into the operating position and possibly a height adjustment compared to the Swivel arm 9 placed on the chest area of the person can be. Now if the person is bending his trunk Lifts the upper body from the lying surface 3, as in Figure 4 is indicated, the pressure element 10 with the Swivel arm 9 against the resistance caused by the Resistance device is opposed, clockwise pivoted. With the device according to the invention can so-called sit-ups performed under load strengthened the abdominal muscles very effectively can be.

Alternativ ist es auch möglich, mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Trainingsgerät die Gesäßmuskulatur sowie die innere und äußere Bauchmuskulatur zu trainieren. Hierzu werden die in den Figuren 5 und 6 dargestellten Übungsformen ausgeführt. Bei diesen ist nicht das am Schwenkhebel 9 vorgesehene Druckelement 10 aktiv, das entsprechend aus seiner Betriebslage seitlich nach oben weggeschwenkt wird, sondern das an den Führungsstangen 6 vorgesehene Druckelement 7. Dieses wird entsprechend aus der in Figur 4 dargestellten hochgeschwenkten Lage nach unten in seine Betriebsstellung verstellt, in der es sich quer über die Liegefläche 3 erstreckt, und anschließend so weit an den Führungsstangen 6 abgesenkt, bis es auf dem Hüftbereich der trainierenden Person zum Liegen kommt. Aus dieser unteren Endposition wird das Druckelement 7 dann durch Hebebewegungen des Hüft- und Beckenbereichs entgegen der durch die Widerstandseinrichtung entgegengesetzten Kraft angehoben und anschließend wieder abgesenkt. Diese Ausführungsform kann sowohl mit zwei angewinkelten Beinen, als auch mit einem gestreckten Bein ausgeführt werden. Bei der letzteren Ausführungsform wird zusätzlich noch die Oberschenkelmuskulatur des noch angewinkelten Beins mittrainiert. Bei dieser Übung wird somit gezielt die Muskulatur des angewinkelten Beins trainiert, so daß diese aufgebaut wird. Dies kann beispielsweise nach einer Verletzung sinnvoll sein.Alternatively, it is also possible with the invention Training device the glutes as well as the inner and to train the outer abdominal muscles. For this, the 5 and 6 exercise forms shown. These are not those provided on the pivot lever 9 Pressure element 10 active, the corresponding from his Operating position is swung away sideways upwards, but the pressure element provided on the guide rods 6 7. This is correspondingly shown in Figure 4 swiveled up position down into its operating position in which it is located across the Lying surface 3 extends, and then as far to the Guide rods 6 lowered until it is on the hip area the exercising person comes to rest. For this lower The end position is then the pressure element 7 by lifting movements of the hip and pelvic area against the opposing force by the resistance device raised and then lowered again. This embodiment can be used with two bent legs, as well as with a straight leg. In the latter embodiment, in addition the thigh muscles of the still bent leg trained at the same. In this exercise, the Muscles of the angled leg trained so that these is built up. This can, for example, after a Injury make sense.
