Figure 1 shows in principle in a view from the left the training apparatus 100 with its components. Behind each of the components represented, visible to the left in the side view are respectively the right components arranged in direction visual of the user 10, according to figure 2. Successively described therefore in the description of figure 1 respectively the superior hierarchical component without denomination of the respective left or right component.

User 10 meets his feet 30 on the foot plates 26 which are arranged on supports 24 and their displaceability is guaranteed by rotating bearings of tread plates 28. The brackets 24 themselves are arranged in movable way on rotating support bearings 20, being arranged the rotating support bearings 20 on a plate of background 34.

On the bottom plate 34 are arranged additionally support elements 16 rotatably, on which they are arranged by joining elements 18 around a third y-axis y_ {3} so rotating thrust elements 12, which can be picked up by user 10 in the upper zone. The respective thrust element 12 is subdivided into an upper part of the thrust element 12A and in a lower part of the pushing element 12B, being joined the parts 12A, 12B with each other by means of telescopic elements 14. Within the training apparatus 100 several are arranged force receivers 22 that are ordered according to figure 1 inside of and / or on the telescopic elements 14 in the area of the rotary support bearings 20 and / or in the bearing area swivel plates 28 and / or the bearing elements 16.

The representation according to figure 1 is successively described in more detail by figure 2, where the top view cuts training apparatus 100 in a plane x-y, while figure 2 represents the apparatus 100 training cut in a z-x plane.

Figure 2 shows turn view from above the bottom plate 34, on which a bearing is visible swivel left and right support 20L, 20R. Bearing right and left support swivel 20L, 20R are arranged on a second y-axis y_ {2}. Bearing right and left support swivel 20L, 20R leads, distanced (figure 1) of the bottom plate 34, the left or right support 24L, 24R. At the free end of the left or right 24L bracket, 24R the left or right foot plate 26L, 26R is arranged. The left or right foot plate 26L, 26R is arranged, using the left or right foot plate swivel bearing 28L, 28R, some distance from the left or right 24L bracket, 24R (figure 1).

In an exit position the first or second z-axis z_ {1}, z_ {2} vertical on a first y-axis y_ {1} that extends transversely to the user's visual direction 10. Analogously to this extends a third or fourth z-axis z_ {3}, z_ {4} vertical bearing swivel support left or right 20L, 20R on the second y-axis y_ {2}. Rotating plate bearings footsteps 28L, 28R are located in the starting position represented on a third or fourth x-axis x_ {3}, x_ {4} inside the rotating bearings 20L, 20R on a second or fifth x-axis x_ {2}, x_ {5}, so that with a rotating movement of the respective supports 24L, 24R by the forces exerted on the respective plates footsteps 26L, 26R is in principle a light movement forward and yet mainly a rotating movement on a left or right circular track 32L, 32R.

In figure 2 there is an arrangement that is not represented, but at the same time according to the invention, in the which swivel plate bearing bearings 28L, 28R and 20L, 20R swivel bearing bearings are not arranged on different x-axes x_ {2}, x_ {3} or x_ {4}, x_ {5}, but the respective support bearing bearings 20L, 20R and the respective rotating plate bearing bearings 28L, 28R are arranged alignedly on a common rotating x-axis, for example the second x-axis x_ {2} or for example the fifth x-axis x_ {5}. Naturally as common axis enters also consider the third axis- x x_ {3} or the fourth x-axis x_ {4}.

The left or right foot plate 26L, 26R is represented in figure 2 in such a way that a center line designed in the longitudinal direction of the left foot plate or right 26L, 26R does not correspond in line with the line center of the left or right support 24L, 24R. For the plate left or right footstep 26L, 26R are thinkable however all positions along the x-y low plane turn around the first or second z-axis z_ {1}, z_ {2} both in the starting position and also in the turning position z1 'or z2' of the left or right foot plate 26L 'or 26R' and naturally in all intermediate positions.

The left or right foot plate 26L 26R, 26 is therefore also also vertically movable in z-direction Z_ {1}, Z_ {2} and can be tilted forward or backward on an x-axis thought or left or right on a y-axis thought and therefore is scrollable in all directions of space x, y, z.

A shift in the respective directions of the space x, y, z is realizable by means of elements suitable for avoid atypical postures of the feet regarding the movements of skating by corresponding stops (not shown) of the plate left or right footstep 26L, 26R.

According to the invention they can be formed for this. force receptors 22 in the area of the footplates 26L, 26R so that only a few are achievable displacements in the desired direction of travel or partial displacements in the direction of travel desired.

As force receptors 22 enter consideration in this case the elastic elements, elements shock absorbers, torsion bars with or without elements of additional interlocks for the realization of stops or the like between the respective components.

The training apparatus 100 described in the Figures 1 and 2 therefore serves to mimic the process of movement that takes place during the cross-country skiing race, especially during Nordic-Skating. He movement is effected by a push of the user's legs 10 along its shoulder axis and not by a movement of the legs forward. User 10 starts at the position of exit, with the legs (30 feet) arranged below the shoulder. The hands of the user 10 capture the pushing elements 12 a the height of the eyes or shoulder. User 10 is in this case slightly bent over the training apparatus 100

The course of movement on the apparatus of Training 100 occurs next as follows: user 10 performs a step fault with a force component forward in the x-direction as well as a lateral force component in y-direction, by example first of all by an effort on the tread plate right 26R and simultaneous transmission on the right support 24R, and therefore produces a rotating movement in the area of the second z-axis z_ {2} around the bearing swivel plate right foot plate 28R and swivel bearing right support 20R. In this case the body weight remains over the right leg. The user 10 thus displaces its center of gravity of the body. From this you get the dynamism necessary to push outside the right foot 30. The right foot plate 26R is fixed - as already described - in a variable manner on the bearing swivel plates right 28R and can be adapted to the Foot positions in all directions of space x, y, z. The left leg, or the left foot 30, remains approximately in the basic position. Preferably increase the effort with the leg distance from the starting position.

Being the center of gravity of the body shifted to the right side to the maximum, the movement begins contrary. The weight is now shifted on the left leg and the description regarding the skating step on the tread plate 26R right can be transmitted analogically on the movement of the effective left leg on the left foot plate 26L. In this case, therefore, a movement of the left leg with a force component in the x direction forward and essentially-sideways on the left foot plate 26L. The right leg is dragged back until the position has been reached again basic The center of gravity of the body is now on the left leg. Then the movement starts again contrary to the one described to the right.

The course of the movement allows the arms can be used in the opposite rhythm or by way of synchronous in the opposite direction to this movement. The mechanism carried out in training apparatus 100 is sufficiently variable for it.

The training apparatus 100 allows in this case the simultaneous movement of the arms in different techniques of arms. On the one hand an arm movement is achievable, which is called "cyclic movement of a time". Here occurs a Double cane travel with each side leg rejection.

In addition, a "double symmetric one" is provided. as an arm dynamism technique, here only one Double cane thrust with every second leg rejection. The one symmetrical double "is the fastest step and allows speed maximum

Finally, training apparatus 100 allows "the asymmetric double one" in terms of the technique of arms. The rods are not used in this case in parallel, but slightly displaced. The guide arm determines the side of the body which is most requested in this technique.

The training apparatus 100 also allows the following possibilities of passing modern Skating: It is achievable the cyclic movement of one time, two times, semi-skate and diagonal skate, whose transcripts of movement are simulably in an excellent way by the apparatus of training 100.

The device can be used as a priority in sports complexes such as fitness center. Thank you the whole body movement can be used as cardio-training and is also offered as Preparation for a winter ski resort.

Finally, boots can also be tested cross-country skiing by adapters adapted to the device training 100, so it is also a service appropriate in the sport store sales sector.
