  • the present invention relates generally to exercising apparatuses and in particular to equipment for concentric and eccentric exercise.
  • a prior art apparatus disclosed in GB-2,532,718 A comprises a housing inside which a carriage having four wheels rolls through a channel and a vertical grip attached to the carriage. The user pushes or pulls the grip forwards and backwards to move the carriage which is connected to a chain. The chain is coupled to a heavy fly-wheel arranged separately from the housing. A resistance adjustment knob is provided in order for the user to select a desired resistance in the exercise.
  • This apparatus is large and bulky and requires a dedicated support frame. It cannot easily be adapted to other applications. Summary of the Invention

In particular it enables working in two directions using opposite muscles for the same set-up of the device. Due to the inventive design the apparatus requires very little space.
  • a simple unit device which provides a counter force against movement of a handle in opposite directions along an essentially straight path.
  • the new device provides similar exercise in both directions.
  • the invention relates to an exercising device comprising an elongated support structure for supporting the components of the apparatus, a handle slidably coupled to the support structure and arranged so as to be movable in at least two opposite directions in an essentially linear path with respect to the support structure, and means for providing a counter-force to movement of the handle in both directions, said means preferably being directly connected to the handle.
