Abstract:
1. A training machine for strength training and rehabilitation comprising: a fixed outer frame extending upwardly a predetermined height; an inner frame having a proximal end and a distal end, said inner frame extending upwardly a predetermined height and being mounted within the fixed outer frame, said proximal end and said distal end being free ends of the inner frame not attached to the fixed outer frame, said proximal end is located at a top of said inner frame and said distal end is located at a bottom of said inner frame; a turning axis operatively positioned between said fixed outer frame and said inner frame, said turning axis being substantially centrally disposed between the proximal end and the distal end of the inner frame for selectively enabling a pivoting movement of the inner frame relative to the outer frame; pull or press means, which are arranged to be moved backwards and forwards while a pre-determined number of weights in one weight package is arranged to be slidably lifted and lowered, alternatively, by connection means, and wherein said pre-determined number of weights can be lifted in a continuous movement by a first user force against said pull or press means and then lowered by a second user force against said pull or press means, said first user force being less than said second user force, said inner frame carrying said weights and along which said weights are slidable during lifting and which is turnably journalled about said turning axis.
