Abstract:
1. A training apparatus which may be used for training of particularly an upper part of the body of a human user and which is arranged to be placed on a ground surface, comprising: a support member with a longitudinal axis and an essentially planer support surface intended to carry the user during use of the training apparatus, wherein the support surface defines a plane and extends along the longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end, which support surface is arranged to face away from the ground surface during use of the training apparatus, two handles for application of forces from the hands of the user, which handles either are movable in relation to each other or are fixed in relation to each other, a first leg with a first end and a second end, and a second leg with a first end and a second end, which are arranged with their first ends attached rotatably in the support member around a first axis of rotation which is essentially parallel to the support surface, and with their second ends arranged to be placed against the ground surface, and a third leg with a first end and a second end, and a fourth leg with a first end and a second end, which are attached rotatably in the support member around a second axis of rotation which is essentially parallel to the support surface and with their second ends arranged to be placed against the ground surface, wherein the training apparatus is arranged so that the leg members are arranged to be rotated so that the distance between the support member and the ground surface increases when a force is applied on the handles, a first arm and a second arm, wherein the arms in a first end are rotatably attached to the support member around a third axis of rotation which is essentially parallel to the support surface and in the second end of which the handles are arranged, wherein the training apparatus is arranged so that the leg members are arranged to be rotated in the opposite direction in relation to each other so that the distance between the support member and the ground surface increases, when a force is applied to the handles so that the arms are rotated around the third axis of rotation, wherein the distance between the first end of the support member and the third axis of rotation is less than a third of the length of the support member, and wherein the handles are closer to the second end of the support member than to the first end of the support member.
