Claim One:
1. A gymnastic machine for simulating a skating movement, the gymnastic machine comprising: a frame carrying one load unit; and an exercise station for performing a training exercise, the exercise station including: a first functional group mechanically connected to the load unit in order to exchange mechanical energy with the load unit, said first functional group including: two first levers, and two footrests carried symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal median plane, in a rotatable manner and in an open chain by said frame along a given trajectory by the two first levers, with each first lever carrying a respective footrest; a second functional group positioned in said exercise station and including: two second levers each provided with a handgrip for each footrest; transmission means including two third levers each pivoted to said frame and configured to constrain each respective second lever and the respective footrest to operate in phase, with the transmission means being positioned between said first and second functional groups in order to connect each second lever to the respective footrest; an accumulator member for accumulating kinetic energy; and return means which includes, for each second lever, a first connecting rod which rigidly connects the corresponding said second lever and said accumulator member by means of a first crank, wherein the return means is carried by said frame configured to mechanically connect said two footrests so that a descending movement of one of said footrests corresponds to an ascending movement of the other footrest.
