TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a training apparatus for building up muscles of mainly upper extremities and the trunk. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus suitable for judo training.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] As is known, judo is a martial art in which players attempt to defeat each other with a variety of techniques. It is necessary to strength power to pull and push opponents and power to twist player' own body at the waist.

[0003] Currently, there are training apparatuses for strengthening power to pull the opponent. However, there is no training apparatus for strengthening power to push the opponent and power to twist the player' own bodies at the waist.

[0004] There conventionally exist training apparatuses for building up muscles of the upper extremities and the trunk. However, most of the apparatuses provide training by repeating simple motions. There is no training apparatus which can provide training in motions similar to complicated motions of a standing position in judo matches. The development of such training apparatuses has been demanded.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a training apparatus for building up muscles of mainly the upper extremities and the trunk, and more particularly to provide an apparatus suitable for judo training.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, a training apparatus according to a first invention includes a bar longer than a shoulder width of a training exerciser; a press operation section which is rotatably attached to an intermediate portion of the bar with a rotation shaft perpendicular to the bar, and which is formed in a way that the training exerciser operates the press operation section by grasping portions on both sides of the rotation shaft; and a load application section which applies a load to both ends of the bar, the load acting against a pressing force applied to the bar with the press operation section.

[0007] Moreover, a training apparatus according to a second invention includes a bar longer than a shoulder width of a training exerciser; and a plurality of elastic members connecting a surface on which the training exerciser stands to both ends of the bar. Each of the plurality of elastic members allows, within the limitation of elasticity, up-and-down movements of the bar and twists thereof and applies a load to the bar, the load acting against the upward movements of the bar and the twists thereof

[0008] Furthermore, a training apparatus according to a third invention includes a bar longer than a shoulder width of a training exerciser; and a plurality of elastic members, which are attached to both ends of the bar, and which connect the bar between two fixtures arranged at both sides of a space where the training exerciser performs training. Each of the plurality of elastic members allows free movements of the bar within the limitation of elasticity and applies a load acting against the movements to the bar.

[0009] Still moreover, a training apparatus according to a fourth invention includes a body binding section which is bound around the body of a training exerciser; and a plurality of elastic members which connect the body binding section to fixtures arranged around a space where the training exerciser performs training. Each of the plurality of elastic members allows twists of the body binding section within the limitation of elasticity and applies a load acting against the twists to the body binding section.
