Embodiment Construction

[0019] The physical training apparatus 10 shown in the drawings consists of a main frame 11, a moveable carriage 12, weight 13 and a cable 14 connected between the carriage 12 and the weight 13. The main frame 11 has a front portion 15 and a back portion 16 which collectively constitute the base of the main frame, and an upright portion 17 rearward of the front portion 15.

[0020] The upright portion 17 consists of a pair of spaced apart front upright posts 18 and a pair of spaced apart rear upright posts 19 connected together at their tops by longitudinal bars 20 which support a first pulley 21 adjacent the top of the rear posts 19 which extend upwardly from base supports 22.

[0021] A second pulley 23 is mounted adjacent the bottom of the rear posts 19 and a third pulley 24 is mounted at the front of the front portion 15 of the base. The carriage 12 travels along rails 25 and 26 mounted on pairs of uprights 27 and 28 connected to the front portion 15 of the base by pairs of side mem...

Abstract

A physical training apparatus (10) has a main frame (11) having a front portion (15) and a back portion (16), an upright portion (17) spaced from the front portion (15) and moveable carriage (12) slidable with respect to the front portion (15) of the main frame (11). A cable (14) is connected by one of its ends to the carriage (12) and extends from the front portion (15) to the upright portion (17). A weight (13) is pivotally mounted on the upright portion (17) and is connected to the other end of the cable (14) and is positioned above the base of the main frame rearward of the front portion (17), so that a driving force on the carriage (12) causes the weight (14) to rise thereby providing resistance to the driving force on the carriage (12).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to physical training machines and apparatus and more particularly to apparatus for developing and testing the strength and technique of athletes. [0002] For the sake of convenience, the invention will be described in relation to the use of the apparatus in developing the strength and technique of forward players in the sport of rugby union football but it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto as it will find application in other sports and activities. BACKGROUND ART [0003] Hitherto, physical training machines for developing the technique of forward players in the sport of rugby union football consist of a ground engaging carriage which carries spaced apart pads against which the players push with resistance to the push being created by the contact of the carriage with the ground. A disadvantage of such scrum training machines is that they do not develop muscular strength or simulate the dynamic forces encou...
