Gymnastic machine

Abstract

A gymnastic machine (1) comprising a frame (10); load means (20) carried by the frame (10); at least an interface (30) designed to train at least a given first body region (B1) of a user; a positioning device (40) being provided for placing and maintaining a second body region (B2) of the user in a given position (P1) relative to each interface (30) in order to optimise training of each first body region (B1); the positioning device (40) comprising at least a reference element (41) rigidly positioned with respect to the frame (10) to indicate univocally the given position (P1) for the given second body region (B2).

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a gymnastic machine designed to train at least a given body region. In particular, the present invention relates to a gymnastic machine comprising at least a support member for supporting a body region. In more detail, the present invention relates to a gymnastic machine comprising at least a support member for supporting a body region and a positioning device for correct positioning of this body region with respect to the support member.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]In the field of gymnastic machines of the isotonic type, usable for training given body regions through involvement of given muscle groups, it is well known that the effectiveness of the performed exercise depends upon the posture of the user during the preparatory phase and during the execution of the exercise. Each machine is provided with regulating members for adjusting the position of seats and / or of supports for the breastbone and / or of other support members for supporting...

Problems solved by technology

Each machine is provided with regulating members for adjusting the position of seats and / or of supports for the breastbone and / or of other support members for supporting given body regions, and with graduated scales associated with these regulating members; however, only the most experienced users remember the reference values of the regulating members exactly and although the presence of mirrors in a gym or on the machine itself allows to monitor the progress of the exercise, it does not fully replace the use of a reference table or the advice of a fitness trainer to allow to assume the correct postures on the machines to be used during a training session.

It is well understood that an inexperienced user or a user not provided with the table with the notes drawn up by a trainer, or simply an experienced user who approaches a new machine, could have operating problems and could risk injuries for having incorrectly set the adjustments of the seats or of the different supports.

In view of the above description, this situation does not appear satisfactory; furthermore, the problem of allowing a precise adjustment also in the absence of information supplied by third parties who assist the user in given times shall be solved in an organic manner, so that even when changing implements and therefore relative references, each user is capable of adjusting each gymnastic machine he or she intends to use.
