DEVICE FOR TRAINING ATHLETES AND METHOD OF ITS APPLICATION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A63B21/18 

FIELD: sports.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to sports equipment, in particular, to a device that creates a load forcing against the efforts of an athlete, and can be used as a simulator for development of muscle mass of a person. The device for training of athletes comprises a flexible rod, one end of which is fixed to the circumferential surface of a body of rotation, and the other end is designed for gripping by an athlete; at least one brake lining pressed to the body of rotation, mechanism for returning the flexible rod to the circumferential surface, a device for friction coefficient adjusting between the brake lining and body of rotation. The method of application of the device for training athletes lies in the fact that the athlete overcomes through muscle traction the resistance of motion created by the said device.

EFFECT: simplification of the simulator design, as well as increasing the efficiency of the training process due to the constant force forcing against the efforts of an athlete, along the entire length of the flexible rod.
