Abstract: A shaped body (1) of plastic material with rounded outer contours is used for carrying out a method of active motion therapy by filling bulk material (11) of shaped bodies (1) into a container (12). The limbs (13) to be trained are immersed into the bulk material (11) and exercises are carried out. The shaped body (1) is symmetrical relative to a first plane defined by a first substantially oval outer periphery (U1) of the shaped body (1), asymmetrical relative to a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane and defined by a second substantially oval outer periphery (U2) of the shaped body (1), and asymmetrical relative to a third plane defined by a third outer periphery (U3) of the shaped body (1), which is substantially perpendicular to both the first and second planes. The shaped body effects a resistance to motion which is nearly independent of the exercising direction.

Abstract: A seat eliminates any danger of accident during use when attached to a suspended rope. A plate-shaped seat body (1) has an axial passage (3) and a horizontal channel (14) disposed outside of the passage (3). The rope (7) is passed through the passage (3) and has a radial section (16) which is guided over the lower side of the seat body (1) and through the channel (14) and the rope end (17) is passed beneath the radial section (16) to form a knot.
