  • Publication number: 20100125031
    Abstract: A training device for training a body part of a user is configured to advantageously limit the resonance movement of the flexible coupling member generated by the vibration of the vibrating device. The training device comprises a vibrating device for generating a vibration and a pretensioning device for generating a pre-tension in a muscle of the body part. The pretensioning device comprises a handling member configured to be held by the user, a reeling means for reeling a flexible coupling member, and a tensioning means for driving the reeling means such that the flexible coupling member is tensioned to allow the vibration generated by the vibrating device to be transferred to the handling member. The tensioning means comprises a fluid resistance means configured to provide a variable resistance against the unreeling of the flexible coupling member but to provide substantially no resistance against the reeling of the flexible coupling member.

  • Publication number: 20080275373
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fitness machine (1) for training the body, comprising a frame (2) with a vibration element (3), a vibration generator (4) operatively connected to the vibration element (3). The vibration element (3) is supported by vibration absorbing frame supports (9). Adjusting an absorption level of the frame supports (9) enables to set the vibration absorption in such a way that vibrations of the vibration element (3) are damped to a selected degree, as a result of which a training load desired by the user can be obtained.
