Abstract: The present device is designed for training of highly-qualified athletes in cyclic sports. The technical result is the more reliable transfer of power from a drive to a working mechanism with the possibility of smoothing out ultrashort fluctuations (0.3-0.7 seconds) in force. The athlete training device comprises two bases, each having a pulley attached thereto for rotation in a single plane. An annular cable track is fastened between the pulleys. With the aid of a motor, a rotation rate is transmitted to one of the pulleys via a shaft. The shaft, which consists of a driving part and a driven part, has mounted thereon an adjustable transmission for controlling torque. The adjustable transmission is in the form of an electromagnetic powder clutch, consisting of a driving part, connected to the driving part of the shaft, and a driven part, connected to the driven part of the shaft.

Abstract: The present device relates to means for the individual training of highly-qualified athletes in cyclic sports. The technical result is the more reliable transfer of power from a drive to a working mechanism with the possibility of smoothing out ultrashort fluctuations (0.3-0.7 seconds) in force. The athlete training device comprises two spaced-apart bases, each having a pulley attached thereto for rotation in a single plane. An annular cable track is fastened between the pulleys, to which track a lanyard is secured by one end, the other end of the lanyard being fastened to a device for attaching the athlete. With the aid of a motor, a rotation rate is transmitted to one of the pulleys via a shaft. The shaft, which consists of a driving part and a driven part, has mounted thereon an adjustable transmission for controlling torque.
