    Abstract: A training tool is formed in an integrated loop-like shape, which presents a substantially-wide rectangular frame as a whole in plan view by a pair of first grip parts that are substantially parallel to and opposed to each other and a pair of second grip parts that are substantially parallel to and opposed to each other with a distance narrower than the distance between the first grip parts. The first grip parts are formed in a straight or gently curved shape, while the second grip parts are bent in an arc in front view and are narrowed toward the inner side of the rectangular frame in plan view so that the middle portions thereof approach each other. Furthermore, the training tool is formed with a mixed resin material containing 50-80% of elastomer and 50-20% of polypropylene.
