Abstract: A training device for training the course of movement of a person by the manipulation of an object to be moved in a predetermined way has a data processing unit with which first sensors placed on the person are connected to transmit data of the movement to the data processing unit. Second sensors are placed on the object and connected to the data processing unit in order to transmit data of the movement of the object to the data processing unit. Mechanical actuating elements are placed on the object and connected to the data processing unit. They are triggered by the data processing unit to simulate contact with a virtual object as a tactile acknowledgement to the person. An indicator placed on the person and a memory for reference data are connected to the data processing unit, and the data processing unit calculates from the reference data the ideal course of movement of the body and the object and represents the ideal course of movement on the indicator.
