  • Publication number: 20170014662
    Abstract: A portable exercise machine (1), for the execution of gymnastic and/or rehabilitation exercises through the extension of an elastic element, comprising: a base or platform (2) of small size, having a plan extension slightly greater than that of the area covered by the footprints of two feet, and that can be contained in a cabin briefcase, said base or platform (2) being usable to stabilize the machine by means of the weight or the thrust of the user; only one gripping element or handle (3) of cylindrical shape having a longitudinal length or first length suitable to allow a two handed grip; an elastic band (4) whose ends are respectively fixed to said base (2) and to said gripping element or handle (4), the width of said elastic band (4) being inferior to said first length of the handle (3) in order to leave two free zones on the two sides of the band when the same band is wound around the handle (3), the length of the portion of the elastic band used for an exercise being variable due to the winding of th

  • Publication number: 20160067542
    Abstract: A portable exercise machine (1), for the execution of gymnastic and/or rehabilitation exercises through the extension of an elastic element, characterized in that it comprises: a base or platform (2) of small size, adapted to be transportable in a cabin briefcase, said base or platform being usable to stabilize the machine by means of the weight or the thrust of the user; a gripping element or handle (3) of cylindrical shape, provided with a device (130) for sensing the three-dimensional motion, adapted to transmit a signal relating to the displacement carried out and usable for displaying on an electronic device (105) the trajectory of the movement performed by the gripping element or handle (3); an elastic band (4) whose ends are respectively fixed to said base (2) and to said gripping element or handle (3), the length of the portion of the elastic band used for an exercise being variable due to the winding of the same elastic band (4) around the element gripping or handle (3).
