ABSTRACT:
A health improving gymnastic apparatus comprises a fixed frame, a carrier for carrying a body of a user, a rotary handle to be operated by the user getting on the carrier, and a power transmission mechanism. The carrier is provided with a foot holding unit to hold feet of the user. The carrier is rotatably supported by the fixed frame to give a rotary motion about a horizontal axis relative to the fixed frame between a standing position, where the user stands upright with one's feet held by the foot holding unit, and an upside-down position, where the user is suspended one's head down with one's feet held by the foot holding unit. The rotary handle is mounted on the carrier to give a rotary motion about a handle axis. The power transmission mechanism transmits the rotary motion of the rotary handle to the rotary motion of the carrier relative to the fixed frame. The gymnastic apparatus brings about an advantage that the user getting on the carrier can readily and safely obtain the upside-down position all by oneself without help of others.
