ABSTRACT:
A rope friction resistance exercise device (10) for swimmers is disclosed. The device closely simulates the arm movements of a swimmer while using the crawl stroke. The body member (26) has a fixed crosspiece (28) attached to one end and a rotatable crosspiece (30) attached to its other end. Crosspiece (30) is held on body member (26) by retaining ring (32). Rope (12) is looped over fixed crosspiece (28) and wrapped around the body (26). The ends (22 and 24) of rope (12) are threaded through opposite sides of a square-shaped ring (34) which is attached at two points to opposite sides of rotatable crosspiece (30). Body member (26) is perforated by offset holes spaced 30 degrees apart in two rows. A detent assembly (42) located inside the rotatable crosspiece (30) latches crosspiece (30) into particular positions. The amount of friction and therefore the amount of resistance may be increased by rotating crosspiece (30) through its twelve numbered positions in increasing numerical order. A Y-shaped bracket hanger (36) is pivotally attached to fixed crosspiece (28). Bracket hanger (36) is in turn pivotally attached to wall bracket (38).
