ABSTRACT:
A gymnastic training device has a conventional training belt adapted to support a gymnast at the waist. A pair of elongated resilient supporting assemblies are attached to opposite sides of the training belt and are comprised of bungy cords which can be selectively added or removed with respect to the assemblies to adjust the resilient capabilities thereof. A pulley support means including a pair of laterally positioned pulleys and at least one elevated pulley are supported over the normal position of the training belt by either a self-standing frame or by a frame assembly attached to the ceiling of a building. A first cable has a center portion and opposite ends with the opposite ends being secured to each of the free ends of the elongated resilient supporting assemblies. The first cable has its center portion threaded over the laterally positioned pulleys and the elevated pulley whereby the training belt is centrally supported between and below the laterally positioned pulleys and above a generally horizontal gymnastic surface. A loop is formed in the first cable and extends downwardly below one of the laterally positioned cables. The loop has a pulley thereon which is secured to the upper end of a second cable which has its lower end secured to an anchored crank mechanism whereby the operation of the crank mechanism can adjust the length of the first cable and thereby adjust the effective height of the training belt.
