ABSTRACT:
An exercising and training apparatus particularly for use for training for alpine skiing. The apparatus comprises a frame having a platform pivotably secured to the frame for movement from side-to-side through a convex arcuate path to provide lateral motion for the user's feet and an accentuated degree of forced vertical motion. At the same time the platform tilts to the outside as it moves through its arcuate path. The platform is associated with spring biasing means to increase the resistance against sideways movement of the platform increasingly with sideways movement. The apparatus according to the present invention closely duplicates the motion and rhythm required in alpine skiing and thus improves skiing techniques as it strengthens the user's leg muscles.
