Abstract
The present invention addresses the technical problem of providing an ankle muscle resistance-training apparatus which induces an angle change of the ankle while the ankle is actively moving, and can improve strength of the ankle muscle by applying resistance force to the ankle movement. To this end, the ankle muscle resistance-training apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a support member; a first movement guiding shaft; an intermediate member; a second movement guiding shaft; a foot support; a first resistance force application part; and a second resistance force application part. The first resistance force application part is linked with the first movement guiding shaft and applies resistance force of an adjustable intensity against the active ankle movement of a user made with respect to the first movement guiding shaft in a state in which the foot is placed on the foot support, and the second resistance force application part is linked with the second movement guiding shaft and applies resistance force of an adjustable intensity against the active ankle movement of a user made with respect to the second movement guiding shaft in the state in which the foot is placed on the foot support.
