Abstract
The invention relates to a physical training apparatus comprising a platform that mounts a column forming a surface which can rotate in a plane perpendicular to the column and on which a part of a user's body can be rested. The rest surface is connected to movement transmission means and these transmission means are in turn connected through a gear mechanism to load handling means. The gear mechanism is designed to convert the rotational movement of the rest surface performed by the user into a rotational movement of the load in a plane perpendicular to the platform, the rotational movement of the load being performed by muscular effort controlled by the user through the entire arc of the movement performed.
