Abstract
The invention relates to a training machine for strength training and rehabilitation comprising pull or press means (42, 43), which are arranged to be moved to and fro, while a predetermined number of weights (18) of a weight package via connection means (22) are brought to be lifted and lowered, respectively, along an inner frame (8), and driving means (48, 49, 50) for lifting said predetermined number of weights in a continuous cycle by means of a first user force towards said pull or press means, and for lowering said predetermined number of weights by means of a second user force, wherein said first force is smaller than said second force. The inner frame is turnable along a substantially horizontal axis of oscillation (9), which is arranged at the lower end of the inner frame and said driving means (48, 49, 50) is arranged at a predetermined distance above the geometric center of the inner frame, so that the upper end of the inner frame is arranged to be moved to and fro from a predetermined angled position turned about said axis and an essentially vertical position.
