Muscle training apparatus allowing the user to exercise particularly his lower limbs as for training in sliding sports such as snow or water skiing, includes a base adapted to be anchored on a reference surface, the base having a arcuate shaped track formed of two concentric paths, each path having a curved concentric rail, and a pair of moveable carriages, each having grooved wheels for bearing on the concentric rails. Each carriage has a shoe connected to its upper part for articulation, the shoe being adapted to receive the foot of the user and to rotate about an axis parallel to a simulated direction of a ski. Each shoe includes a brake for blocking movement of the carriage over the track so as to a simulate an edge taking skiing technique by placing the user in a position corresponding to that actually taken during skiing.

Muscle training apparatus allowing a user to exercise lower limbs comprising a base (2) providing the user with a training position with respect to a reference surface (3) on which the base is located, the base having an arcuate shaped track (4) with front and rear sides and lateral ends, and formed of two concentric paths (5, 6), one path (5) of which is an external path and the other path (6) is an internal path, the paths (5, 6) being carried by main sections (7, 8) of the base, and the main sections (7, 8) being connected together by end sections (9, 10) of the base, two running strips on the paths (5,6) comprising curved concentric rails (11,12), at least one moveable carriage (14, 15) bearing on said running strips with running members (13), the carriage having, in profile, a U shape and legs to which the running members (13) are connected, a shoe (18) connected to an upper part (16) of the carriage by an articulation means (17), the shoe (18) being adapted to receive a foot of the user and the articulation means (17) being formed to allow rotation of the shoe about an axis, and braking means on the shoe for braking, at least over a certain extent of the rotation, the movement of the carriage over the track so as to simulate the result in alpine skiing of an edge taking technique, the apparatus being formed as to place the user in a position corresponding to one actually taken during practice of skiing, despite the resultant guidance of the paths, wherein the track rises at one of its front or rear sides and at both lateral ends, wherein the paths have internal (19) and external (20) sides with respect to a center of the base (2) formed by internal (21) and external (22) dividing walls, each path (5,6) being situated at the bottom of a groove (23, 24) having a width scarcely greater than that of the running members (13) and the legs of the carriage, and wherein on a top of each of the internal dividing walls (21) of the paths (5, 6) there is fixed, by removable means, an anti-derailment plate (25, 26) provided, all along the path, with a counter rail (27, 28) descending towards the running strip of the corresponding path (5 or 6) to a height (H) scarcely greater than that of the running member (13).
