In the basic position shown, simple rocking movements can be performed a device of this type has been known for some time. To one To get better standing space for the seesaw movement is a rectangular stand board 10, with support blocks 12 and a central centering pin 11 provided with play in engages a ring 3 of the bearing shell 2.

According to the invention, a base plate 100 (FIG. 5) is provided, which is opposite the base plate 1 is rotatably arranged, so that with the base plate 100 one of the Rocking movement superimposed rotational movement is executable.

For this, on the side of the base plate 1 opposite the luffing skids 4 a central bearing shell 2 is arranged, the one relative to the base plate 1 The axis of rotation 70, which is essentially normal to the base plate 1, is rotatably mounted.

This bearing shell is in the rocking mode of FIG. 1 with the stand board 10 except Function set to be able to carry out the known rocking movements.

An application of the sports device according to the invention is shown in FIG. 5. For this purpose, the bearing shell 2 is brought into operative connection with the base plate 100, so that with this a rocking movement as in Figure 1 and also one superimposed on the rocking movement Rotational movement is executable.

For this purpose, the base plate 100 executes the through the bearing shell 2 enabled rotary movements. The exercising person, who is on the stand plate 100 standing, sitting, kneeling or otherwise crouching in a shape can now by Body movements Rotational movements and seesaw movements overlap in such a way that effectively relaxes the muscles. This is especially true in standing Position in which the pelvic muscles can be cleared of blockages. this has especially for competitive athletes but also for people who do no other sport pursue a very positive effect. Caused by one-sided stress Asymmetries in the body can be compensated very well.

The rotational movement is particularly low-friction because the Bearing shell 2 is mounted in a ball bearing 8.

The bearing shell 2 is designed in the form of a hollow cylinder in FIG. 5, whose axis of symmetry forms the axis of rotation 70. The contact surface with which the active contact can be produced with the base plate 100, is due to that facing away from the base plate 1 End face 128 of the hollow cylinder (Fig.2) is formed.

There is a roller 21 at each of the opposite end regions two side parts 38 attached. However, the shape of the stand plate 100 is not Restricted and in the simplest case can also be rectangular or circular his.

In addition, on the side edges of the side parts 38 of the base plate 100 limit strips 28 are provided, which are intended to prevent the user from having Rotation-rocking movements slip off the stand board.

Another applicable function of the sports device according to the invention, which in Fig. 2 is shown is given by the fact that on one side of the base plate 1 is a central Arranged, spherical, elastic rolling element 9 is provided, which is opposite the Base plate 1 about an axis of rotation 70 extending essentially normal to base plate 1 is rotatably mounted.

For this purpose, the central bearing shell 2 arranged on the base plate 1 has one about the rotational axis of the symmetrical opening into which the spherical, elastic. Roll element 9 can be used. The opening is dimensioned so that the spherical, elastic rolling element 9 can be pressed into this opening of the bearing shell 2 and because of the pressing friction remains in it. Other reporting mechanisms for the Rolling element 9 are provided, but the one shown in FIG. 2 has the advantage that the Bearing shell 2 is suitable for this on the one hand and on the other hand it also accommodates the Centering pin can serve in the application shown in Fig. 5, so that with a Base plate both functions are executable.

The spherical, elastic rolling element is preferred by a Tennis ball 9 formed, as can be seen from Fig.4. So that when using the page 5 of the base plate 1 as a standing surface rolling movements with the invention Running sports equipment.

In order to rule out a disability, the luffing skids 4 can be detachably attached to the Base plate 1 may be attached, for example, by being pluggable.

In order to train the stability and the sense of balance, the Training person with their feet on the stand 5 and now tries on one Support point 6 of the tennis ball 9 to keep the balance, due to the ball-bearing Rotation of the bearing shell 2 comes as an additional level of difficulty Compensate for rotations that can arise from the weight shift. You can also try to keep your balance despite swinging your pelvis. This simulates snowboarding or skiing movements.

In the same way, the sense of balance can be trained by the Training person puts his buttocks on the side 5 of the disc-shaped basic element and stretch your legs parallel to it. By shifting weight then the balance is kept on the support point 6 of the tennis ball 9.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7, the Base plate 1, from which the luffing skids have been removed, next to the bearing shell 2 a further central bearing shell 2 'arranged, which in relation to the base plate 1 in The axis of rotation 70, which is essentially normal to the base plate 1, is rotatably mounted.

The bearing shell 2 'can be brought into operative connection with a base plate 100, so that with the base plate 100 an additional rotational movement to that of Rolling motion superimposed rotary motion is executable. Mastery of this Combination of two rotational movements and one rolling movement requires special Dexterity and thus represents the highest level of difficulty.

The bearing shell 2 'is exactly like the bearing shell 2 in the form of a Hollow cylinder formed, the axis of symmetry forms the axis of rotation 70, wherein the of The end face 28 'of the hollow cylinder facing away from the base plate 1 forms the contact area.

The base plate 100 corresponds to that shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

If the tennis ball 9 is removed from the bearing shell 2 and the Skids 4 reinserted into the base plate 100, a rocking and rotating movement as can be done with the sports equipment shown in FIG.

The sports equipment shown in Figures 2, 5 and 7 can be combined with the Stand plate 100 and 9 different with the elastic rolling element Training opportunities too, with the superposition of a seesaw and a Rotation movement as well as the superimposition of a rolling and rotation movement and the same sports equipment can be carried out.

Because of these possible forms of movement, a psychomotor, psychomuscular training for preventive and therapeutic purposes.

A complex psychoregulation program is carried out, the Elements of different mental exercises, e.g. Balance, tilting and turning exercises, swing dynamic exercises, muscular tension and relaxation or similar includes and on a Harmonization and activation of psychological processes, e.g. coherent vibrations both hemispheres of the brain, hemispherical synchronization, concentration-attention regulation etc. as well as the optimization of physiological processes, e.g. Regulation of emotional processes, improvement of movement perception and the Feeling of movement, neuromuscular sensitization or similar is directed.

Depending on the choice of exercises, the sports device according to the invention serves Movement modulation or the stabilization of the ankles, the knee joints, the Pelvic area and the strengthening of the entire postural apparatus, especially the Leg, pelvic and abdominal muscles. This also relieves the Spine through correct posture.

This offers the possibility of structured and receptive Learning, the actual mental movement learning. According to the principle of open and closed skills in sport (Knapp 1963/64) it is important to note that in open movements can be stored closed, which always depends on the environment expire immediately. The learner has the opportunity to independently assess errors. The learner should develop a reliable internal error detection mechanism the one based on the evaluation of his own intrinsic kinesthetic, visual and auditory Feedbacks based. This should significantly encourage the acquisition of new freedom of movement. This means not only greater precision but also greater stability of the basic movement pattern or movement technique.

There is therefore a change in subjective experience. The Changes in the external movement and the underlying one Execution and control processes go hand in hand with changes in subjective experience. Secondary automatisms are experienced as mentally effortless. The movements take place - without any action on your part - as if by themselves, comparable to subjective experience of reflexes, the flow experience.
