Training apparatus, in particular for climbing

Training apparatus, especially for climbing sports, attached to a wall or a permanent fixed structure, including a hangboard, equipped with differently-shaped grips which are either projecting parts or recesses, and which the athlete can grasp with extended arms in order to suspend his body from it without touching the earth or floor;

• characterized by the fact that the hangboard, equipped with grips, is vertically moveable in a supporting element at the wall or at a fixed structure and that this supporting element is equipped with an element or a protruding flange acting as the lower end-stop for the moveable hangboard;
• that springs or elastic components act between the fixed supporting element and the hangboard equipped with grips which press or pull the hangboard upwards so that if no load is applied to the grips the athlete is to assume a slightly elevated position with respect to the lower end-stop and that the positions of the moveable hangboard when loaded or not loaded are acquired by an acquisition instrument which is permanently connected with the moveable hangboard mechanically, electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically.
