Apparatus for simulating and representing the forces arising during windsurfing

摘要

The forces include the forces which are of importance with regard to sports medicine. The apparatus has a windsurfing board (1) which, in the nature of a model, is reduced in size in comparison with the actual windsurfing boards, and a rig (2) of corresponding size, conventionally connected to the windsurfing board (1), and a forked boom (7). The windsurfing board (1) preferably has a number of through-openings (11,15,16,31), one of the openings forming, by means of a rod-like part (14,15), the axis of rotation of the board. The axis of rotation simulates the centre of gravity of the lateral-plane surface. The windsurfing board (1) is rotatable relative to a support foot (13). A shaft (35) is provided and can be inserted into one of the openings (11,15,16,31), and a mounting surface (36) is attached on said shaft so as to be rotatable relative to the top surface of the windsurfing board (1). A dummy (20) can be attached to the mounting surface (36) and is connected to the forked boom (7), preferably by a cord (33). IMAGE
