Abstract

A leg exercise apparatus installable on an upright. The apparatus includes a fixing system installable on the upright and an arm extending along a first direction and hinged to the fixing system so as to be rotatable relative to a hinge axis. The apparatus further includes a first push roller mounted on one side of the arm, a rod for holding weights, and a support for supporting the rod at a first distance from the arm. The support is mounted on the arm.

         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said support is configured so that the rod is maintained at the first distance from the arm during the rotation of the arm relative to the hinge axis. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said support comprises a plate extending between a first end mounted on the arm on the opposite side relative to the first roller and a second free end, said rod being fixed to the plate. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein said plate has a profile that is tapered from the first end towards the second end. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein said plate has a substantially triangular shape. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein said arm has a plurality of first transverse through holes, said plate having at least two second holes coupled to two corresponding first holes of the arm by an equal number of locking elements. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixing system comprises a configuration for limiting the rotation of the arm, the configuration includes a plurality of openings arranged in proximity to the hinge axis and at least one limiter element removably inserted in one of the openings. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first roller and the rod extend away from the arm respectively along a second direction and a third direction opposite to each other, parallel but not coincident. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , comprising a second support roller mounted on the fixing system on the same side of the arm as the first roller. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the upright is part of a rack. 
     
     
         11 . An exercise station comprising:
 a rack comprising at least one upright;   a leg exercise apparatus including:
 a fixing system, installable on the upright; 
 an arm extending along a first direction and hinged to the fixing system so as to be rotatable relative to a hinge axis; 
 a first push roller mounted on one side of the arm; 
 a rod for holding weights; and 
 a support for supporting the rod at a first distance from the arm, said support being mounted on the arm, wherein the fixing system of the apparatus is mounted on the upright. 
   
     
     
         12 . The exercise station according to  claim 11 , wherein said support is configured so that the rod is maintained at the first distance from the arm during the rotation of the arm relative to the hinge axis. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise station according to  claim 11 , wherein said support comprises a plate extending between a first end mounted on the arm on the opposite side relative to the first roller and a second free end, said rod being fixed to the plate. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise station according to  claim 13 , wherein said plate has a profile that is tapered from the first end towards the second end. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise station according to  claim 13 , wherein said plate has a substantially triangular shape. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise station according to  claim 13 , wherein said arm has a plurality of first transverse through holes, said plate having at least two second holes coupled to two corresponding first holes of the arm by an equal number of locking elements. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise station according to  claim 11 , wherein the fixing system comprises a configuration that limits the rotation of the arm, the configuration includes a plurality of openings arranged in proximity to the hinge axis and at least one limiter element removably inserted in one of the openings. 
     
     
         18 . The exercise station according to  claim 11 , wherein the first roller and the rod extend away from the arm respectively along a second direction and a third direction opposite to each other, parallel but not coincident. 
     
     
         19 . The exercise station according to  claim 11 , comprising a second support roller mounted on the fixing system on the same side of the arm as the first roller.
