Horizontal bars with captain's chair

Captain's chair

— a captain's chair is most often referred to as an accessory for the parallel bars (see "Product type"), which allows you to perform abdominal exercises by raising or holding your legs in a vertical position of the body. Captain\s chair consists of a pair of vertical handles on the parallel bars and a soft pad for the back (sometimes soft pads for the arms on the bars are also provided). When performing the exercise, the athlete holds on to the vertical handles so that the forearms lie on the bars and the legs hang in the air; from this position, it is very convenient to perform leg raises and holds.

There is also another kind of captain's chair — in the form of additional devices for a removable horizontal bar with installation in a doorway (see "Mounting"). Such devices allow you to use the horizontal bar as an additional device for situps on the floor.
