         5 . An equipment according to  claim 4 , wherein said frame is associated to a bucket seat comprising a seat and a backrest connected to each other by a respective elbow; said backrest being delimited by a respective free first portion at opposite side from said seat and said seat being delimited by a respective free second portion at opposite side from said backrest relative to said elbow; the said further female first member being designed so as to be associated with said elbow in a rigid manner to arrange said flexible member parallel to said backrest. 
     
     
         6 . An equipment according to  claim 5 , wherein a said female first member is designed to be associated rigidly to said free first portion and/or to said free second portion along a respective flank of said bucket seat and a further said female first member is designed to be associated to said elbow in a given manner to put said flexible member between two said adjacent female first members and to allow, in use, the performance of a gymnastic exercise arranged on said bucket seat. 
     
     
         7 . An equipment according to  claim 6 , characterised by comprising a guiding member which can be coupled to said bucket seat at the side of said seat and suitable to carry said further female first member in a freely slidable and selectively rigid manner to arrange said flexible member inclined at will relative to said backrest. 
     
     
         8 . A gymnastic equipment according to  claim 1 , characterised by comprising shell-wise means designed to be connected rigidly to said frame and shaped so as to support said load unit and to house said handgrip in rest position. 
     
     
         9 . An equipment according to  claim 1 , wherein said flexible member is substantially unextendable and in that said load unit comprises at least two return members of said flexible member that can be coupled to said frame so as to be substantially coplanar to each other to maintain the respective said end portions substantially aligned to each other; said load unit comprising a traction device designed to be carried rigid relative to said frame between said return members in an intermediate position between said end portions to connect them to each other in a loop and to define a substantially annular closed circuit. 
     
     
         10 . An equipment according to  claim 9 , wherein at least one said return member comprises a winding device for said flexible member. 
     
     
         11 . An equipment according to  claim 9  characterised by comprising at least one guiding member carried laterally by the frame to incline the closed circuit relative to said frame. 
     
     
         12 . An equipment according to  claim 1 , wherein said frame is designed to be installed on a car and/or an aeroplane and/or an office chair. 
     
     
         13 . A bucket seat provided with a frame supporting a seat and a backrest connected to each other by a respective elbow; said backrest being delimited by a respective free first portion at opposite side from said seat and said seat being delimited by a respective free second portion at opposite side from said backrest relative to said elbow; a gymnastic equipment being provided to perform a gymnastic exercise in sitting position and comprising at least one flexible member delimited by two end portions; a handgrip being carried by said flexible member between said two end portions; a load unit being associated to said flexible member to be suitable, in use, to exert resistance against movements of said handgrip relative to said frame; wherein said load unit is arranged between said end portions and connects them to each other. 
     
     
         14 . A bucket seat according to  claim 13 , wherein said flexible member is substantially unextendable and in that said load unit comprises at least two return members of said flexible member coupled to said frame so as to be substantially coplanar to each other to maintain the respective said end portions substantially aligned to each other; a traction device being provided to be carried rigid relative to said frame between said return members in an intermediate position between said end portions to connect them to each other in a loop and to define a substantially annular closed circuit. 
     
     
         15 . A bucket seat according to  claim 13 , characterised by comprising at least one guiding member carried laterally by said frame to incline the closed circuit relative to said backrest. 
     
     
         16 . A bucket seat according to  claim 13 , wherein at least one said return member comprises a winding device for said flexible member. 
     
     
         17 . A bucket seat according to  claim 16 , characterised by comprising shell-wise means designed to be connected rigidly to said frame and shaped so as to support said return members and said traction device so as to facilitate the relative permanent association to said frame. 
     
     
         18 . A bucket seat according to  claims 13 , characterised by being designed to be associated with a car and/or an aeroplane and/or an office chair.
