1. A training device comprising
a compressive-force receiver, which is deformable under an impact of a muscular force, and which comprises a pressure chamber in which a gel-like, liquid, or gaseous medium is provided,
a base that is supportable on a supporting surface and that serves for holding the compressive-force receiver, and
at least one sensor with which the medium is in direct contact and with which a pressure of the medium in the pressure chamber is measurable, wherein:
the compressive-force receiver comprises an elastically deformable first receiver part and a second receiver part, which the first receiver part and the second receiver part are connected form-fittingly, force-fittingly or integrally to one another and in which the first receiver part and the second receiver part define the pressure chamber;
the first receiver part comprises a wall system which serves to receive the muscular force and which delimits the pressure chamber at a top and at least partially laterally;
the second receiver part comprises a bottom unit which delimits an underside of the pressure chamber and which adjoins the wall system;
the second receiver part has a lower elasticity than the first receiver part; and
the second receiver part is connected releasably, form-fittingly, or force-fittingly, or integrally to the base.
