ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A body weight support system for skiing or other physical activities including at least one leg brace. The brace consists of a pair of parallel elongated tubular members interconnected by a cable, a plurality of cylindrical segment members are interposed in the knee section of the brace with the cable extending there- through to form non-resilient flexor means for allowing the brace to bend with the knee upon flexor of the knee. Tensioning means are provided for the cable to establish the tension therein and hence establish a maximum angle deflection of the flexor means. The brace and flexor means are non-resilient so that once the maximum angle is attained the brace resists further deflection. The brace also includes fabric means spanning the tubular members for supporting the legs of the wearer. Strap means are provided for securing the brace to the leg and to a boot (e.g., ski boot).
