RU2791613C1 - Method and device for controlling flexion and extension of arms in the lying position - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: sport medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions can be used to count the number of flexion and extension of the arms in the prone position during competitions and during training. According to the method, a software electronic measurement device is placed on the floor opposite the chest under the athlete in the "lying emphasis" position. The device includes an infrared range sensor, a pressure sensor placed on the platform, and a display. The method is based on measuring the distance from the device to the athlete at the upper and lower points of the body when the athlete is performing push-ups. After fixing the body in the “lying support” position, the device fixes the distance from the device to the body and with the help of a programme memorizes the “upper point”. After bending the arms, the device fixes the "lower point". The lower point is also determined by mechanical contact with the device. During the further performance of the exercise, the athlete must pass these points, otherwise the device will not record the attempt. The software stopwatch records the time spent by the athlete at the top and bottom points and the total time of the exercise.

EFFECT: if the exercise is performed correctly, the display will show the number of push-ups.

Description

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of methods and devices for automatically counting performed exercises in sports, in particular flexion and extension of the arms in support while lying on the floor.

State of the art

Known methods for assessing the reserves of physical health (see patents for inventions of the Russian Federation No. 2441580 and No. 2147208) in which there is an exercise for flexion and extension of the arms in emphasis lying on the floor, the number of push-ups is counted visually. The disadvantage should be considered the possible unreliability of the results due to the impossibility of precise control of the correctness of the exercise.

A known method for controlling the amount of flexion and extension of the arms in the lying position, implemented by a utility model (see utility model patent RU 111006), which has a fixed and movable platform with an opaque curtain, the movable platform can move along with the curtain in a vertical plane, when touched platform, the body overlaps the optical beam with a shutter and the fact of bending the arms is fixed by the electronic circuit and the value of the number of push-ups is displayed on the scoreboard. The disadvantage is the fact that the upper position of the body is not fixed, which can lead to refereeing errors, the time spent at the lower and upper points is not fixed, which is stipulated by the rules.

The closest to the proposed technical solution can be considered a method for controlling the number of flexion and extension of the arms in an emphasis lying on the floor (see patent for invention RU 2606913), in which for counting and signaling the results of counting attempts is carried out using a microcontroller and an alarm unit, and the initial position participant is recorded by acoustic rangefinders at three points of the body "hand-elbow-shoulder", located on a vertical bar, depending on the anthropometric data of the participant. The disadvantages of this method is the presence, in addition to the contact platform, of an additional rod with rangefinders, which should be installed depending on the anthropometric data of the athlete.

The essence of the invention

The aim of the present invention is a method for counting the number of flexions and extensions of the arms in the floor support and a device for implementing the method, which consists in placing an electronic device for counting the number of flexions on the floor opposite the chest under the athlete in the floor support position. and extension of the arms in the emphasis lying on the floor, which contains an infrared range sensor directed upwards at the athlete, after fixing the body in the position of the emphasis lying on the floor, the judge determines the correct position of the athlete, then an electronic device for counting the number of flexions and extensions of the arms in the emphasis lying on the floor fixes the distance from the device to the body and programmatically remembers the upper point, after bending the arms, the electronic device for counting the number of flexions and extensions of the arms in an emphasis lying on the floor fixes the lower point, at the moment the participant mechanically touches the pressure sensor installed through the transitional platform built into uh an electronic device for counting the number of flexion and extension of the arms in an emphasis lying on the floor, if the exercise is performed correctly, the value of the number of push-ups will be displayed on the display.

An electronic device for counting the number of flexions and extensions of the arms in the lying position on the floor, for implementing the method, characterized in that the electronic device for counting the number of flexions and extensions of the arms in the lying position on the floor contains an infrared range sensor directed upwards at the participant, a pressure sensor, installed through a transitional platform, wireless or wired connection with a remote scoreboard, computer or smartphone, while the result of the exercise is displayed digitally on the display of an electronic device for counting the number of flexions and extensions of the arms in an emphasis lying on the floor, a remote scoreboard, in a computer or smartphone.

In FIG. 1 schematically shows a method for controlling flexion and extension of the arms in a lying position and the components of the device.

According to the method, a software electronic measurement device 1 is placed on the floor opposite the chest under the athlete in the "lying emphasis" position. , display 5. The method is based on measuring the distance from the device to the athlete at the upper and lower points of the body during the exercise. With each bending of the arms, the athlete must pass the lower point and touch the platform, with each extension of the arms, the athlete must fully straighten his arms and pass the upper point. If the exercise is performed correctly, the display will show the value of the number of push-ups. Data can be transmitted to a smartphone or computer 6, remote display 7 via a wired or wireless communication channel. A referee from the software application can cancel a push-up performed in violation of the rules (bending the body, uneven extension of the arms, etc.). If you are at the "upper point" less than the time specified by the rules, and at the "lower point" more than the time specified by the rules, the device will not automatically count the attempt. When the time allotted for the exercise expires, the device will automatically stop the push-up counter.
