EA008717B1 - Sports trainer for athletes - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to sports equipment and devices for physical exercises, in particular to running tracks mainly for strengthening superior shoulder-girdle, hands, back and abdominal muscles. The proposed invention is aimed at enhancing training effectiveness due to increase a number of muscles doing exercises, being suitable for training all body parts and comfortable and convenient for everyday training sessions. The claimed training device is characterized in that comprises a base, rollers mounted thereon, a continuous belt, a control panel and further comprises a support for legs executed as an adjustable by the base height in the form of a groove. The sporting trainer is further provided with a platform for a body adapted to a longitudinal platform movement relative to the trainer's base. There are some other differences from a prototype.

Description

The invention relates to the field of shells and devices for physical exercises, in particular to sports simulators - namely, tracks for physical exercises, mainly of the upper shoulder girdle, arms, back, press.

A variety of simulators are known - treadmills for exercise [1, 2, 3, 4]

The known simulator contains a body, a platform for legs equipped with an endless conveyor belt, a control panel, and handrails. The specified simulator is used mainly for jogging / walking exercises. The athlete stands on the platform, leans with his hands on the handrails, includes the necessary program for moving the conveyor belt and starts moving. The described simulators, mainly treadmills, are equipped with a variety of devices to prevent falling, measuring heart rate and heart rate.

As a prototype, a device for training in sports locomotion [5] was selected, including drums mounted on a frame covered by a conveyor belt; means for changing the angle of inclination of the conveyor belt, control panels.

The athlete stands on the conveyor belt, includes the necessary training program, sets the necessary angles of inclination of the belt and starts moving (running, walking).

The described simulator has several advantages, allowing you to strengthen the calf muscles, leg muscles, develops the human respiratory system, allows you to adjust the load on the muscles, choosing the necessary exercise program. However, it has several disadvantages.

The design of the simulator is aimed at training a limited number of human muscles. The shoulder girdle, arms, muscles of the back, neck and abs remain virtually unloaded. And for the development of these muscles at home, gyms, sports clubs, you have to purchase additional simulators, and this is an additional material cost.

The task to which the invention is directed is to eliminate the described disadvantages, namely, increasing the efficiency of the workout by increasing the number of muscles involved in the exercise, performing the simulator universal for all parts of the body, making the simulator comfortable and convenient for everyday exercises.

This problem is solved by the fact that in the inventive simulator containing a housing, rollers installed in it, around which an endless belt, a drive and a control panel are placed, according to the invention, the simulator is additionally equipped with a footrest, made in the form of a height-adjustable platform, in the form of a gutter.

The problem is also solved by the fact that the sports simulator is additionally equipped with a platform for the body with the possibility of longitudinal movement of the platform relative to the body of the simulator.

The problem is also solved by the fact that the platform for the body further comprises a massage element, for example massage rollers.

He also sets the task by the fact that the sports simulator is additionally equipped with palm rests along the edges of the body.

The problem is also solved by the fact that the platform for the legs is covered with a softening element.

In FIG. 1 shows a sports simulator, general view;

in FIG. 2 - platform for the body;

in FIG. 3 is a section AA of FIG. one.

The simulator consists of a housing 1, rollers 2, around which an endless conveyor belt (conveyor) 3 is placed, a control panel 4 that allows you to control the belt drive (not shown). The simulator is equipped with an emphasis for legs 5, made in the form of a height-adjustable gutter-shaped platform. The platform for the legs 5 is equipped with a softening element 6. On the body 1 of the simulator there is a platform for the body 7. On the body 1 there are supports for the arms 8. On the platform for the body, massage rollers are installed 9. On the platform for the body supporting legs 10 can be installed.

The device operates as follows.

The athlete is placed on the track face down or up. The legs are placed on the foot platform. When performing the exercise face down, the socks of the feet or special shoes are located in the gutter of the foot platform. When performing the face-up exercise, the heels of the feet or special shoes are located on the foot platform in the form of a gutter.

The platform for the legs is covered with a softening element so that the exercise is most comfortable and prevents the “parts” of the platform from “cutting” into the athlete’s legs.

Hands are located on the conveyor belt. After turning on a certain program on the control panel, forward movement begins. The conveyor belt can be installed at different angles, both relative to the horizontal axis and relative to the vertical axis, creating an imitation of movement from a mountain or downhill, slope. A man moves his hands in the direction opposite to the movement of the tape, trying to stay in one place.

The adjustable lifting height of the platform for the legs of the sports simulator above the ground allows you to change the load on the athlete's hands. Setting the foot platform at maximum

- 1 008717 altitude will result in maximum load on the athlete.

Placing a platform for the body on a sports simulator allows you to make the exercise safe - prevents contact of body parts with a moving conveyor. Mounting a massage element, such as massage rollers, on the body platform allows you to simultaneously massage the body.

In FIG. 2 shows a body platform in the form of a figure, repeating the upper shoulder girdle of a person.

Placing the support for the arms around the edges of the body makes the exercise more comfortable, since the athlete can, without stopping the conveyor movement, take a break in the exercise by placing his hands on the supports. At the same time, if the athlete wants to stop the exercise, he, relying on the support for the hands, turns off the sports simulator, thereby preventing a variety of injuries.

The simulator has developed design documentation. A test sample was made at the Institute of Physical Culture of the Republic of Belarus. A group of athletes is being completed to test the simulator. Scientific and methodological work is underway to develop exercises and determine the load from the use of various exercises and simulator use cases.
