EA010250B1 - Sports exercise trainer - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to trainers and devices for physical exercises, in particular, to sports trainers for doing physical exercises, mainly for upper limb girdle, hands, back and prelum.The proposed invention is aimed at eliminating said physical defects, namely for using said trainers and devices more effectively both in the open air and in the inside facilities, improving training process due to more participating muscles, convenient for every day practice and compact for storing.According to the invention the trainer is made as a platform with at least three wheels arranged at the platform edge and adapted for free rotation around vertical axis.There are some other differences from the prototype.Advantages of the trainer lie in the simplicity of its manufacture, compactness and universality of its use.

Description

The invention relates to projectiles and devices for exercise, in particular to sports equipment for exercise, mainly the upper shoulder girdle, arms, back, and press.

There are a variety of simulators for exercise [1, 2, 4, 5].

Known simulators contain a supporting platform, rollers, frame, elements for placing the legs, located in the upper part of the supporting platform. Exercise machines are designed for use outdoors.

The “board on wheels” was chosen as a prototype. US patent No. 5855385 [2]. The known solution comprises a frame made in the form of a board with side concave sides, at least two wheels located along a central longitudinal axis, and at least three wheels on each curved side.

The described “board” is used as a kind of skateboard board. It allows you to strengthen the muscles of the legs. At the same time using the board develop skills to maintain balance. The use of the “board” develops the skills of sliding on a snowboard, when used on an ordinary dirt surface. However, it has several drawbacks.

When using "boards on wheels" is loaded a limited number of muscles. Training of the muscles of the arms, abs and back is practically not performed. The specified simulator can not be used effectively in enclosed spaces, gyms, in apartments (due to limited space).

Technical problem on which the invention is directed, is the elimination of the described disadvantages, namely the increase of versatility through the use of both at home and in nature, in open areas; increase the effectiveness of training by increasing the number of muscles involved in the exercise; at the same time, the design of the simulator should be compact for easy storage at home.

The technical problem is solved by the fact that in the inventive simulator containing a frame, wheels on axles, according to the invention, the frame is made in the form of a platform, at the edges of which at least three wheels are installed with the possibility of free rotation around the vertical axis.

The task is also solved by the fact that on the platform are installed fasteners made in the form of a belt with a fastener.

The task is also solved by the fact that the platform on top is covered with a softening material.

The task is also solved by the fact that at least on one side of the platform a handle is installed with a softening anti-slip material with the possibility of rotation around its axis.

The task is also solved by the fact that the axis of rotation of all the wheels is offset relative to the vertical axis of rotation.

The invention is illustrated by drawings:

in fig. 1 - front view of the simulator;

in fig. 2 - top view of the simulator (made three-wheeled) with holes for fastening fasteners;

in fig. 3 - top view of the simulator (made four-wheel) with holes for fastening fasteners;

in fig. 4 - a general view of the simulator with two handles.

The simulator consists of a frame 1 and wheels 2. The frame is equipped with a softening element 3. On the frame are mounted fasteners 4 and openings for fasteners 5. At least on one of the sides of the platform a handle 6 is installed.

The device works as follows.

In the holes for fasteners 5, fasteners 4 are mounted on a pre-selected width. Legs are put on the chosen width, fastened with fasteners. The density of fixing the legs on the platform is chosen by the person himself. Next, the person relies on his hands and begins to move - forward, backward, sideways. The frame over the entire contact area is equipped with a softening element 3, which, when performing the exercise, eliminates the discomfort from contact of the human foot with the frame and prevents rubbing. The displacement of the axis of rotation of the wheel relative to the vertical axis of rotation allows the wheels to self-align easily when changing the direction of movement of the platform.

Exercise can be performed as facing the surface of the earth, and vice versa.

Attaching the leg to the platform depends on the complexity of the exercise. The leg may be attached at the level of the thigh, and then the load on the muscles of the arms will be low. When securing the legs at the level of the ankles, the load on the hands will be the highest.

Installation on the simulator handles at least on one side (Fig. 4) allows you to use the simulator for additional exercises. For example, training / stretching the back muscles. The person becomes in front of the simulator. He sets his hands on the handle and pushes the simulator away from himself or pulls him towards himself, straining his back and abdominal muscles. In this case, the athlete has to additionally keep the balance. It is possible to rotate the handle around its axis.

The simulator can be used as a sports apparatus. In this case, you can arrange all sorts of

- 1 010250 competition for speed, endurance, mastery of ownership. The simulator can be used without age restrictions.

Exercises on the claimed simulator can be performed in the form of a game, for example, the speedy passage of a distance with obstacles. In this case, the route may be located downhill or, conversely, uphill.

The simulator has developed project documentation. A test sample was made at the Institute of Physical Education of the Republic of Belarus. A group of athletes is completed to test the simulator. Scientific and methodical work is carried out to develop exercises and determine the load from the use of various exercises and options for using the simulator.
