Definitions
- the present invention relates to a training device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a training device of the type mentioned at the outset, the geometric configuration of which not only serves to activate the meridians over the palms of the hands, but also in combination therewith through an optimal posture and movement, especially in the shoulder / chest area Promotes the breathing capacity of the practitioner and with which a more universal applicability can be achieved.
- the training device thus has two balls with a certain diameter, which by one Rod of certain length are firmly connected or connected, the balls can be held in the hand. Due to the constant transition between balls and rod, it is possible for the user to rotate the rod in all possible directions during use and to also let the neck or transition region between balls and rod slide between the fingers. On the one hand, this activates the meridians via the palms of the hands, on the other hand, if used appropriately, the wand promotes optimal posture and movement in the shoulder or chest area, thereby ensuring an optimized breathing style.
- the training device according to the invention can be used in connection with other physical exercises, ie in principle whenever a person performs movement, energy, breathing exercises or qigong exercises.
- the diameter of the balls depends on the application in different areas.
- the optimal total length of the training device varies depending on the individual shoulder span of the user, the length of the user's forearm possibly also playing a role. What is essential is the constantly concave transition or neck area, which leads to universal use of the training device in the area of other movement and body exercises.
- the training device can consist of several parts, e.g. consist of two balls and a rod, the transition area being assigned to the balls and / or the intermediate area, so that the user can put together his training device with the optimal dimensions, depending on the application.
- the individual parts form a one-piece training device.
- the training device can be made from a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, stone or a plastic.
- Figure 1 is a front view of a rod-shaped
- Figure 2 is a side view of the training device of Figure 1 and
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of the training device according to FIG. 1.
- the training device 10 shown in the drawing consists of a rod-shaped intermediate element 11 and two spherical end pieces 12 and 13 formed.
- the one-piece training device 10 is rotationally symmetrical about its longitudinal axis 14.
- the rod-shaped intermediate element 11, which is symmetrical about a longitudinal center plane 19, is cylindrical over a substantial part of its length, in particular in its longitudinal center region 16.
- This cylindrical region 16 is adjoined on both sides by a respective conical region 17, 18 which continuously merges into a neck region or transition region 21, 22 to the respective spherical end piece 12, 13.
- the neck region 21 or 22 is formed in that the spherical shape of the end piece 12 or 13 merges continuously into an oppositely directed concave region 23 or 24, which in turn runs approximately tangentially into the conical region 17 or 18 of the intermediate element 11 .
- the term continuous transition is intended to imply that the spherical shape of the end piece 12 or 13 over a turning area 25, i.e. without jumping into the concave area 23 or 24.
- the neck region 21 or 22 is configured such that its minimum diameter is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical center region 16.
- the dimensions of the training device 10, ie the diameter of the spherical end pieces 12, 13, the diameter of the thinnest point of the neck area 21, 22, the diameter of the cylindrical center area 16 and the total length of the rod-shaped training device 10 including the radius of the concavely curved area 23, 24 depend on whether the training device 10 should be suitable for adults or children, each under Consideration of the average height or shape. 10 physical characteristics of the practitioner, such as shoulder length and forearm length, play a role for the total length of the training device, while the hand size of the practitioner is important for the smallest diameter of the neck area and the diameter of the ball end piece.
- Preferred dimension ranges for the total length of the training device 10 are approximately 200 mm to 560 mm, for the diameter of the spherical end piece 12, 13 approximately 30 mm to 75 mm and for the diameter of the thinnest point in the neck region 21, 22 approximately 17 mm to 25 mm. In this case, these individual dimensions are assigned to one another on a certain scale. For example, in the standard form the diameter of the ball end piece 12, 13 is 47 mm, the diameter of the thinnest point in the neck area 21, 22 is 21 mm, the diameter of the cylindrical area 16 is 36 mm and the total length of the training device 10 is 400 mm.
- the training device is held and rotated on the outside between the palms of the hands.
- the spherical end pieces 12, 13 can also be held from the inside with the palms of the hands, since the neck region 21, 22 can slide comfortably between adjacent fingers and the palms can grip over the "inner" spherical shape of the end pieces 12, 13. This can be done alone or in combination with other movement exercises. Due to the spherical shape and the rotational symmetry of the rod, the meridians known in traditional Chinese medicine are activated on the palms of the hands on the one hand, and on the other hand, with proper use, optimal posture and movement in the shoulder or chest area are encouraged and thus an optimized way of breathing is guaranteed.
- the training device can not only be used in the context of Asian movement systems, but is also used in a wide variety of areas due to its geometry. Different physical exercise systems can be easily mixed and combined with each other. Combined applications, such as jogging, have the effect that the muscles can be enriched with more oxygen due to the liberated breathing, so that not only the actual goal of jogging, fitness training, but also the respective physical activity in accordance with the Energy budget is brought. In certain fitness exercises, such as aerobics, the use of the training device 10 also reduces the risk of injuries due to over-rotation or over-stretching, particularly in the shoulder or neck area, as a result of which the holding of the training device 10 automatically coordinates the movement of the upper trunk.
- the training bar can be held between the palms of the hands with arms outstretched. He prevents one - Raised shoulders and a tight breathing.
- jogging it is possible to take both end balls of the train stick in one hand and to let the stick rotate while running. Here too, coordination of the arm movement achieves deeper and more relaxed breathing, thus reducing the strain on the body while jogging.
- training exercises with the help of the training staff can be carried out by athletes of certain disciplines, such as rowing, short-distance running, swimming, especially crawling, self-defense and the like. be performed.
- the training rod has 10 larger length dimensions in the range of approximately 600 mm to 1000 mm or 2000 mm, while the dimensions of the end elements remain the same.
- Bedridden patients can have a positive influence on the respiratory function and thus many other metabolic processes by simply turning the training stick between the palms of their hands.
- the use of the training stick can also be useful for simple movement exercises to train muscles or for coordination exercises. For example, In stretching exercises for the mobilization of the spinal muscles, which should mostly be done by sitting on a chair by turning the trunk laterally, simply holding the rod coordinates not only the movement, but also prevents overstretching through this coordination and thus keeps the breath open.
- the training device or the training rod 10 can preferably consist of wood, for example. However, it is also possible to produce the training device 10 from a plastic or from a metal, preferably a light metal, or a stone.
- the training device 10 is shown and described as being formed in one piece in the exemplary embodiment, it goes without saying that it can also be provided in three parts, so that the three parts, namely rod-shaped intermediate element and the two spherical end pieces, are connected to the in a manner not shown in detail can be adapted to specific needs, put together or assembled.
