Definitions
- the present invention relates to a belt for a treadmill according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Tapes for treadmills or exercise equipment are known from the prior art.
- DE 101 33 863 A1 shows a tape for a treadmill, which has an uneven surface, so that the foot when running does not occur monotonously, but must adapt to changing conditions.
- the uneven surface can be provided with an easily compressible layer.
- different subsoil can be simulated by filled with sand or gel material chambers. This should increase the training effect.
- WO 98/13109 A1 shows a tape for a treadmill with a cushion layer.
- the cushioning layer has protrusions which extend across the band.
- their surface is coated with an abrasion-resistant film.
- the cushioning layer has the particular effect that the training should be easier on the joints compared to conventional treadmills.
- DE 199 22 822 B4 shows a training device with a band which receives trained as cross struts lamellae.
- the tread on which the athlete appears over the plurality of cross struts is curved.
- the radius of curvature of the tread corresponds approximately to the radius of the legs during the running movement describe.
- the runner does not have to compensate for up and down movements and do not make jumps.
- both the lamellae and the band are elastically deformable, so that the joint-gentle effect is enhanced.
- WO 2009/059722 A1 shows a treadmill, which is equipped with a band which has a thick cushion layer.
- the cushioning layer absorbs the shocks which act on the joints when running, and on the other hand serves to intensify the training effect. Since the trainer's foot sinks deeply into the padding material at each step, it must be raised while running before the next step can be performed.
- a training device is shown, which has a control of the drive to optimize the training effect with the help of training and recovery micro-intervals.
- the known tapes have the disadvantage that they can not be converted to different running properties. Depending on the filling of the chambers, high expansion forces can also occur in the deflection area, which can lead to damage.
- An inventive tape for a treadmill for training the human body comprises a carrier tape and a running layer arranged on the carrier tape.
- the running layer has a plurality of chambers which are filled or filled with a filling material.
- the chambers form separate pockets which are arranged separately on the carrier tape.
- a treadmill is here and below understood to mean a training device in which the athlete performs running movements on a type of "conveyor belt", with both the training device and the athlete remaining stationary. Accordingly, the "conveyor belt” is referred to as a band.
- a bag is understood to mean a device which makes it possible to pick up different materials.
- the bag can be formed as a loop, with two opposite open sides or on all sides closed or lockable.

- treadmills where the tape absorbs the entire weight of the rotor, so that special demands are placed on the stability of the carrier tape.
- the treadmill below the belt in the running area of the athlete may have a load bearing. As a result, then the band no longer has the entire weight of the runner take up. Accordingly, the construction of the carrier tape can be adjusted. Due to the design with bottom load bearing, it may be useful if the carrier tape has on its, the load-receiving side facing a sliding layer, which minimizes the frictional resistance between the tape and load bearing. Alternatively, the load bearing can be equipped with roles. Due to the design with carrier tape and running layer, both the carrier tape and the running layer can be optimized to the particular properties required.
- the pockets are arranged on the carrier tape so that they are separated from each other and have no common side wall.
- the pockets are made of a material which is easily deformable and does not significantly affect the property of the material in the pockets.

Ein erfindungsgemässes Band für ein Laufband zum Trainieren des menschlichen Körpers umfasst ein Trägerband und eine auf dem Trägerband angeordneten Laufschicht. Die Laufschicht weist mehrere Kammern auf, die mit einem Füllmaterial befüllt oder befüllbar sind. Dabei bilden die Kammern separate Taschen, welche voneinander getrennt auf dem Trägerband angeordnet sind.An inventive tape for a treadmill for training the human body comprises a carrier tape and a running layer arranged on the carrier tape. The running layer has a plurality of chambers which are filled or filled with a filling material. The chambers form separate pockets which are arranged separately on the carrier tape.
Unter einem Laufband wird hier und nachfolgend ein Trainingsgerät verstanden, bei welchem der Athlet auf einer Art "Förderband" Laufbewegungen durchführt, wobei sowohl das Trainingsgerät als auch der Athlet ortsfest bleiben. Entsprechend wird das "Förderband" als Band bezeichnet.A treadmill is here and below understood to mean a training device in which the athlete performs running movements on a type of "conveyor belt", with both the training device and the athlete remaining stationary. Accordingly, the "conveyor belt" is referred to as a band.
Hier und im Folgenden wird unter einer Tasche eine Vorrichtung verstanden, welche es ermöglicht, verschiedene Materialien aufzunehmen. Dabei kann die Tasche als Schlaufe, mit zwei gegenüberliegenden offenen Seiten oder allseits verschlossen oder verschliessbar ausgebildet sein. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist die Separierung jeder einzelnen Tasche auf dem Trägerband, womit insgesamt eine optimale Flexibilität des Bandes gewährleistet ist.Here and below, a bag is understood to mean a device which makes it possible to pick up different materials. In this case, the bag can be formed as a loop, with two opposite open sides or on all sides closed or lockable. Of particular importance is the separation of each individual pocket on the carrier tape, which overall ensures optimum flexibility of the tape.
Das Trägerband dient in erster Linie der mechanischen Stabilität des Bandes. Es sind Konstruktionen von Laufbändern denkbar, wo das Band das gesamte Gewicht des Läufers aufnimmt, so dass besondere Anforderungen an die Stabilität des Trägerbandes gestellt werden. Alternativ kann das Laufband unterhalb des Bandes im Laufbereich des Athleten eine Lastaufnahme aufweisen. Dadurch muss dann das Band nicht mehr das gesamte Gewicht des Läufers aufnehmen. Entsprechend kann die Konstruktion des Trägerbandes angepasst werden. Durch die Konstruktion mit untenliegender Lastaufnahme kann es sinnvoll sein, wenn das Trägerband auf seiner, der Lastaufnahme zugewandten Seite über eine Gleitschicht verfügt, welche den Reibwiderstand zwischen Band und Lastaufnahme minimiert. Alternativ kann auch die Lastaufnahme mit Rollen bestückt sein. Durch die Ausgestaltung mit Trägerband und Laufschicht, kann sowohl das Trägerband als auch die Laufschicht auf die jeweils benötigten Eigenschaften optimiert werden.The carrier tape primarily serves the mechanical stability of the tape. There are conceivable designs of treadmills, where the tape absorbs the entire weight of the rotor, so that special demands are placed on the stability of the carrier tape. Alternatively, the treadmill below the belt in the running area of the athlete may have a load bearing. As a result, then the band no longer has the entire weight of the runner take up. Accordingly, the construction of the carrier tape can be adjusted. Due to the design with bottom load bearing, it may be useful if the carrier tape has on its, the load-receiving side facing a sliding layer, which minimizes the frictional resistance between the tape and load bearing. Alternatively, the load bearing can be equipped with roles. Due to the design with carrier tape and running layer, both the carrier tape and the running layer can be optimized to the particular properties required.
Die Taschen sind auf dem Trägerband so angeordnet, dass sie voneinander getrennt sind und keine gemeinsame Seitenwand aufweisen. Die Taschen sind aus einem Material gebildet, welches leicht verformbar ist und die Eigenschaft des in den Taschen befindlichen Materials nur unwesentlich beeinflusst. Dabei wird die Lauffläche durch die Oberseite der Taschen gebildet. Durch geeignete Wahl des Materials der Tasche, lässt sich die Pflege, insbesondere in Hinblick auf Hygiene, vereinfachen. Vorzugsweise wird hierzu ein Material verwendet, welches einfach abwaschbar und desinfizierbar ist. Beispielsweise kann die Tasche eine Kunststofffolie umfassen. Hierzu sind Folien aus Gummi, Latex oder einem Polyvinylchlorid-Polyurethan-Gemisch (PVC/PU) denkbar. Vorzugsweise besteht die Folie aus ca. 97% PVC und ca. 3% PU. Andere Materialien sind ebenfalls denkbar. Befüllte Taschen erlauben es, die Eigenschaften der Laufschicht bewusst zu beeinflussen und beispielsweise Bänder für unterschiedliche Anforderungen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Durch eine befüllbare Ausgestaltung der Taschen, können diese vor Ort befüllt und somit die Eigenschaft der Laufschicht entsprechend den Bedürfnissen des Benutzers angepasst werden.The pockets are arranged on the carrier tape so that they are separated from each other and have no common side wall. The pockets are made of a material which is easily deformable and does not significantly affect the property of the material in the pockets. The tread is formed by the top of the pockets. By suitable choice of the material of the bag, the care, in particular with regard to hygiene, can be simplified. Preferably, a material is used for this purpose, which is easily washable and disinfectable. For example, the bag may comprise a plastic film. For this purpose, films of rubber, latex or a polyvinyl chloride-polyurethane mixture (PVC / PU) are conceivable. Preferably, the film consists of about 97% PVC and about 3% PU. Other materials are also conceivable. Filled pockets make it possible to consciously influence the properties of the running layer and, for example, to provide tapes for different requirements. By fillable design of the pockets, they can be filled on site and thus the property of the overlay to be adjusted according to the needs of the user.
Die Taschen können am Trägerband lösbar angeordnet sein. Beispielsweise können die Taschen am Trägerband durch Nähen, Schweissen und/oder Kleben fixiert sein. Durch eine lösbare Befestigungsart wird ein einfaches Austauschen von abgenutzten Taschen oder ein Auswechseln von Taschen, welche mit anderen Materialien befüllt sind, ermöglicht. Somit werden einerseits Wartungsarbeiten vereinfacht und andererseits die individuelle Anpassbarkeit der Eigenschaften der Lauffläche nochmals einfacher gestaltet. Lösbare Verbindungen können beispielsweise mit Druckknöpfen, Klettverschlüssen, etc. realisiert werden.The pockets can be detachably arranged on the carrier tape. For example, the pockets on the carrier tape by sewing, Be fixed welding and / or gluing. A removable attachment allows easy replacement of worn pockets or replacement of pockets filled with other materials. Thus, on the one hand maintenance work is simplified and on the other hand, the individual adaptability of the properties of the tread made even simpler. Detachable connections can be realized, for example, with snaps, hook-and-loop fasteners, etc.
Mindestens eine Tasche kann mit mehreren Materialien mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften befüllt sein oder befüllt werden. Somit lässt sich die Charakteristik der Laufschicht nochmals beeinflussen. Beispielsweise kann eine Tasche mit einer weichen Unterschicht und einer darauf liegenden härteren Schicht bestückt werden. Die weiche Schicht sorgt dafür, dass das Auftreten auf der Lauffläche gedämpft und somit gelenkschonend wird, während die darüber liegende härtere Schicht für Stabilität des auftretenden Fusses sorgt.At least one bag can be filled or filled with several materials with different properties. Thus, the characteristic of the running layer can be influenced again. For example, a bag can be equipped with a soft underlayer and a harder layer lying thereon. The soft layer ensures that the appearance on the tread is damped and thus gentle on joints, while the overlying harder layer provides stability of the foot occurring.
Es können auch mindestens zwei befüllte Taschen der Laufschicht unterschiedliche Eigenschaften aufweisen. Ein Laufen auf einem solchen Band wird dadurch besonders attraktiv, die Muskulatur des Athleten wird nicht monoton belastet sondern muss sich unterschiedlichen Gegebenheiten anpassen.At least two filled pockets of the overlay may also have different properties. Running on such a band is particularly attractive, the muscles of the athlete is not monotonously loaded but must adapt to different circumstances.
Die Laufschicht des Bandes kann in Laufrichtung und/oder quer zur Laufrichtung des Bandes mehrere Taschen aufweisen. Mehrere Taschen in Laufrichtung verringern den Widerstand des Bandes bei der Umlenkung über Umlenkrollen, da das Walken verringert wird. Dabei sind die Dimensionen der Taschen in Bezug zu einem Durchmesser einer in einem Laufband verwendeten Umlenkrolle entsprechend zu berücksichtigen. So hat es sich gezeigt, dass die optimale Abmessung der Taschen in Laufrichtung im Verhältnis zum Durchmesser der Umlenkrolle zwischen 0.1 und 1, vorzugsweise zwischen 0.2 und 0.8 beträgt. Die Höhe der Taschen bzw. die Dicke der Laufschicht beträgt zwischen 1cm und 10cm, insbesondere zwischen 1.5cm bis 8cm, bevorzugt zwischen 2cm bis 5cm.The running layer of the band can have a plurality of pockets in the running direction and / or transversely to the running direction of the band. Several pockets in the direction of travel reduce the resistance of the belt when deflecting over pulleys, as the walking is reduced. The dimensions of the pockets with respect to a diameter of a pulley used in a treadmill are to be considered accordingly. So it has been shown that the optimal dimension of the pockets in the direction of travel in relation to Diameter of the deflection roller between 0.1 and 1, preferably between 0.2 and 0.8. The height of the pockets or the thickness of the running layer is between 1 cm and 10 cm, in particular between 1.5 cm to 8 cm, preferably between 2 cm to 5 cm.
Eine Ausgestaltung von mehreren Taschen quer zur Laufrichtung ermöglicht beispielsweise, die Eigenschaften der Laufschicht für den rechten bzw. den linken Fuss unterschiedlich anzupassen. Dies schliesst auch die Anordnung von Taschen unterschiedlicher Höhe ein.An embodiment of several pockets transversely to the running direction makes it possible, for example, to adapt the properties of the running layer for the right or the left foot differently. This includes the arrangement of bags of different heights.
Die Taschen können auch schräg zur Laufrichtung angeordnet sein. Ausserdem können die quer zur Laufrichtung angeordneten Taschen zueinander in Laufrichtung versetzt angeordnet sein, was weitere Variationen ermöglicht.The pockets can also be arranged obliquely to the direction of travel. In addition, the arranged transversely to the direction of the pockets can be arranged offset to one another in the direction of rotation, which allows further variations.
Die Taschen können seitlich offen oder verschliessbar sein. Je nach Füllmaterial kann damit verhindert werden, dass durch die Benutzung Füllmaterial aus den Taschen austreten kann. Die Taschen können auch seitlich verschlossen, insbesondere verschweisst sein.The pockets can be open or closable on the side. Depending on the filling material can thus be prevented that leaking through the use of filling material from the pockets. The bags can also be closed on the side, in particular welded.
Das Füllmaterial kann dabei ausgewählt sein aus der Gruppe umfassend ein mit einem Fluid gefülltes Kissen, Sand, Kies, Stein, Holz, Kork und/oder Kunststoff. Ausserdem kann das Füllmaterial unterschiedliche Formen aufweisen, insbesondere Granulat, Kugeln, Ellipsoide, Zylinder, Würfel, Quader und/oder Stäbe. Weitere Materialien und Formen des Füllmaterials sind denkbar.The filling material may be selected from the group comprising a cushion filled with a fluid, sand, gravel, stone, wood, cork and / or plastic. In addition, the filler material may have different shapes, in particular granules, spheres, ellipsoids, cylinders, cubes, cuboids and / or rods. Other materials and forms of filling material are conceivable.
Das Füllmaterial umfasst ein geschäumtes Polyurethan. Dabei sind sowohl offenporige als auch geschlossenporige Varianten mit ihren unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften einsetzbar.The filling material comprises a foamed polyurethane. These are both open-pore as well as closed-pore variants with their different properties can be used.
Der geschäumte Kunststoff ist bei einer Grundfläche von 10cm x 10cm und einer flächigen Belastung mit 1'000N zwischen 40% und 95% komprimierbar. Eine erfindungsgemässe Trainingsgerätschaft zum Trainieren der beim Laufen benötigten Muskeln des menschlichen Körpers auf einer Lauffläche weist ein endlos über zwei um zueinander parallele Achsen drehbare Umlenkwalzen in einer Richtung umlaufendes Trägerband auf, dessen Obertrum auf der den Umlenkwalzen abgewandten Oberseite des Trägerbandes die Lauffläche zum Trainieren zugeordnet ist. Dabei weist zumindest eine der beiden Umlenkwalzen einen über eine Steuerung gesteuerten Antrieb auf. Der dem Untertrum zugewandte Unterseite des Obertrums des Trägerbandes ist eine bezüglich der Trainingsgerätschaft unbewegliche Lastaufnahme zugeordnet. Ausserdem weist das Trägerband auf seiner den Umlenkwalzen abgewandten Oberseite eine nachgiebige Schicht aus Kunststoff auf, die mit einer Haut und die mit sich von der freien Aussenseite der Schicht in Richtung zu dessen Oberseite erstreckenden Tälern unter Belassung von Stegen versehen ist. Die Haut ist im Bereich der Täler bis zu der Oberseite des Trägerbandes geführt und dort unter Bildung von Taschen festgelegt. Der Kunststoff besteht aus einzelnen Stäben und jede Tasche ist mit zumindest einem der Stäbe gefüllt. Jeder Stab weist vorzugsweise eine senkrecht zu der Oberseite des Trägerbandes gemessene grössere Höhe der Täler als der die Breite festlegende Abstand zweier zueinander benachbarter Täler auf.The foamed plastic is compressible with a base area of 10cm x 10cm and a surface load of 1'000N between 40% and 95%. A training device according to the invention for training the muscles of the human body required for running on a running surface has a carrier belt which revolves endlessly over two axes parallel to each other in one direction, the upper strand of which is assigned to the running surface for training on the upper side of the carrier belt facing away from the deflection rollers , In this case, at least one of the two guide rollers on a controlled via a controller drive. The lower strand facing the underside of the upper strand of the carrier tape is associated with respect to the training equipment immovable load bearing. In addition, the carrier tape on its side facing away from the guide rollers on a resilient layer of plastic, which is provided with a skin and extending from the free outer side of the layer in the direction of the upper side extending valleys leaving the webs. The skin is guided in the area of the valleys up to the top of the carrier tape and fixed there to form pockets. The plastic consists of individual bars and each bag is filled with at least one of the bars. Each bar preferably has a perpendicular to the top of the carrier tape measured greater height of the valleys than the width defining distance between two adjacent valleys.
Durch die Ausbildung der Haut mit der bezüglich der Oberseite des Trägerbandes ortsfesten und stabilen, seitlich offenen Taschen kann in diese ein demgegenüber elastisch nachgiebiger, weicher und zudem wegen der grösseren Höhe als Breite der Taschen ein dicker Kunststoff, z.B. eingespritzt oder in Form von Stangen eingesetzt werden, der keine grosse Eigenstabilität und damit verbundene geringere Elastizität aufweisen muss, aber zugleich ein tiefes Einfedern zulässt. Die Taschen können dabei seitlich offen oder geschlossen ausgebildet sein.By the formation of the skin with respect to the top of the carrier tape stationary and stable, laterally open pockets can this in contrast a more resilient, softer and also because of the greater height than the width of the bags a thick plastic, eg injected or used in the form of rods, which must have no great inherent stability and associated lower elasticity, but at the same time allows a deep compression. The pockets can be formed laterally open or closed.
Erfindungsgemässe wird also das Gewicht des menschlichen Körpers des Trainierenden von der Lastaufnahme aufgenommen und in die Trainingsgerätschaft abgeleitet. Dadurch ist es wiederum möglich, mit dem endlos umlaufenden Trägerband mit dem dicken, elastisch nachgiebigen, weichen Kunststoff, eine natürliche Oberfläche zu simulieren, in die man schnell und tief einsinkt, so dass es bei Beginn des nächsten Schrittes notwendig ist, den Fuss zunächst um das eingesunkene Mass anzuheben, um überhaupt wieder auf der Niveau der freien Aussenseite zu sein. Danach muss der Fuss zur Beendigung des nächsten Schrittes weiter angehoben und nach vorne gesetzt werden. Dabei ist durch die Steuerung des Antriebes eine Einstellung auf die jeweilige Kondition des Trainierenden und/oder des Trainingsziels möglich.According to the invention, therefore, the weight of the human body of the exerciser is absorbed by the load suspension and derived in the training equipment. Thus, it is again possible to simulate a natural surface with the endless circulating carrier tape with the thick, resilient, soft plastic, in which you sink quickly and deeply, so that it is necessary at the beginning of the next step, the foot first order to raise the sunken mass to be at the level of the free outside again. Thereafter, the foot must be raised further to the end of the next step and put forward. It is possible by the control of the drive to adjust to the respective condition of the exerciser and / or the training goal.
Mit der erfindungsgemässen Trainingsgerätschaft wird nicht nur das Einsinken in Sand oder dergleichen natürliche Oberfläche simuliert, sondern auch auf derselben Strecke in der Richtung des Trägerbandes ein höherer Kraftaufwand erfordert und/oder durch das tiefe Einsinken andere Muskelpartien trainiert und damit ein besseres Trainingsergebnis erzielt.With the inventive training equipment not only the sinking in sand or the like natural surface is simulated, but also on the same distance in the direction of the carrier tape requires a higher effort and / or trained by the deep sinking other muscle and thus achieve a better training result.
Dabei kann bei der erfindungsgemässen Trainingsgerätschaft jeder Stab von der Haut vollständig und/oder unter Belassung von seitlich offenen Taschen umhüllt und die Haut im Anlagebereich an der Oberseite des Trägerbandes unter Bildung der Taschen festgelegt, z.B. angeklebt und/oder angeschweisst sein.In the case of the training device according to the invention, each rod can be enveloped by the skin completely and / or leaving pockets open at the sides, and the skin in the contact region can be fixed to the upper side of the carrier band to form the pockets, eg glued and / or welded on.
Es hat sich als bevorzugt erwiesen, wenn die Dicke und/oder die Nachgiebigkeit der Schicht der Trainingsgerätschaft so bemessen ist, dass sie bei Belastung durch den menschlichen Körper um 40% bis 95%, vorzugsweise 50% bis 90% cm und ganz besonders bevorzugt um 60% bis 80% in ihrer Dicke zusammenpressbar ist.It has proven to be preferred if the thickness and / or compliance of the training equipment's layer is such as to be 40% to 95%, preferably 50% to 90%, cm, and most preferably about 40% when loaded by the human body 60% to 80% in their thickness is compressible.
Um zumindest die Aussenseite der Schicht gegen Beschädigungen und oder Schweiss zu schützen, ist der freien Aussenseite des Kunststoffs die als eigentliche Lauffläche dienende, vorzugsweise zähelastische Haut zugeordnet. Hierbei kann diese Haut entweder mit der freien Aussenseite des Kunststoffs zumindest teilweise stoffschlüssig verbunden, z.B. geklebt sein.In order to protect at least the outside of the layer against damage and or sweat, the free outside of the plastic is assigned to serving as the actual tread, preferably viscoelastic skin. In this case, this skin can either be at least partially cohesively connected to the free outer side of the plastic, e.g. be glued.
Um als Trainingseffekt auch Steigungen zu simulieren, kann mit Vorteil zumindest eine der Achsen der zwei Umlenkwalzen senkrecht zu ihrer Erstreckung anheb- oder absenkbar, z.B. mittels einer elektrisch betriebenen Gewindestange od. dgl. ausgebildet sein.In order to also simulate slopes as a training effect, advantageously at least one of the axes of the two guide rollers can be raised or lowered perpendicular to their extent, e.g. od by means of an electrically operated threaded rod. Like. Be formed.
Weiterhin ist es mit der erfindungsgemässen Steuerung der Trainingsgerätschaft mit Vorteil möglich, den Antrieb in individuell einstellbaren, sich abwechselnden, verschieden langen Trainingssowie sich daran anschliessenden Erholungs-Mikrointervallen schnell bzw. demgegenüber langsamer gesteuert anzutreiben, wobei die Trainings-Mikrointervalle zwischen 8 und 40s, vorzugsweise zwischen 9 bis 35 s und ganz besonders bevorzugt zwischen 10 bis 30 s und die Erholungs-Mikrointervalle zwischen 13 und 90s, vorzugsweise zwischen 14 bis 75 s und ganz besonders bevorzugt zwischen 15 bis 60 s liegen können.Furthermore, it is advantageously possible with the control of the training device according to the invention to drive the drive in individually adjustable, alternating, different lengths of training as well as subsequent recovery microintervals in a slower, respectively controlled manner, the training microintervals being between 8 and 40s, preferably between 9 to 35 seconds and most preferably between 10 to 30 seconds and the recovery microintervals may be between 13 and 90 seconds, preferably between 14 and 75 seconds and most preferably between 15 and 60 seconds.
Auch kann, wenn die dicke, elastisch nachgiebige, weiche Schicht, ein mit Luft gefülltes Volumen ist, auch noch deren Druck von dem Antrieb ggf. sich ändernd gesteuert eingestellt werden, so dass auch die Oberfläche, z.B. harter nasser Sandboden wie am Strand oder weicher Tannennadelboden im Wald künstlich nachgebildet werden.Also, if the thick, resilient, soft layer is an air-filled volume, it may also be If necessary, the pressure of the drive can be adjusted in a controlled manner, so that the surface, for example, hard wet sandy soil, as on the beach or soft pine needle soil in the forest, can be simulated artificially.
Somit ist es mit der erfindungsgemässen Steuerung der Trainingsgerätschaft möglich, praktisch jedes Trainingsgelände mit Auf- und Abstiegen, Trainings- und Erholungsstrecken sowie ggf. mit harten und weichen Böden abzubilden.Thus, it is possible with the inventive control of the training equipment, virtually every training terrain with ups and downs, training and recovery distances and possibly with hard and soft soils map.
Bei der erfindungsgemässen Trainingsgerätschaft kann jeder Stab von der Haut vollständig oder unter Belassung von seitlich offenen Taschen umhüllt sein und die Haut im Anlagebereich an der Oberseite des Trägerbandes unter Bildung der Taschen festgelegt sein.In the case of the training device according to the invention, each rod can be enveloped by the skin completely or leaving aside pockets open at the side, and the skin in the contact region can be fixed on the upper side of the carrier band to form the pockets.
