Dabei können sowohl die Auflageflä¬ che als auch die Standfläche eine konkave oder konvexe Wölbung aufweisen. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass die Standfläche aus mehreren Flächen mit unterschiedlichen Winkeln besteht. Ausserdem kann die Keilform an ihrer spitzen Seite stumpf, d. h. abgeschnitten sein. Die Standfläche und die Auflagefläche schneiden sich somit nicht direkt, sondern sind in jeder Position voneinander beabstandet. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass der Abstand zwischen Auflagefläche und Standfläche an der dünnsten und/oder der dicksten Stelle der Keilform konstant weitergeführt wird, so dass die Keilform einen Fortsatz aufweist. Ausserdem wird auch eine Form als Keilform verstanden, bei welcher die Standfläche in etwa einem Flügelprofil entspricht. Here and below, an angle of 90 ° +/- 20 °, in particular of 90 ° +/- 10 ° is understood as being approximately perpendicular. Under approximately wedge-shaped is in particular a known per se Keil ¬ form understood with a constant angle between the support surface and the base. In this case, both the Auflageflä ¬ che and the footprint a concave or convex curvature exhibit. It is also conceivable that the stand surface consists of several surfaces with different angles. In addition, the wedge shape may be dull on its pointed side, ie cut off. The base and the support surface thus do not intersect directly, but are spaced apart in each position. It is also conceivable that the distance between the support surface and the standing surface at the thinnest and / or the thickest point of the wedge shape is continued constant, so that the wedge shape has an extension. In addition, a shape is understood as a wedge shape in which the footprint corresponds approximately to a wing profile.
Unter einem Steigungswinkel wird der Winkel zwischen der Aufla¬ gefläche und der Standfläche verstanden. Sollte es sich bei der Auflagefläche und/oder der Standfläche nicht um eine effektive oder ebene Fläche handeln, so wird unter dem Steigungswinkel derjenige Winkel verstanden, welcher sich zwischen Tangenten bildet, welche in der Mitte der beiden Flächen an diesen angelegt werden. At a helix angle of the angle between the Aufla ¬ gefläche and the standing surface is understood. Should the support surface and / or the support surface not be an effective or planar surface, then the angle of inclination is understood to mean that angle which forms between tangents which are applied to them in the middle of the two surfaces.
Dadurch, dass die Trainingsmatte aus einem einstückig geschäumten Kunststoffmaterial besteht, ist eine besonders günstige Fer¬ tigung möglich. Dabei kann der Kunststoff direkt in eine ent¬ sprechende Form geschäumt werden oder aber aus einem beispiels¬ weise quaderförmigen Block ausgeschnitten werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass Polyurethan vorteilhafte Eigenschaften wie hohe Reissfestigkeit besitzt und dauerelastisch ist. Ausserdem zeigt geschäumtes Polyurethan eine hohe Rückfederung, kann stark komprimiert werden und ist äusserst langlebig. Ähnliche Eigenschaf¬ ten können jedoch auch mit anderen geschäumten Kunststoffen erreicht werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass eine Trainingsmatte mit einer in etwa keilförmig ausgestalteten Querschnittsfläche besonders vorteil¬ haft ist, wenn die Trainingsmatte zum Stehen oder Treten an Ort eingesetzt wird, insbesondere für ein Ausdauertraining für den Bewegungsapparat, für den kosmetischen Aufbau und die Modellie¬ rung der Muskelmasse, für die Steigerung einer nicht therapeuti¬ schen Leistungsfähigkeit der Muskulatur, für die Steigerung der Fitness, für die Entspannung der Muskulatur, für die Steigerung des Wohlbefindens, für die kosmetische Formung der Körperhaltung und/oder für die kosmetische Formung des menschlichen Körpers, insbesondere von Brust, Bauch, Beinen, Gesäss. Dabei kann je nach angestrebtem Ziel die keilförmige Trainingsmatte von der Ferse zu den Zehen, von den Zehen zu den Fersen, von links nach rechts oder von rechts nach links ansteigend ausgerichtet sein. Ebenfalls kann eine Anordnung aus zwei oder mehreren Trainings¬ matten mit unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen der einzelnen Trainingsmatten kombiniert werden. Characterized in that the training mat consists of an integrally foamed plastic material, a particularly favorable Fer ¬ actuation is possible. In this case, the plastic can be foamed directly into an ent ¬ speaking form or cut out of an example ¬ block-shaped block. It has been shown that polyurethane has advantageous properties such as high tensile strength and is permanently elastic. In addition, foamed polyurethane shows a high resilience, can be highly compressed and is extremely durable. However, similar own sheep ¬ th can be achieved with other foamed plastics. It has been found that a training mat is particularly advantageous ¬ way with a configured in approximately wedge-shaped cross-sectional area when the training mat is used for standing or stepping on the spot, in particular for an endurance training for the musculoskeletal system, for cosmetic design and Modellie ¬ tion muscle mass, for increasing a non therapeuti ¬ rule muscle performance, for increasing fitness, for relaxation of the muscles, for increasing well-being, for the cosmetic formation of the posture and / or for cosmetic shaping of the human body especially of the chest, abdomen, legs, buttocks. Depending on the desired goal, the wedge-shaped exercise mat can be oriented from the heel to the toes, from the toes to the heels, from left to right or from right to left. Also an arrangement of two or more training ¬ matte can be combined with different orientations of the individual training mats.
Die Trainingsmatte kann einen Steigungswinkel zwischen 4° und 25°, insbesondere zwischen 6° und 20°, bevorzugt zwischen 8° und 16° aufweisen. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass grössere Steigungswin¬ kel nicht mehr als angenehm empfunden werden und entsprechend einen Anwender davon abhalten, die Trainingsmatte über längere Zeit zu benutzen. Ebenfalls ist die oben genannte Wirkung bei kleineren Winkeln nicht oder nur in einem geringeren Masse vorhanden . The exercise mat can have a pitch angle between 4 ° and 25 °, in particular between 6 ° and 20 °, preferably between 8 ° and 16 °. It has been shown that larger angles of inclination are no longer perceived as pleasant and accordingly prevent a user from using the exercise mat over a longer period of time. Also, the above effect is not available at smaller angles or only to a lesser extent.
Die Trainingsmatte kann eine Dachform mit einem First aufweisen. Die Trainingsmatte ist somit zweiseitig keilförmig ausgebildet. Dabei können die Steigungswinkel beidseitig identisch oder aber unterschiedlich ausgestaltet sein. Die Trainingsmatte kann einen Steigungswinkel zwischen 12° und 60°, insbesondere zwischen 15° und 40°, bevorzugt zwischen 20° und 30° aufweisen. Durch eine solche Form wird beispielsweise ein wippendes Stehen auf dem First einer Trainingsmatte mit Dachform oder zweier zusammengeschobenen Trainingsmatten ermöglicht . The exercise mat may have a roof shape with a ridge. The exercise mat is thus formed on two sides wedge-shaped. In this case, the pitch angle can be identical or different in design on both sides. The exercise mat may have a pitch angle between 12 ° and 60 °, in particular between 15 ° and 40 °, preferably between 20 ° and 30 °. By such a shape, for example, a rocking standing on the ridge of a training mat with roof shape or two pushed together exercise mats allows.
Das Kunststoffmaterial kann eine Rohdichte gemessen nach DIN EN ISO 845 zwischen 99 kg/m3 und 121 kg/m3, insbesondere zwischen 104 kg/m3 und 116 kg/m3, bevorzugt zwischen 108 kg/m3 und 112 kg/m3 aufweisen. Der Luftanteil im geschäumten Kunststoffmaterial ist somit entsprechend gross und das Kunststoffmaterial wird da¬ durch sehr flexibel und weich. The plastic material can be a bulk density measured according to DIN EN ISO 845 between 99 kg / m 3 and 121 kg / m 3 , in particular between 104 kg / m 3 and 116 kg / m 3 , preferably between 108 kg / m 3 and 112 kg / m 3 have. The proportion of air in the foamed plastic material is thus correspondingly large and the plastic material is because ¬ very flexible and soft.
Das Kunststoffmaterial kann eine Stauchhärte bzw. eine Druck¬ spannung bei 40% Kompression gemessen nach DIN EN ISO 3386-1 zwischen 15 kPa und 23 kPa, insbesondere zwischen 16.5 kPa und 21.5 kPa, bevorzugt zwischen 18 kPa und 20 kPa aufweisen. Härte¬ re Kunststoffmaterialien werden auf Dauer als unangenehm empfunden und verfehlen den gewünschten Trainingseffekt. Ein weicherer Aufbau eignet sich nicht mehr, um darauf zu stehen, da eine sol¬ che Trainingsmatte leicht durchgedrückt wird. The plastic material can have a compressive strength and a pressure ¬ stress at 40% compression measured according to DIN EN ISO 3386-1 of between 15 kPa and 23 kPa, in particular between 16.5 kPa and 21.5 kPa, preferably between 18 kPa and 20 kPa. Harder plastic materials are perceived as unpleasant in the long run and miss the desired training effect. A softer structure is no longer suitable to stand on it, since a sol ¬ che exercise mat is easily pushed.
Das Kunststoffmaterial kann eine Luftdurchlässigkeit gemessen nach DIN EN ISO 9237 mit einem Prüfdruck von 200 Pa von grösser als 10 l/m2s, insbesondere grösser als 25 l/m2s, bevorzugt grös¬ ser als 40 l/m2s aufweisen. Eine solche Luftdurchlässigkeit be¬ wirkt, dass die Luft beim Zusammendrücken des Kunststoffmateri- als aus dem Schaumstoff entweichen kann und lediglich das Kunst¬ stoffmaterial als solches für die Kompression bzw. die Stauch¬ härte verantwortlich ist. Das Kunststoffmaterial kann eine Rückprallelastizität von >35%, bevorzugt >45%, besonders bevorzugt >50% aufweisen. Dabei wird die Rückprallelastizität wie folgt bestimmt: Eine Kugel mit Durchmesser 40 mm und einem Gewicht von 262 g wird aus einer Höhe von 1 m auf eine Kunststoffprobe mit einer Dicke von 60 mm fallengelassen. Die Kunststoffprobe weist dabei mindestens eine Grundfläche von 100 mm x 100 mm auf und ist so auf einer festen Unterlage angeordnet, dass die Kugel in etwa im Zentrum der Grundfläche auftrifft. Die Rückprallelastizität ist dabei das Verhältnis der Rückprallhöhe zur Fallhöhe der Kugel, ausgedrückt in Prozent. Dabei werden sowohl die Fallhöhe als auch die Rück¬ prallhöhe als Abstand zwischen der Unterseite der Kugel und der Oberfläche der Kunststoffprobe gemessen. Es ist zu beachten, dass bei Kunststoffproben mit kleinerer Dicke oder mit geringerer Stauchhärte eine Kugel mit geringerem Gewicht verwendet wer¬ den muss, da ansonsten die Kugel die Kunststoffprobe „durch¬ schlägt". Die Messwerte, welche mit einer leichteren Kugel er¬ halten werden, sind nur bedingt vergleichbar mit den Messwerten der genannten Kugel mit Durchmesser 40 mm und Gewicht 262 g. Eine hohe Rückprallelastizität ergibt ein angenehm weiches Gehge¬ fühl beim Anheben des Fusses, der Fuss wird trampolinartig in die Höhe gehoben. Unabhängig von der Trittfrequenz wirkt selbst bei hochdynamischen Übungen immer eine Gegenkraft der Trainingsmatte auf den Fuss. The plastics material can have an air permeability measured according to DIN EN ISO 9237 with a test pressure of 200 Pa of greater than 10 l / m 2 s, in particular greater than 25 l / m 2 s, preferably GroES ¬ ser than 40 l / m 2 exhibit s. Such an air permeability be ¬ acts that the air when squeezing the Kunststoffmateri- than escape from the foam and only the plastic material ¬ material as such for the compression or the compression ¬ hardness is responsible. The plastic material may have a rebound resilience of> 35%, preferably> 45%, particularly preferably> 50%. In this case, the rebound resilience is determined as follows: A sphere with a diameter of 40 mm and a weight of 262 g is dropped from a height of 1 m onto a plastic sample with a thickness of 60 mm. The plastic sample has at least a base area of 100 mm x 100 mm and is arranged on a solid base, that the ball impinges approximately in the center of the base. The rebound resilience is the ratio of the rebound height to the height of fall of the ball, expressed as a percentage. In this case, both the height of fall and the rebound height ¬ are measured as the distance between the bottom of the ball and the surface of the plastic sample. It should be noted that when plastic samples with a smaller thickness or a lower compressive strength a ball with less weight used ¬ the must, otherwise the ball, the plastic sample "by ¬ suggests." The readings, which are with a lighter ball he keep ¬ are not directly comparable with the measurement values of said ball with a diameter of 40 mm and weight 262 g. a high resilience results in a soft Gehge ¬ sensing when lifting the foot, the foot is trampoline-like lifted up. Regardless of the cadence itself acts with highly dynamic exercises always a counterforce of the exercise mat on the foot.
Das Kunststoffmaterial kann eine Zugfestigkeit gemessen nach DIN EN ISO 1798 von mindestens 210 kPa, insbesondere von mindestens 250 kPa, bevorzugt von mindestens 290 kPa aufweisen. The plastic material may have a tensile strength measured according to DIN EN ISO 1798 of at least 210 kPa, in particular of at least 250 kPa, preferably of at least 290 kPa.
Das Kunststoffmaterial kann eine Bruchdehnung gemessen nach DIN EN ISO 1798 von mindestens 126 %, insbesondere von mindestens 150 %, bevorzugt von mindestens 175 % aufweisen. Eine hohe Zug- festigkeit und Bruchdehnung garantieren eine robuste Trainings¬ matte und ein langlebiges Verhalten. The plastic material may have an elongation at break measured according to DIN EN ISO 1798 of at least 126%, in particular of at least 150%, preferably of at least 175%. A high train strength and elongation guarantee a robust training ¬ mat and a long-life behavior.
Die Trainingsmatte kann an ihrer dünnsten Stelle eine Dicke von mindestens 15 mm aufweisen. Dabei wird unter der dünnsten Stelle diejenige Stelle verstanden, an der sich die Auflagefläche und die Standfläche am nächsten kommen. Dadurch, dass immer mindestens eine Dicke von 15 mm gewährleistet ist, kann sichergestellt werden, dass unabhängig von der Standposition eines Anwenders immer mindestens so viel geschäumtes Schaumstoffmaterial unter dem Fuss des Anwenders vorhanden ist, dass die Trainingsmatte auf jeden Fall ihre federnde Eigenschaft aufweist. Es wird ins¬ besondere verhindert, dass ein Fuss oder ein Teil eines Fusses die Trainingsmatte bis auf die unter der Trainingsmatte angeord¬ nete Unterlage durchtritt. Ausserdem wird verhindert, dass eine scharf auslaufende Kante gebildet wird, welche anfällig für Be¬ schädigung ist. The exercise mat may have a thickness of at least 15 mm at its thinnest point. In this case, the thinnest point is understood to be the point at which the contact surface and the base surface come closest to each other. The fact that always at least a thickness of 15 mm is guaranteed, it can be ensured that regardless of the standing position of a user is always at least as much foamed foam material under the user's foot is present that the exercise mat in any case has its resilient property. It is prevented from ¬ special that a foot or part of a foot up on the under the exercise mat angeord ¬ designated pad passes through the exercise mat. In addition, it is prevented that a sharp leaking edge is formed, which is prone to Be ¬ damage.
Die Trainingsmatte kann an ihrer dicksten Stelle eine Dicke von maximal 120 mm aufweisen. Dabei wird unter der dicksten Stelle diejenige Stelle verstanden, an der die Auflagefläche und die Standfläche am weitesten voneinander beabstandet sind. Dabei wird die Dicke senkrecht zur Auflagefläche gemessen. Durch die maximale Dicke von 120 mm ist die Unfallgefahr durch ein unbeab¬ sichtigtes Heruntertreten von der Trainingsmatte oder durch ein Verknicken des Fusses durch nur partielles Auftreten auf der Trainingsmatte minimiert. The exercise mat can have a maximum thickness of 120 mm at its thickest point. Here, the thickest point is understood to be the point at which the support surface and the support surface are spaced furthest apart. The thickness is measured perpendicular to the support surface. By the maximum thickness of 120 mm the risk of accidents is minimized by unin ¬ tentional stepping down from the training mat, or by a buckling of the foot by only partial occurrence on the training mat.
Die Trainingsmatte kann dachförmig ausgestaltet sein und im mittleren Bereich einen First aufweisen. Im Bereich des Firstes kann die Trainingsmatte dicker als 120 mm ausgestaltet sein, da sich beidseitig eine geneigte Seitenfläche anschliesst. Somit ist für eine dachförmig ausgestaltete Trainingsmatte eine maxi¬ male Dicke von bis zu 300 mm denkbar. The exercise mat can be configured roof-shaped and have a ridge in the middle region. In the area of the ridge, the exercise mat can be made thicker than 120 mm, as there is an inclined side surface on both sides. Consequently is for a roof-shaped exercise mat a maxi ¬ male thickness of up to 300 mm conceivable.
Die Grundfläche der Trainingsmatte kann eine beliebige Form, insbesondere eine quadratische oder eine rechteckige Form auf¬ weisen. Auch runde Formen sind denkbar. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die minimale Fläche der Trainingsmatte bei einer quadrati¬ schen Form 400 mm x 400 mm beträgt. Bevorzugt weist die quadra¬ tische Grundfläche jedoch ein Mass von 500 mm x 500 mm auf. Ins¬ besondere bei rechteckigen Ausführungen werden 500 mm x 1000 mm bevorzugt. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, dass andere Masse zum Einsatz kommen. So ist beispielsweise eine Kombination von zwei Trainingsmatten mit je 250 mm x 500 mm denkbar, bei welcher die beiden dünnen Seiten oder die beiden dicken Seiten zueinander gerichtet sind. Bei Trainingsmatten mit rechteckiger Grundfläche ist vorzugsweise die dünne Seite bzw. die dicke Seite an einer Längsseite angeordnet, so dass sich die Keilform über die Breit¬ seite erstreckt. The base of the exercise mat can have any shape, in particular a square or a rectangular shape on ¬ . Even round shapes are conceivable. It has been shown that the minimum area of the training mat is x 400 mm at a quadrati ¬ rule mold 400 mm. However, the quadra ¬ tables base preferably has a dimension of 500 mm x 500 mm. Ins ¬ particular in rectangular designs 500 mm x 1000 mm are preferred. However, it is also conceivable that other masses are used. Thus, for example, a combination of two exercise mats, each with 250 mm x 500 mm is conceivable, in which the two thin sides or the two thick sides are directed towards each other. In training mats with a rectangular base surface, the thin side or the thick side is preferably arranged on a longitudinal side, so that the wedge shape extends over the wide ¬ side.
Die Standfläche der Trainingsmatte kann mit graphischen Elemen¬ ten versehen sein, welche jedoch die genannten Eigenschaften des Kunststoffmaterials nicht oder nur in geringem Masse beeinflus¬ sen. So kann beispielsweise eine optimale Fussstellung auf der Standfläche aufgedruckt sein. Alternativ kann auch ein gesamtes Trainingsprogramm bildhaft auf der Standfläche dargestellt sein. The footprint of the exercise mat can be provided with graphic elemen ¬ th, which have little or no beeinflus ¬ sen said properties of the plastic material only to a small extent. For example, an optimal foot position can be printed on the stand surface. Alternatively, an entire training program can be displayed pictorially on the stand area.
Die Oberfläche der Trainingsmatte kann mit einer speziellen Struktur versehen sein, welche zusätzlich zur Bewegungsstimulation durch das weiche Kunststoffmaterial auch eine aktive Stimu¬ lierung der Durchblutung der Fusssohle bewirkt. Eine solche 0- berfläche kann beispielsweise durch eine zusätzlich auf dem ge¬ schäumten Kunststoff aufgebrachte Kornstruktur erreicht werden oder alternativ mittels eines entsprechend ausgestalteten Über- zuges über der Trainingsmatte aufgebracht werden. Ein solcher Überzug weist vorzugsweise eine Elastizität und Dehnfähigkeit auf, so dass die vorgängig genannten Eigenschaften des Kunststoffmaterials nicht oder nur in geringem Masse beeinflusst wer¬ den. Auch ein solcher Überzug kann mit den genannten graphischen Elementen ausgestattet sein. The surface of the training mat can be provided with a special structure which, in addition to the movement stimulation through the soft plastic material, an active Stimu ¬-regulation of the blood circulation in the sole of the foot causes. Such 0- berfläche can be achieved for example by an additionally applied on the ge ¬ foamed plastic grain structure or alternatively by means of a correspondingly designed over- zuges be applied over the exercise mat. Such a coating preferably has an elasticity and elongation, so that the previously mentioned features of the plastic material is not affected or only slightly ¬ the. Such a coating may also be equipped with the mentioned graphic elements.
Alternativ oder ergänzend zu einem Überzug kann auch eine Alternatively or in addition to a coating may also be a
Schutzschicht direkt auf das Kunststoffmaterial aufgebracht wer¬ den. Dabei weist diese Schutzschicht eine maximale Dicke von 2 mm, bevorzugt 1 mm, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 0.2 bis 0.5 mm auf. Dabei kann das Material der Schutzschicht auf einer i- dentischen Basis wie das Kunststoffmaterial der Trainingsmatte bestehen oder es kann ein komplett anderes Material verwendet werden. Beispielsweise eignet sich hierzu PVC, Gummi oder ein Textilgewebe. Eine solche Schutzschicht kann direkt auf das Kunststoffmaterial der Trainingsmatte aufgebracht oder nachträg¬ lich mit der Trainingsmatte, beispielsweise durch Kleben oder Schweissen, verbunden werden. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass auch eine solche Schutzschicht so ausgestaltet ist, dass die vorgängig genannten Eigenschaften des Kunststoffmaterials nicht oder nur in geringem Masse beeinflusst werden. Protective layer applied directly to the plastic material ¬ who. In this case, this protective layer has a maximum thickness of 2 mm, preferably 1 mm, more preferably between 0.2 to 0.5 mm. In this case, the material of the protective layer can exist on an identical basis as the plastic material of the exercise mat, or a completely different material can be used. For example, this is PVC, rubber or a textile fabric. Such a protective layer may be applied directly to the plastic material of the training mat or nachträg ¬ Lich connected to the training mat, for example by gluing or welding. It goes without saying that such a protective layer is designed so that the aforementioned properties of the plastic material are not or only slightly influenced.
Eine erfindungsgemässe Verwendung einer keilförmigen Trainings¬ matte, insbesondere einer Trainingsmatte wie vorgängig beschrie¬ ben, zum Stehen oder Treten an Ort umfasst wahlweise einen oder mehrere der folgenden Zwecke: An inventive use of a wedge-shaped training ¬ mat, in particular a training mat as previously beschrie ¬ ben, to a stop or contact in place optionally comprises one or more of the following purposes:
Ausdauertraining für den Bewegungsapparat, kosmetischer Aufbau und Modellierung der Muskelmasse, Steigerung einer nicht therapeutischen Leistungsfähigkeit der Muskulatur, Endurance training for the musculoskeletal system, cosmetic composition and modeling of muscle mass, Increasing non-therapeutic muscle performance
Steigerung der Fitness, Increase in fitness,
Entspannung der Muskulatur, Relaxation of the muscles,
Steigerung des Wohlbefindens, kosmetische Formung der Körperhaltung, kosmetische Formung des menschlichen Körpers, insbesondere von Brust, Bauch, Beinen, Gesäss. Improvement of well-being, cosmetic shaping of the posture, cosmetic shaping of the human body, especially of the chest, abdomen, legs, buttocks.
Es hat sich beispielsweise gezeigt, dass schon ein tägliches Stehen oder Treten an Ort von mindestens 5 min ein gutes Ausdauertraining für den gesamten Bewegungsapparat bewirkt. Ausschlag¬ gebend für diesen Trainingseffekt ist die weich-elastische Ei¬ genschaft des geschäumten Kunststoffmaterials , welche ein stati¬ sches Stehen des Fusses verhindert. Der Anwender muss mit seinem Fuss und seinem Bewegungsapparat ständig in Bewegung bleiben und die Balance suchen. Somit wird unbewusst ein Ausdauertraining absolviert. Durch das stetige und sanfte Training des Bewegungs¬ apparates können unästhetische Körperhaltungen verhindert und entsprechend die Körperhaltung kosmetisch geformt werden. Ausserdem kann ein solches Training die nicht therapeutische Leis¬ tungsfähigkeit der Muskulatur, insbesondere der Tiefenmuskulatur und die allgemeine Fitness steigern. Durch die sanfte Benutzung der Muskulatur kann eine tiefe Entspannung erreicht werden, insbesondere wenn man sich nach einem solchen Training hinlegt. Das allgemeine Wohlbefinden kann gesteigert werden. Durch eine länger andauernde Benutzung kann sogar ein gezielter Aufbau und eine Modellierung der Muskelmasse erreicht werden. It has been shown, for example, that even a daily standing or pedaling in place of at least 5 minutes causes good endurance training for the entire musculoskeletal system. The decisive factor for this ¬ training effect is the soft-elastic egg ¬ genschaft the foamed plastic material which prevents stati ¬ MOORISH standing foot. The user has to constantly keep moving with his foot and musculoskeletal system and seek balance. Thus, unconsciously an endurance training is completed. Due to the steady and gentle training of the movement ¬ apparatus unesthetic postures can be prevented and accordingly the posture be cosmetically shaped. Moreover, such training can increase the non-therapeutic Leis ¬ processing ability of the muscles, especially the deep muscles and overall fitness. Through the gentle use of the muscles a deep relaxation can be achieved, especially if you lie down after such a workout. The general well-being can be increased. By prolonged use, even a targeted structure and modeling of muscle mass can be achieved.
Die Trainingsmatte kann so ausgerichtet werden, dass die Dicke der Trainingsmatte in einem Fersenbereich grösser als die Dicke der Trainingsmatte in einem Zehenbereich eines Anwenders ist. Beispielsweise werden durch eine solche Stellung Verspannungen im Lendenwirbelbereich gelöst. Ausserdem wird die Bauchmuskulatur unbewusst beansprucht und trainiert. The exercise mat can be oriented so that the thickness of the exercise mat in a heel area is greater than the thickness of the exercise mat in a toe area of a user. For example, such a position releases tensions in the lumbar region. In addition, the abdominal muscles are unconsciously stressed and trained.
Entsprechend kann die Trainingsmatte auch so ausgerichtet wer¬ den, dass die Dicke der Trainingsmatte in einem Fersenbereich kleiner als die Dicke der Trainingsmatte in einem Zehenbereich eines Anwenders ist. Somit werden die hinteren Muskelpartien, insbesondere die Iliopsoas-Muskulatur gedehnt. Die Brustwirbel¬ säule richtet sich auf, was zu einer Öffnung des Brustkorbes und zu einer freieren Atmung führt. Correspondingly, the exercise mat can also be oriented in such a way that the thickness of the exercise mat in a heel region is smaller than the thickness of the exercise mat in a toe region of a user. Thus, the back muscles, especially the iliopsoas muscles are stretched. The thoracic vertebrae ¬ column straightens up, leading to an opening of the chest and a freer breathing.
In einer speziellen Anwendung kann die Trainingsmatte so ausgerichtet werden, dass die Dicke der Trainingsmatte in einem Be¬ reich eines ersten Fusses grösser als die Dicke der Trainings¬ matte in einem Bereich eines zweiten Fusses eines Benutzers ist. Eine solche Anordnung kann insbesondere bei wechselnder Ausrichtung Verspannungen in der Rückenmuskulatur lösen. Beispielsweise ist eine solche Ausrichtung auch bei unterschiedlichen Beinlängen ideal, da der Längenunterschied kompensiert werden kann. In a particular application, the training mat can be aligned so that the thickness of the training mat is greater than the thickness of the training ¬ matte in a region of a second foot of a user in a rich Be ¬ a first foot. Such an arrangement can release tension in the back muscles, especially when changing orientation. For example, such an alignment is ideal even with different leg lengths, since the difference in length can be compensated.
Durch die Verwendung von zwei oder mehreren nebeneinander angeordneten Trainingsmatten, wobei mindestens zwei Trainingsmatten unterschiedlich ausgerichtet sind, können nochmals andere Ü- bungs- oder Trainingsformen erreicht werden, beispielsweise ein gezieltes Training der Fussgewölbemuskulatur. Durch die Verwendung einer dachförmigen Trainingsmatte oder zweier mit der dicken Seite zusammengestellter Trainingsmatten kann der First oder der sich bildende First im Bereich des Mit- telfusses angeordnet werden, so dass ein wippendes Stehen ermög¬ licht wird. Durch das permanente Balancieren wird die Koordina¬ tionsfähigkeit verschiedener Muskelgruppen gestärkt. Ausserdem sind Kombinationen der oben genannten Trainingseffekte möglich, je nachdem, ob der Fuss eher vor oder hinter dem First auf der Trainingsmatte steht. Through the use of two or more juxtaposed exercise mats, with at least two exercise mats are aligned differently, again other exercise or training forms can be achieved, for example, a targeted training of the foot arch muscle. By using a roof-shaped training mat or two collated with the thick side of the training mats First or the forming ridge can be arranged in the region of the joint telfusses so that a teetering standing made ¬ light. By permanently balancing the coordina ¬ tion capacity of different muscle groups will be strengthened. In addition, combinations of the above training effects are possible, depending on whether the foot is more in front of or behind the ridge on the exercise mat.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Ansicht auf eine erfindungsgemässe Trainings¬ matte 1 in einer ersten Ausführungsform. Die Trainingsmatte 1 besteht aus einem geschäumten Polyurethan und weist bei bestim- mungsgemässem Gebrauch auf ihrer Unterseite eine Auflagefläche 2 auf. Die Oberseite ist als Standfläche 3 ausgebildet. Ein Anwen¬ der der Trainingsmatte steht mit seinen Füssen auf dieser Stand¬ fläche 3. Ausserdem weist die gezeigte Trainingsmatte vier Sei¬ tenflächen 4, 4', 4'', 4''' auf, welche in einem rechten Winkel von der Auflagefläche abstehen. Schraffiert ist eine Quer¬ schnittsfläche 5 dargestellt, welche in etwa eine Keilform auf¬ weist. Dabei ist die Querschnittfläche 5 an der dünnsten StelleFIG. 1 shows a view of a training mat 1 according to the invention in a first embodiment. The exercise mat 1 consists of a foamed polyurethane and, when used as intended, has a support surface 2 on its underside. The top is formed as a base 3. An appli ¬ of the exercise mat stands with his feet on this status ¬ surface 3. In addition, the exercise mat four pointed Be ¬ tenflächen 4, 4 ', 4'',4''on which project at right angles from the bearing surface , Hatched ¬ a cross-sectional area 5 is shown which has a wedge shape on ¬ approximately. The cross-sectional area 5 is at the thinnest point
6 der Trainingsmatte 1 nicht zu einem spitzen Keil geformt; die Spitze ist vielmehr abgeschnitten und endet in der Seitenfläche 4'''. Die Trainingsmatte 1 weist von ihrer dünnsten Stelle 6 zur dicksten Stelle 7 einen Steigungswinkel auf, welcher konstant 8.5° beträgt. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass auch andere Steigungswinkel möglich sind. Die Auflagefläche der Trainings¬ matte ist quadratisch mit einer Seitenlänge von 400 mm. Ausserdem variiert die Dicke der Trainingsmatte zwischen 20 mm und6 of the exercise mat 1 is not formed into a pointed wedge; the tip is rather cut off and ends in the side surface 4 '''. The exercise mat 1 has from its thinnest point 6 to the thickest point 7 to a pitch angle, which is constant 8.5 °. It goes without saying that other pitch angles are possible. The contact area of training ¬ mat is square with a side length of 400 mm. In addition, the thickness of the exercise mat varies between 20 mm and
80 mm zwischen ihrer dünnsten Stelle 6 und der dicksten Stelle80 mm between its thinnest point 6 and the thickest point
7. In den Figuren 2a und 2b ist je eine Ansicht auf eine erfin- dungsgemässe Trainingsmatte 1 in einer weiteren Ausführungsform mit konkaver beziehungsweise konvexer Standfläche 3 dargestellt. Beide Trainingsmatten 1 weisen einen Steigungswinkel auf, wel¬ cher 8.5° beträgt. Dabei wird der Steigungswinkel jeweils im mittleren Bereich zwischen der dünnsten und der dicksten Stelle der Trainingsmatte 1 an einer Tangente an der Standfläche 3 ge¬ messen. Je nach Position des Anwenders kann der effektive Stei¬ gungswinkel variiert werden. 7th FIGS. 2a and 2b each show a view of an exercise mat 1 according to the invention in a further embodiment with a concave or convex standing surface 3. Both exercise mats 1 have a pitch angle, wel ¬ cher is 8.5 °. In this case, the pitch angle is measured in each case in the middle region between the thinnest and the thickest point of the exercise mat 1 at a tangent to the base surface 3. Depending on the position of the user's effective sti ¬ supply angle can be varied.
Figur 3 zeigt eine Ansicht auf eine erfindungsgemässe Trainings¬ matte 1 in einer weiteren Ausführungsform mit einer Standfläche 3, welche ähnlich einem Flügelprofil ausgestaltet ist. Der Stei¬ gungswinkel wird, wie schon zu den Figuren 2a und 2b beschrie¬ ben, an einer Tangente im mittleren Bereich der Trainingsmatte 1 gemessen. Bei einer Standfläche 3 mit angenähertem Flügelprofil hat der Anwender durch geeignete Positionswahl besonders viele Variationsmöglichkeiten: So kann neben der reinen Steigungsvariation beispielsweise auch eine Position eingenommen werden, wo nur die Ferse des Anwenders in das Kunststoffmaterial der Trai¬ ningsmatte 1 eintaucht, während sich die Zehen frei in der Luft befinden . Figure 3 shows a view of an inventive training ¬ mat 1 in a further embodiment with a standing surface 3, which is configured similarly to a wing profile. The sti ¬ supply angle is measured as it was in the figures 2a and 2b beschrie ¬ ben, at a tangent in the central region of the training mat. 1 With a floor space 3 with approximately an airfoil, the user has appropriate position selection particularly large number of possible variations: Sun can be taken in addition to pure pitch variation example, a position where only the user's heel dips into the plastic material of the Trai ¬ beginnings mat 1, while the toes are free in the air.
In Figur 4 ist eine Ansicht auf eine erfindungsgemässe Trai¬ ningsmatte 1 in einer weiteren Ausführungsform mit einer Standfläche 2 mit Fortsätzen 8 an der dünnsten Stelle 6 und der dicksten Stelle 7 dargestellt. Dabei versteht sich von selbst, dass diese Fortsätze 8 nicht nur parallel zur Auflagefläche 2, sondern auch in einem weiteren Winkel verlaufen können. 4 shows a view of an inventive Trai ¬ beginnings mat 1 in a further embodiment with a standing surface 2 with projections 8 is shown at the thinnest point 6 and the thickest point. 7 It goes without saying that these extensions 8 can not only be parallel to the support surface 2, but also in a further angle.
Die in den Figuren 1 bis 4 gezeigten Ausführungsformen weisen allesamt einen Steigungswinkel in nur einer Richtung, d. h. parallel zu einer Seitenfläche auf. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, dass die erfindungsgemässe Trainingsmatte einen Steigungswinkel beispielsweise in diagonaler Richtung aufweist. Eine solche Trainingsmatte könnte beispielsweise an der dicksten Stelle in eine Spitze zulaufen. The embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 all have a pitch angle in only one direction, ie parallel to a side surface. However, it is also conceivable that the inventive exercise mat has a pitch angle, for example in the diagonal direction. Such an exercise mat could, for example, run into a peak at the thickest point.
In Figur 5 ist eine Ansicht auf eine erfindungsgemässe Anordnung mit zwei Trainingsmatten 1, 1' in einer ersten Ausführungsform dargestellt. Dabei sind die beiden Trainingsmatten 1, 1' so zu¬ einander ausgerichtet, dass sich die beiden Trainingsmatten an ihren dicksten Stellen 7, 7' berühren. Alternativ können die Trainingsmatten 1, 1' auch so angeordnet werden, dass sich diese an den dünnsten Stellen 6, 6' berühren. Diese Anordnung ist in der Figur 6a dargestellt. FIG. 5 shows a view of an arrangement according to the invention with two exercise mats 1, 1 'in a first embodiment. Here, the two training mat 1, 1 'so as to ¬ aligned with each other, that the two training mats at their thickest points 7, 7' touch. Alternatively, the exercise mats 1, 1 'also be arranged so that they touch at the thinnest points 6, 6'. This arrangement is shown in FIG. 6a.
Figur 6b zeigt eine Ansicht auf eine erfindungsgemässe Anordnung mit zwei Trainingsmatten 1, 1' in einer weiteren Ausführungsform, wobei sich die Trainingsmatten 1, 1' nicht an einer Seitenfläche an der dicksten oder dünnsten Stelle, berühren sondern an einer zwischen diesen Seitenflächen angeordneten Seitenfläche. Somit kann beispielsweise der eine Fuss eines Anwenders auf einer ansteigenden Standfläche 2 stehen, während der zweite Fuss auf einer abfallenden Standfläche 2 ' positioniert ist. FIG. 6b shows a view of an arrangement according to the invention with two exercise mats 1, 1 'in a further embodiment, wherein the exercise mats 1, 1' do not touch one another at a side surface at the thickest or thinnest point but at a side surface arranged between these side surfaces. Thus, for example, one foot of a user can stand on a rising footing 2, while the second foot is positioned on a sloping footing 2 '.
Es versteht sich von selbst, dass sich die Trainingsmatten 1, 1' nicht zwingend berühren müssen. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die Trainingsmatten 1, 1' in einem Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind. Dabei kann der Abstand bewusst leer gelassen sein oder a- ber mit einem geeigneten Zwischenstück gefüllt sein. It goes without saying that the exercise mats 1, 1 'do not necessarily have to touch each other. It is also conceivable that the exercise mats 1, 1 'are arranged at a distance from one another. The distance may be deliberately left empty or else filled with a suitable intermediate piece.
