Definitions

  • the invention relates to a training module for exercising a body, specifically suited for exercising the central core stability in combination with increasing the strength of the upper limbs as part of a personal training routine or as an exercise to prevent or recover from joint or movement problems.
  • such training does not lead to an increase in full range and chained proprioception abilities as the stabilizing muscles and proprioceptors in the body's movement apparatus are not stimulated by the isolated movement allowed by the machine.
  • There is also an increased risk of overuse injury because joints and muscles (or parts thereof) are overloaded repeatedly in a similar, restricted and isolated manner.
  • the effect of isolated training is limited to a limited number of target muscle groups that are isolated, thereby neglecting other important stabilising muscles, which could lead to chronic injury and poorness in functional posture and movements.
  • a barbell connected to a universal joint, thereby creating an inverted pendulum serves as a frequently seen alternative to the above-mentioned training apparatus for training of the core and shoulder muscles. Because movement of the body is only partly restricted by the pendulum, multiple muscle groups are addressed instead of isolating only a few muscles of a muscle target group. However, as the shown pendulum provides a considerable freedom of movement and does not provide any measures for the purpose of increasing safety in training, the risk of injury due to improper use or due to use by people having a physical limitation is therefore large. Moreover, the training possibilities that the pendulum provides are still limited due to limited adjustment possibilities of the apparatus and the unilateral movement patterns through which the pendulum is effective in use.
  • US 2007/0184941 A1 discloses a training module according to the features of the preamble of appended claim 1.
  • the invention hereto proposes a training module according to claim 1.
  • the advantage of the aforementioned training module lies in the fact that the at least one handle, which can move along the guide, together with the rotatable coupling provide the user of the module a large freedom of movement while at the same time the module ensures safety in training due to it being mounted to a fixed support surface.
  • the large freedom of movement of the training module allows the user to perform full range, functional movements, thereby exercising and improving coordination, (core) stability, elasticity, power and speed with a single device.
  • the at least one moveable handle specifically enables rotation of the body that causes the shoulder joint to perfectly align for a combination of anteflexion, abduction and outside rotation.
  • the training module comprises at least two elongated guides, each connected to the coupling and each provided with at least one handle, wherein the handles are moveably connected to the respective guides and wherein the handles are moveable in at least a lengthwise direction of the guides.
  • the handles are independently moveable with respect to each other in at least a lengthwise direction of the guides.
  • the independent movement of the handles provides the user with additional freedom of movement, which allows the user to tap into his technique and coordination skills for a highly functional training. Moreover, due to the additional freedom of movement, more exercise varieties can be performed on the same training module.
  • the coupling of the training module comprises a hinge, wherein the hinge is configured to allow the at least one guide to rotate with respect to the support surface around three rotational axes.
  • the three-dimensional joint for example formed by a homokinetic or a universal joint, allows for a maximum freedom of movement of the training module.
  • the training module is therefore able to follow all possible movement patterns and exercise variations necessary to improve core stability in combination with strength of the shoulder, elbow and hand joints while functionally loading the torso, pelvis and both legs in a closed kinetic chain, as the feet remain in constant contact with the floor.
  • the at least one handle is provided with bearings configured for movement relative to the at least one guide in an axial and radial direction of the guide.
  • the bearings comprise a linear bearing provided on an inside of the handle and more preferably integrated into the handle.
  • the bearings allow for a rotational and a linear movement of the handle relative to the guide and thereby reduce the friction during this movement of the handle. This freedom of movement of the handle enables the user to follow a movement path that corresponds with the body's natural movement, which increases the effectivity of training and at the same time reduces risk of overstraining muscles and tendons.
  • the training module comprises at least one weight receiving part for receiving weighs, thereby changing the mass moment of inertia of the training module. This provides the user with the option to vary with the weight, the necessary amount of torque the user must apply to change te angular momentum of the module. A change in weight thus changes the "resistance" of the module that is felt by the user, thereby determining the training intensity. Weights may be specifically tailored to the module a could for instance be 50 g and/or 100 g weights that allow for a gradual increase in training resistance.
  • the training module comprises at least two weight receiving parts, wherein the distance from a first weight receiving part to the coupling is smaller than the distance from a second weight receiving part to the coupling.
  • This allows the user to change the mass moment of inertia of the training module not only by varying the amount of weight, but also by varying the weight's position along the module in terms of distance from the module's centre of rotation (which is located at the coupling). Namely, the further the mass is placed from the centre of rotation of the module, the greater the mass moment of inertia of the module. Placing weights at different positions along the module in terms of distance to the coupling thus uniquely effects the dynamic characteristics of the module, giving the user options with regard to training resistance and feel of the module.
  • At least one weight receiving part may be provided at the coupling.
  • the weights By placement of the weight receiving part at the coupling, the weights can be positioned relatively close to the centre of rotation, which weights therefore have a limited effect on the module's mass moment of inertia. Hence, placement of weights on this weight receiving part allows for a gradual increase in training intensity.
  • At least one weight receiving part may be provided at an end of at least one of the at least one guide, which end is facing away from the coupling. This allows for the placement of weights at a position along the module that is distant from the coupling, and therefore distant from the centre of rotation. Placing weights at this weight receiving part will thus have a large effect on the experienced resistance of the module. Placement of relatively small weights thus lead to a large increase in training intensity.
  • At least one weight receiving part may be provided on at least one of the at least one handle. This allows for additional possibilities to change the weight and weight distribution of the training module, thereby providing the user with options to change the effect and/or intensity of the training. Moreover, by placing weights on the moveable handle, the weight distribution of the training module changes during use of the module as the handle is moved to and away from the module's centre of rotation.
  • the at least one handle may comprise an anatomically shaped outer surface to closely fit the cylindrical grasp of a human hand.
  • the anatomically shaped outer surface of the handle improves, amongst others by an increased contact surface between the hand and the handle, the handle's ergonomics and considerably increases comfort for the user compared to for example a cylindrical handle.
  • user performance and safety are increased due to the user being able to better retain a firm grip on the handle. This firm grip has been found necessary for a proper load transfer from the hand onto the training module, especially in the case that training resistance or intensity is increased by adding weights to or increasing movement speed of the module.
  • the handle is provided with a weight receiving part such that weights are directly placed onto the handle, the user must, during exercise, counteract the downward force of the weights exerted on the handle. Also in this case of increased forces acting on the handle, it is especially important that the handle provides the user the best possible grip and comfort through the use of said anatomically shaped outer surface.
  • the anatomically shaped outer surface of the at least one handle comprises a protruding circumferential edge, configured to interface at one side thereof a hand's thumb and index finger and on another, opposing side thereof the weights placed on the weight receiving part.
  • the protruding circumferential edge is at one side thereof anatomically shaped to follow the shape of the hand's thumb and index finger and at the other, opposing side thereof substantially flat to from an even surface for the weights to be placed on.
  • the protruding circumferential edge serves as a spacer between a user's hand and the weights and prevents excessive pressures exerted by the weights on the hand. The latter effect is effectuated by the enlarged surface area of the circumferential edge interfacing with the hand and further strengthened in case the circumferential edge is anatomically shaped.
  • the anatomically shaped outer surface of the at least one handle comprises a circumferential indentation configured for receiving a hand's thumb and index finger, a rounded protrusion adjacent to the circumferential indentation configured for being enclosed by the hand's middle and ring finger and a tapered protrusion opposing the rounded protrusion configured for supporting the hand's ball of the little finger.
  • the circumferential indentation allows the user to apply, with his/her thumb and index finger, a powerful grip on the handle to decease the chance of slipping of the hand and/or fingers from the handle.
  • the rounded protrusion increase the amount of grip that can be obtained by the use of the user's middle finger and ring finger as the rounded protrusion effectively fills the space underneath said fingers, thereby increasing the area where the fingers may contact the handle.
  • the tapered protrusion supports the hand's ball of the little finger to prevent unwanted ulnar deviation during movement of the handle. All aspects of the anatomically shaped outer surface together provide a user's hand with the maximum amount of support and load transfer capabilities during exercise.
  • the at least one handle is symmetrically shaped with respect to a plane of symmetry containing the longitudinal centre line of the guide.
  • the symmetrical design of the handle allows the handle to be gripped and used by a right hand as well as a left hand.
  • only one type of handle needs to be applied in the training module.
  • the training module comprises first adjusting means for adjusting the distance of the at least one guide with respect to the coupling. This allows the user to adjust the module in its longitudinal direction, thereby determining the range of motion of the guide and the thereto attached handle. This adjustment option is especially useful for accommodating users of different lengths such that, independent on the body length of the user, a full range of motion of the module can be ensured that allows for maximum extension of the of the arms and vertebrae. Moreover, the total length (full height) of the module can be reduced such that it meets specific shipping requirements set by a shipping agent, which enables shipment or decreases cost of shipment.
  • the first adjusting means are incorporated into the coupling and comprise a receiving space for fittingly receiving a part of the training module containing the at least one guide, thereby securing said part of the training module in a radial direction.
  • the receiving space allows simple attachment of the part of the training module containing the at least one guide, while enabling the distance of the part of the training module containing the at least one guide to still be adjusted with respect to the coupling.
  • the receiving space and the part of the training module containing the at least one guide are both provided with at least one recess configured for receiving a corresponding retention element for securing said part of the training module in an axial direction.
  • the recesses in combination with the retention element are able to secure the training module in different positions in axial direction, making the training module adjustable in height.
  • the first adjustment means may also comprise a (electric motor) spindle drive to automatically adjust the distance of the at least one guide with respect to the coupling, and more specifically adjust the position of a part of the training module containing the at least one guide with respect to the receiving space.
  • the training module may comprise second adjusting means for adjusting the distance between the guides.
  • the distance between the guides will at least in part determine the grip position of the hands, thereby altering the training effect. Placing the guides close together results in a close-grip position of the hands, which allows training of regular, functional joint stability. Placing the guides further apart results in a wide-grip position of the hands, which places an emphasis on the compression within the shoulder joint and, to a greater extend, the acromioclavicular joint.
  • the second adjusting means enable the user to pre-set the distance between the guides (for example dependent on the user's shoulder width) unwanted horizontal adduction in the acromioclavicular joint and the corresponding intra-articular disk during training can be prevented.
  • the second adjusting means are configured to adjust an angle enclosed by the guides.
  • the user is provided with a whole new range of possible movements, which further expands the training possibilities of the training module.
  • adjustment of the angle enclosed by the guides enables the shoulder stabilizers to be exercised in a different, full range of motion, thereby addressing shoulder stability in a comprehensive manner. This is especially beneficial in preventing or recovering from common rotator cuff injuries.
  • the training module may comprise a wall mount configured for connecting the coupling to a wall and thereby attaching the training module to said wall.
  • the training module can remain clear of the floor, saving floor space and decreasing the module's footprint.
  • the training module may in this case comprise a mount configured for connecting the coupling to such a freestanding vertical support.
  • the freestanding support may hereby be configured to connect multiple training modules on different sides of the freestanding support for an efficient use of the available space.
  • the wall mount may comprise a connection element for connecting the coupling thereto, wherein the connection element, by means of third adjustment means, is adjustable in its position with respect to the wall and in particular is adjustable in height.
  • third adjustment means therewith allow for the adjustment of the position of the at least one guide and at least one handle of the module with regard to the floor without changing the total length of the module measured from the coupling to the upper end of the guide, thus keeping constant the range of motion of the guide and the thereto attached handle.
  • the third adjustment means enable the user to independently set the height of the guide and handle, based on the user's length, and the range of motion of training module, based on the desired training effect.
  • the wall mount may comprise a safety mechanism for limiting the maximum deflection of the at least one guide.
  • the allowed maximum deflection thereby preferably lies within normal the range of motion of the user. This makes the training module inherently safe to use, even for users having physical disabilities such as reduced eyesight or scoliosis who therefore cannot keep full control of the module's movement.

This allows for a safe storage of the training module while the module is not in use. Besides, in supported position parallel to the wall, the module occupies a minimum amount of space.
  • the wall mount may be adjustable in height to match the length of the at least one guide.
  • At least one of the at least one guide may be provided with a spring for generating a resistance force upon movement of one of the at least one handle connected to said guide, which force acts on said handle in a direction opposite to the direction of said movement.
  • the spring will influence the forces necessary to move the at least one handle along the respective guide and thereby influences the amount of force the user has to exert on the handle. This force is thus dependent on the position of the handle, and, other than the force required to counteract the gravitational force pulling on the module or the force required to change the angular momentum of the module, independent from the position or momentum of the module.
  • the spring can thus be used to counteract and/or amplify the force the user has to exert necessary to accelerate the module in a certain range of motion of the module.
  • the spring is directly connected with the handle, wherein at the point where the spring engages on the handle, the handle may be provided with a cover plate or flange to ensure a proper load transfer from the spring onto the handle and vice versa.

  • One of this at least one sensor is preferably provided on one of the at least one handle of the training module, such that not only the movement of for example the at least one guide may be tracked, but that the position of the at least one handle and thereby the user's hand(s) is also tracked concurrently.
  • the sensor data may be received by a receiver and presented on a screen, placed nearby the training module to provide the user immediate feedback on the position of the module.
  • the movement of the training module can also be registered for later analysis. It is also imaginable that the user, based on the sensor data, receives real-time feedback on his movement that can correct for improper form or improper usage of the module. For example, the user can be given a warning signal when a certain predetermined range of motion is exceeded and the user is at risk of injuring himself.
