Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of medical devices, more precisely to the field of exercise devices.
  • the object of the invention is a multi-purpose transportable device for training of muscle strength, postural balance and muscle flexibility in human body.
  • Musculoskeletal system is an anatomical term that refers to an organ system that is formed by muscles and bones.
  • the musculoskeletal system gives humans the possibility to move through space and perform physical activities (e.g. walking and running).
  • the ability of the human body to move is determined by motor abilities, such as muscle strength, postural balance and flexibility.
  • Muscle strength is defined as a maximum amount of force that a muscle can exert against a resistance.
  • Postural balance is the ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass towards the surface) of a body within the base of support. Flexibility is defined as the capacity of a muscle (or a joint) to move through its full range of motion.
  • Motor abilities are developed with a training that comprises of repetitions of specific activities, including movements against a resistance, movements through large range of motion, or movements in conditions that are challenging postural balance or stability of the body.
  • Various tools and accessories are commonly used to make such movements possible or to increase the effects of the training.
  • Strengthening of the muscles is possible with the use of elastic resistance (e.g. elastic bands or tubes), exercise machines, based on pneumatic resistance, or by lifting/moving heavy objects, such as weights. Improving postural balance is commonly done by assuming postures that are challenging to maintain (e.g. stance on only one of the legs).
  • To increase the effects of training of postural balance one may use tools and accessories that further challenge the stability and balance of the body.
  • the person can stand on a board or other platform, which is on top of an unstable ground-contacting structure, serving as a fulcrum.
  • the fulcrum component may be shaped as a half cylinder or a half sphere.
  • the person may also stand on a compliant surface (e.g. pads made of foam) to increase the difficulty of the training. Flexibility is increased and maintained by exposing the muscles and joints to their end-range positions. This may be done without any accessories in case of certain muscles and joints. On the other hand, many muscles and joints require additional equipment to be stretched effectively. In addition, muscles may be stretched by rolling a body against a foam roller, which is essentially a solid cylindrically shaped tool, covered with softer materials.
  • the general aim of the present invention is a development of a multi-purpose device that enables the user to develop strength, flexibility and postural balance.
  • the technical problem, which is solved by the present invention is a constructional design of a device that will enable the multi-purpose use.

  • the said device is used for balance training.
  • the said exercise device includes a large, spherically shaped, resilient exercise ball having a flat planar base insert with a set of elastic resistance members to perform various resistance training exercises.
  • the device is also similar to the present multi-purpose transportable exercise device but enables completely different exercises and movements to be performed.

  • a device disclosed in US2018369645 enables balance training of the upper body.
  • the exercises positions resemble movement of the handlebars of a motorcycle or bicycle a user experiences while riding.
  • Another device has been disclosed in CN107007969 and is designated for one trunk exercise specifically.
  • the device is providing the gravity sensing training and by using it, the plank exercise for abdominal trunk muscles is practiced in a more interesting mode under gravity sensing, so that users' interest and training effects are greatly improved.

  • the foam on top of the half-cylindrical element (20; Figure 2 ) provides cushioning for the comfort of the user.
  • the half-cylindrical element (32) also provides a base for strengthening exercises, notably the strengthening exercises for muscles of the foot, ankle and lower leg ( Figure 7 ).
  • the half-cylindrical element (32) is attached at the bottom of the central plate. As in the previous example, it connects to the magnetic sockets (5) on the bottom of the central plate.
  • FIG 7 different positioning of the foot on the half-cylindrical elements is possible. Changing the position places the stress on different muscles of the foot, ankle and lower leg.
  • the user typical extends the foot and the ankle to raise the body upwards ( Figure 7 , top right), and the slowly controls the descent into the starting position.
  • Figures 8 and 9 depict two more examples of use of the cylindrical element (32).
  • the said element may be used as a tool for stability exercises, typically for the upper limbs. During the said exercises, the user is holding the element in one or two hands, and performs quick oscillating movements.
  • the movable mass (see Figure 2 for details) within the element introduces mechanical perturbations that the user must learn to foresee and control in order to maintain the movement smooth and stable.
  • the exercise may be performed with the arm(s) in virtually any position (e.g. above the head, at the eye level, with bent elbows, etc.).
  • Figure 9 depicts the use of the cylindrical element as a foam roller. Foam rollers are cylindrically shaped tools with cushioning on the surface.
  • the users may roll their bodies against the foam rollers in order to massage the muscles, which is helpful in increasing the flexibility of the muscles, and in some cases helps to eliminate or prevent painful conditions.
  • the cylindrical element (30) may functionally serve as a foam roller.
  • the layer of foam or similar material ( Figure 2 for details) provides cushioning for the comfort of the user.
  • the device can be used in several different ways and can be easily moved between training or rehabilitation rooms or facilities, thus successfully solving the technical problem.
  • the components forming the device can be used either individually or more preferably together in different combination in order to ensure complete body workout for athletes, physically active individuals or even senior citizens that require targeted and controlled physical activities.
