Description

DESCRIPTION

Personal training device

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a device for personal training, designed to achieve multiple objectives with different types of population.

The object of the invention is to provide a device with which it is possible to work with different resistance, intensity, speed, cadence and timing to obtain the desired result, be it hypertrophy, power, strength or tonicity.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a simple, inexpensive and versatile device, but at the same time highly effective when executing countless exercises applicable to different needs.

The device is applicable from people with reduced mobility, children with minimal coordination, people who wish to maintain a healthy physical condition, initiated athletes, medium, to high-level athletes, and can be used in combination with a coach, or individually.

The device of the invention is applicable to both the upper body and the lower body.

It is also an object of the invention that the device is safe to use, avoiding damage to hands and / or feet, when high pressures are exerted on it.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although innumerable devices and machines are known for the personal training of certain muscles or muscle groups, this type of device presents a problem in which the following should be highlighted:

• Its versatility is usually very low, being applicable exclusively to a specific group of muscles.

• These are usually complex and consequently expensive devices.

• They are usually intended for a specific type of person or athlete, so they are not versatile from the point of view of being able to apply to children, people with reduced mobility, etc.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The recommended personal training device fully satisfactorily solves the aforementioned problem, in each and every one of the aforementioned aspects, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, the device of the invention is constituted from an elongated and flattened body of high resistance fabric, in which handles are defined at its ends and at different points of its length from rings that are fixed immovably to said body, and to which handles can be linked by carabiners or similar elements.

These handles or handles include a rigid tubular body through which a closed loop is attached to which the aforementioned carabiner is linked, defining safe handles in use that prevent crushing of hands or feet when very high forces are exerted on the device.

This device can be used alone, or together with another device of the same type depending on the modality or type of training to be carried out, as well as if you are performing "two" exercises or with a trainer.

More specifically, the band will have an approximate length of 230 centimeters, two metal washers will be sewn at its ends, and about 30 centimeters from these, washers will be sewn to the main body. In the middle zone of the band a fifth ring or washer will be finely and analogously included.

These rings are capable of being selectively linked to the aforementioned handles, both directly and with the interposition of a dynamometer, measuring the force applied in each exercise.

In this way, the device can be used individually, or linked through the dynamometer and by means of the central ring or washer to another device of the same type with interposition of said dynamometer.

Optionally, the washers could be replaced by length regulating devices, such as straps that close on themselves through the corresponding buckle.

Thus, the device of the invention offers great versatility, and can be applied in any space and condition, making it ideal for optimizing and complementing any sports training.

The device is very useful from an early age, because its use allows developing psychomotor skills, strength, speed and tone, allowing teamwork, improving socialization.

The handles can be used with both hands and feet, so that the device can be used by a single person combining hands and feet, or it can be linked to a piece of furniture or resistive element through the aforementioned dynamometer to perform very different types. of exercises.

In the same way, and as already mentioned previously, the device can be used in a double way, interlacing with another of the same type by means of the dynamometer, to perform simultaneous exercises between two people or between a person and a trainer.

The work in pairs is based on the execution of concentric and eccentric exercises simultaneously, since when one contracts the other relaxes, being able to vary strength, speed, angles and even muscles.

Thus, the combinations and the results that can be obtained with this device are innumerable.

From this structuring, very diverse utilities can be obtained, such as:

• Training routines to gain strength.

• Routines to gain power, muscle tone and stretching.

• Exercise routines for people with reduced mobility.

• Routines for personal trainers at home.

• Routines for children, adolescents and adults.

• Complementary programs for runners enhancing their upper body.

• Programs for cyclists.

In parallel, and as has already been said previously, the device of the invention is not only applicable to conventional athletes, but can be used in pre and postpartum preparation exercises for pregnant women, allowing the possibility of working the pelvic floor, abdominals and backs, favoring the recovery of labor and the prevention of the appearance of prolapse.

The device can also be used to prevent injuries in any work activity that requires physical effort, as well as to improve postural hygiene.

The device thus described is usable in any social environment, from a school center to a geriatric center.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and with the aim of helping a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a device for personal training made in accordance with the object of the present invention in a disassembled arrangement.

Figure 2.- Shows a view of the device of the previous figure, duly assembled.

Figure 3.- Finally, shows an embodiment in which the device is linked to another device of the same type.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the device of the invention is constituted from a band (1) of cloth, with a tested resistance capable of supporting 150kg of force, with a length of the order of 2.3 meters which is finished in washers (2) sewn to their ends through which they are linked by means of carabiners (3) or elements equivalent to some cloth handles (4), which additionally include a rigid tubular body (5), which can be cylindrical or ergonomically shaped, through which the fabric that participates in said handles is passed through, defining safe handles in use that avoid crushing hands or feet when very high forces are exerted on the device.

These handles (4) can be linked to the ends of the main body as an extension of it or linked at different points of the band (1), since it includes a second set of washers (2 ') fixed to the band at about 30 centimeters from its ends, as well as a central washer (2 '') fixed in its intermediate zone, which allows the resistance to be exerted from different points of application and body positions, being able to establish resistance to any patient or athlete, from any position, to exercise different muscles or angles.

The device will be supplied commercially in duplicate, to be able to work both individually and jointly with another person or by means of a trainer, complemented with a dynamometer (6) that is linked through its ends with any of the washers (2-2 '-2' ') and the corresponding handle (4), which allows you to measure the efforts made in each exercise.

Thus, and as can be seen in figure 3, the device can be combined in a crossed way adopting a "V" configuration to perform exercises between two people, each one of them selectively pulling the handles (4) according to the type of exercise in question, devices that are linked to each other through the dynamometer (6).

The dynamometer also allows working independently with a single device, by linking it to a resistant static element such as the leg of a piece of furniture or any other element that is sufficiently heavy.

The applicable tension systems can be multiple, and they start from the meeting of the reference rm (maximum repetition), from which adequate percentages will be established to achieve the desired results, strictly following the repetitions, strength, breaks and series necessary to obtain the evolution pursued.

The resistance, angles, speeds, cadences and variables are multiple, totally predetermined, to achieve hypertrophy, sarcoplasmic, sarcomeric, etc.

Among the main benefits offered by the device of the invention, the following can be mentioned:

• Intensive recruitment of muscle fibers, both at high competition level and adapted to the possibilities of the people who use the system, achieving more results in less time.

• Achievement of muscle mass, increasing caloric expenditure and reducing the possibility of storing fat, avoiding pain due to lack of it.

• Functional recovery of affected joints and maintenance of the muscle length necessary for the practice of high-performance sports and for a correct and healthy daily function.

• Postural prophylaxis routines, to avoid postural vices in daily life.

The device thus described, allows to match in performance to expensive systems or machines controlled by computer, allowing to carry out more than 200 different exercises.
