APARATO DE ENTRENAMIENTO GIMNÁSTICO Y ACROBÁTICO CAMPO DE LA INVENCIÓN GYMNASTIC AND ACROBATTIC TRAINING DEVICE FIELD OF THE INVENTION

La The: presente invención se aplica al campo del Present invention be apply to the countryside of the

entrenamiento training: acrobático, y más concretame nte, a un acrobatic, Y plus concretize me nte, to a

aparato de propulsión humano acrobático. Acrobatic human propulsion apparatus.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Es conocido que la utilización de aparatos y sistemas que mejoran los resultados del entrenamiento deportivo es uno de los principales campos de investigación en Ciencias del Deporte. Dichos sistemas de apoyo al entrenamiento deportivo pueden tener como misión principal el desarrollo de la técnica del deportista (dotándole de experiencias propioceptivas y kinestésicas que potencien la eficacia mecánica de sus movimientos) o incidir sobre sus cualidades físicas (desarrollo de la fuerza, flexibilidad, resistencia, etc.). It is known that the use of devices and systems that improve training results Sports is one of the main fields of Research in Sports Science. These systems of support for sports training can have as a mission main the development of the athlete's technique (giving him proprioceptive and kinesthetic experiences that enhance the mechanical efficiency of their movements) or influence their physical qualities (development of strength, flexibility, endurance, etc.).

Entre las prácticas acrobáticos, se contempla el trabajo coordinativo ejecutado sobre el aparato conocido como “báscula”, en el cual al menos uno de los ejecutantes deja caer su cuerpo de forma activa sobre el extremo elevado de una tabla inclinada apoyada sobre un eje central elevado, propulsando con esta acción, al otro ejecutante que sale proyectado describiendo una fase aérea en la que realiza las técnicas acrobáticas. Among the acrobatic practices, the coordination work carried out on the known apparatus as "scale", in which at least one of the performers drop your body actively over the end raised from an inclined table resting on an axis elevated central, propelling with this action, to the other performer who projected describing an aerial phase in which he performs acrobatic techniques.

Sin embargo, esta estructura del aparato, con una tabla y un eje central, ocupa una gran cantidad de espacio incluso cuando no está siendo utilizada, además de suponer unos costes elevados. Además, hay que considerar que pesa mucho, lo que sumado a su gran tamaño, hace que sea poco However, this structure of the apparatus, with a table and a central axis, occupies a large amount of space even when it is not being used, in addition to assuming high costs. In addition, we must consider that it weighs much, which added to its large size, makes it little

manejable. manageable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención resuelve los problemas anteriores mediante un aparato de entrenamiento que dispone de la misma funcionalidad que una “báscula” tradicional pero que permite reducir costes y espacio al estar construido a partir de un cuerpo inflable. Además se ve reducido su peso, mejorando notablemente su manipulación. The present invention solves the problems above using a training device that It has the same functionality as a “scale” traditional but that reduces costs and space by Be built from an inflatable body. Also I know has reduced its weight, significantly improving its handling.

Dicho cuerpo inflable es un cuerpo hueco, de material rígido y hermético, con una forma sustancialmente prismática. Se entiende que con el término “sustancialmente prismática” se incluyen asimismo ligeras variaciones sobre dicha forma, como por ejemplo, bordes o caras ligeramente redondeados u otro tipo de modificaciones similares. Said inflatable body is a hollow body, of rigid and airtight material, with a substantially shaped prismatic It is understood that with the term "Substantially prismatic" also include lightweight variations on said shape, such as edges or slightly rounded faces or other type of similar modifications.

El aparato dispone también de una válvula de llenado, a través de la cual el cuerpo es capaz de ser llenado por una sustancia gaseosa hasta alcanzar una cierta presión adecuada para su función, preferentemente entre el 70-80% de la presión necesaria para conformar la pieza. Se requiere una rigidez total del material, por ser una lámina, dado que cederá ante la falta de presión interior del envase conformado. The device also has a valve filling, through which the body is able to be filled by a gaseous substance until reaching a certain pressure suitable for its function, preferably between 70-80% of the pressure necessary to form the piece. A total rigidity of the material is required, as it is a sheet, since it will give in to the lack of pressure inside of the shaped container.

Con esta presión, la forma del cuerpo permite que una persona se sitúe de pie sobre un extremo de una de las caras del cuerpo, desplazando en consecuencia parte del aire del interior hacia el extremo opuesto. A continuación, si una segunda persona, o varias, saltan sobre dicho extremo opuesto, el aire vuelve a desplazarse hacia el extremo de la primera persona, proyectándola a una fase aérea. With this pressure, the body shape allows a person stands on one end of one of the body faces, thereby displacing part of the indoor air to the opposite end. TO then, if a second person, or several, jump on said opposite end, the air travels again towards the end of the first person, projecting it to An aerial phase

La presencia de rigidez absoluta en el tejido permite que se produzca la transmisión de la presión The presence of absolute stiffness in the tissue allows pressure transmission to occur

interior y ésta sea la que empuje-propulse al acróbata. inside and this is the one that pushes-propel the acrobat.

El dispositivo podrá, pues, ser utilizado con los mismos principios biomecánicos y técnicas acrobáticas empleadas en la báscula con la gran ventaja de ahorro de espacios y costes. The device may therefore be used with the same biomechanical principles and acrobatic techniques used on the scale with the great advantage of saving spaces and costs

Se contempla la posibilidad de que el dispositivo comprenda una válvula de seguridad que saltaría ante un eventual exceso de presión interno evitando así que se deterioren las uniones de las piezas. The possibility of the device is contemplated understand a safety valve that would jump before a eventual excess internal pressure thus avoiding deteriorate the joints of the pieces.

Estos y otros aspectos de la invención serán aparentes a partir de las realizaciones descritas posteriormente en el presente documento. These and other aspects of the invention will be apparent from the described embodiments later in this document.
