Description

5 OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a system for the simulated practice of exercises

climbing, whose purpose is that the athlete can train as a climber

and acquire their virtues but without the need to scale.

The object of the invention is to provide that any person who is fond of climbing can perform a physical exercise without the need or the purpose of climbing, that is, he can train as a climber making movements but without having to perform displacement, although this may

15 also be carried out by the system of the invention.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the exercise of climbing the fundamental objective is to achieve a

practicing. That is to say that conventional climbing has the most characteristic

important to solve sequences of movements that take you to a different place from the starting point.

In addition, conventional training systems not related to climbing, grips are established as facilitating elements for performing physical exercises in the vertical space, those grips being intended to facilitate the use of the apparatus, contemplating and taking into account that, if good action

10 of holding is already an exercise in itself, the objective of the grip is to facilitate the action since its main task is the exercise that follows the action of holding, as is the realization of independent concrete movements.

15 Others do not even contemplate the action of grasping as an exercise, but as a fundamental and unavoidable action for the use of the object that allows the main physical exercise (for example, bar press bench for the exercise of thrust, dumbbells for use of guided machines with ° without pulleys,

grips for rowing machines, etc).

In fitness and gym equipment, with exercises where there are grips,

aims to facilitate the action of holding on for the sake of not giving prominence to the

forearm, getting the least forced grip exercise possible, or by

5 the good of performing the rest of the movements without interference, contemplating how

simply unavoidable a minimum of effort in the action of holding. It is the case of a conventional trellis.

Also noteworthy is the fact that the case of

10 climbing, where the action of clinging has a total prominence, hence the

Grips are of very complex and varied designs.

You have to keep in mind that for a sports activity based on the

repetition of movement sequences is not harmful, it is essential to work

15 in equilibrium at the symmetrical level for the sake of avoiding muscle decompensations.

Being able to successfully extrapolate this philosophy, even for climbing practitioners, that is to say in spaces of greater surface area where a

subject displacement.

The system that is recommended is based on a compendium of features that converge with each other, one of the characteristics corresponding to the exercise

5 physics on a vertical structure without the express need for displacement,

the second characteristic being the use of grips as a difficult instrument in performing exercises, contrary to what happens

traditionally where the grips are provided to facilitate the realization of

exercises.

10 The third characteristic corresponds to the correct physical exercise based on the realization of symmetrical gestural patterns, where the distribution and design of the grips are asymmetrical, with its opposite image so that by horizontal flipping the image is symmetrical. The fourth characteristic corresponds to the possibility of

15 interaction as innovation in the methodology of physical accreditation, while the fifth characteristic corresponds to the use of external components and devices in the performance of exercises.

These five characteristics and their classes converge in the gestures of the

in order to achieve objectives based on said activity.

More specifically, the system of the invention is distinguished from what a

5 conventional climbing, since this is intended to solve problems

gestures that involve the displacement of the practitioner, specifically, through the system of the invention what is achieved is an exercise methodology that makes possible the interaction of the practitioner with third parties or technological resources, making movements on a vertical surface without the need for

10 moving around being able to use simple physical and / or complementary mechanical components in the performance of these exercises.

As for the characteristic of physical exercise on a vertical structure without the express need for displacement, the action of remaining on

15 a wall as an end in itself, including physical exercise without the need to move towards a certain direction, the objective being the movements, with or without displacement. So much so that the practitioner terminates the sequence of steps when he returns in the same position where he began, unlike conventional climbing where the importance lies in

start.

This form of physical exercise allows it to be performed on very surfaces

5 reduced, since it is not necessary that in displacements as it happened in the

Conventional climbing, if not what is done are movements with or without displacement.

On the other hand, in the system of the invention the grips or dams that are used are provided to hinder the action of gripping, allowing to stimulate and strengthen the muscles involved in said action.

With the system of the invention, the grips will have a special design to exercise the body parts that act as the first motor in the gripping action and the

15 parties involved in the action of making other independent movements to said

action.

For example, perform a hip extension and knee flexion, raised in a vertical structure seized by dams or grips with designs that make it difficult to grip, arms, or shoulders, waist, and the leg that performs the action, quite the opposite of the

which occurs in fitness and gym equipment with exercises where there are grips,

in which it is intended to facilitate the action of holding in order not to give

5 prominence to the forearm, getting a grip exercise at least

forced possible in order to perform the exercise without interference to the rest of the movements, contemplating as simply unavoidable, a minimum effort in the action of holding.

10 It is clear that the grips of the system of the invention will be minimalist designs,

very simple and ergonomic with respect to those used by climbers, since

they lack subtle reliefs and there will be little variety of designs on the same surface, since the more variety of designs of grips or weights exist on the same surface, the greater the difficulty in terms of the third characteristic

15 corresponding to the correct physical exercise based on the realization of gestural and metric patterns, to say that for the sports activity used in repetition of movement sequences, not to be harmful, it is essential to work in equilibrium at a symmetrical level and thereby avoid muscle decompensations .

symmetric, being able to contemplate that there is a minimum percentage of symmetry

which allows the functional possibility of symmetric work.

5 Specifically as for that characteristic of correct exercise, that is, the

Required symmetry should be considered in terms of the design of the grip, which can be symmetrical, in itself in relation to its own vertical axis, or be asymmetric but provided that by means of a horizontal flip it overlaps the other. Obviously, the correct distribution of the grips on the surface on which it has to

10 Performing the practice of the exercises will be essential.

Regarding the fourth characteristic corresponding to that of the possibility of interaction, that is, according to the system, a point of view is offered to the practitioner by means of transparent walls, or the replacement of opaque and solid walls by

15 back bars or mesh, with endless possibilities both at the level

instructive as for interaction with other practitioners, giving the activity a unique distinctive feature.

Note that the transparent wall used in the system will be used to

with the work methodology that an instructor could perform in a directed session

individual or collective

5 In contrast, the surfaces currently used have no claim

methodological and is employed simply as mere visual curiosity and to give

life to the speed shifting duel option, currently limiting

to a purely recreational objective and with displacement of the participants.

10 With regard to the fifth characteristic regarding the use of external components and devices in the performance of exercises, say that the system can be combined with domes, dumbbells, rubber bands and future adaptations of new accessories.

15 In conclusion, the concept of symmetric climbing participates in the system, with the same distribution of the grips on the surface and the same shape of said grips, as long as they are symmetrical with respect to their own vertical axis, or in both cases of the wall of the same face with grips whose shape has been placed on the other side of the mirror taking into account that the grips must have a traditional design, to which the characteristic of interaction with third parties must be joined,

under the transparency of the surface, as well as the empty spaces between

these transparent surfaces and their superimposed orientation, which

5 gives a distinctive character and features to the system by opening new possibilities not contemplated or exploited to date, in all that is relevant to date in

everything related to teaching, motor exercise and injury.

There may also be a reciprocal human interaction in situ, that is to say a

10 interaction of several practitioners with each other with or without an instructor, the particularity being that the surfaces where they exercise are positioned opposite each other and are transparent, or have empty spaces that allow visualizing what is on the other side, joining the possibility of conduct guided classes with multiple practitioners.

15 Likewise, there will be or may exist a reciprocal human interaction through (remote) technology, allowing a follow-up of sessions directed through live videoconferencing.

Deferred video and audio sessions.

5 Another form of interaction is technology based, through reaction to stimuli

external motivated by acoustic, visual and / or tactile signals from devices and technological means that detect and react automatically to our physical actions, referring to projections of animated and interactive objects on the surface where it climbs, as the exercises are performed, so that for this type of interaction it is not necessary that the surface of the

structure to be used instead of the possibility of seeing the other side of the wall since the

images are projected on the same surface.

External components and devices can be used in the system in the embodiment

15, such as rubber bands, ribbons, balls, metal devices with pulleys, guides and levers attached or not to the structure to be used, etc., so that in all cases the movements will be made by imitation of those proposed by the opponent or playmate, as a guide (learning and exercising new textual repertoires) or as an adversary (challenging to imitate what

Similarly third parties can interact with the practitioner through

of technology, which includes the video conference, and may also include the

5 interaction not reciprocal in what the practitioner has as a guide a recording in

audio and / or video of the exercises you must perform.

It is also possible that the grips placed on the bars of the

backrest, allows practitioners to perform face-to-face movements,

10 watching what your playmate does, by not having a trellis surface,

something that does not allow a conventional climbing wall, since the climber always

He has his back to the rest of the practitioners.

In the case of the projection of images with which the practitioner can interact, the exercise is based on moving said projected images in

an opaque surface arranged for this purpose, a surface that will be composed of a mosaic of totally opaque, translucent or transparent panels, arranged in several sizes and always adapted to the dimensions of the corresponding backrest.
