Description

  Provided are a muscle contraction promoting supporter and a belt that can be activated by muscular contraction when worn on the body and can improve fat burning efficiency by enhancing metabolic ability.

  In recent years, obesity due to poor dietary balance and reduced exercise is called obesity or metabolic syndrome and has become a major problem because it causes serious diseases such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis. Meanwhile, sauna suits, sweating supporters and slimming supplements for relieving obesity are commercially available, and the importance of aerobic exercise is mentioned.

In addition, a cylindrical supporter that is worn on a part of the body, tightens the body with an appropriate force, and improves blood circulation by radiating far infrared rays to remove the extravaganza is disclosed. (For example, Patent Document 1)
JP-A-10-211229

  However, when sweating with a commercially available sauna suit, sweat supporter or the like, the weight of sweating is temporarily reduced, and fatty acid combustion is negligible, so a diet effect cannot be expected. In addition, slimming supplements have the risk of side effects and should be used with caution.

  Further, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, blood circulation is promoted by far infrared rays emitted from the supporter, and fatty acid is burned by improving metabolism. Is not performed, and its fat burning effect is weak.

  Even if aerobic exercise such as exercise is performed after wearing the supporter, it is a part of the muscle abdomen that actually performs contraction among the muscles consisting of the tendon part and the muscle abdomen. Since the correct contraction movement is not performed, efficient fatty acid combustion is not performed.

  As described above, when fatty acids are not burned efficiently during muscle contraction exercise, fatty acids that have not been consumed as energy are sent back to fat cells, so aerobic exercise also reduces fat. It is not connected to. That is, in order to burn fatty acids efficiently, it is important to perform muscle contraction exercise appropriately and efficiently.

  Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the muscle contraction promotion supporter and belt which can improve fat combustion efficiency by making muscle contraction exercise | movement active by attaching to a body and improving metabolic capacity.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, the muscle contraction promoting supporter according to the present invention is a cylindrical supporter that is used by being attached to a muscle contraction promoting site such as the abdomen, arm, thigh, or neck, and is a stretchable material. A plurality of mesh-like bodies formed in a mesh shape are connected by a belt-like connecting body having elasticity. The muscle contraction promoting belt according to the present invention is a belt-like belt that is wound around a muscle contraction promoting part such as the abdomen, arm, thigh or neck, and has a stretchable belt body. The reinforcing core material is characterized in that it is formed in a mesh shape and is provided with a reinforcing core material that vertically crosses the belt main body at a boundary portion captured every several blocks of the mesh.

  According to the supporter and the belt according to the present invention, the muscular contraction movement is performed because the portion of the mesh body subdivides the muscle contraction pattern from the stop portion to the start portion in the running direction of the muscle fiber by being attached to the body. Can be active. Therefore, energy metabolism is increased by improving the exercise efficiency of muscles, and fat is used as energy in the order of internal fat to subcutaneous fat, so that basal metabolic capacity is increased and fat burning efficiency can be improved.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a muscle contraction promoting supporter 1 according to the present invention. The supporter 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and includes a mesh body 2 applied to the flank or abdomen and a connecting body 3 that couples the two mesh bodies 2 in the front and rear.

  The net-like body 2 is made of a stretchable material such as rubber, cloth, synthetic resin, or silicon, and made of a material that hardly absorbs moisture such as sweat. The net-like body 2 is large enough to cover the flank or abdomen, and is formed in a rectangular shape with a side of 20 to 30 cm, depending on the wearer's body shape. The mesh of the mesh 2 is formed as a square having a side of 3 to 5 cm.

  The connection body 3 is made of a stretchable material such as rubber, like the net-like body 2. The connecting body 3 connects the left and right sides of the mesh body 2 so that the two mesh bodies 2 are front and back, and the supporter 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape. When the supporter 1 configured in a cylindrical shape is mounted so that the mesh body 2 hits the flank or abdomen with fat, the mesh body 2 is attached to the flank or abdomen by tightening by the stretching force of the mesh body 2 and the connecting body 3. Pressure is applied to the mesh. Here, the pressure at the time of attachment of the stretchable material constituting the mesh body 2 and the connecting body 3 is set to be 40 mmhg or more.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the contraction motion of the muscle 4 is subdivided by the mesh-like pressure of the mesh body 2. Usually, the contraction movement of the muscle 4 is rarely performed on the entire muscle 4 and is often performed only on a part of the central muscle belly. For this reason, fatty acids are not consumed as energy in a portion where muscle contraction exercise is not performed, and fat burning efficiency is reduced. Therefore, the supporter 1 is attached so that the mesh body 2 hits the flank or abdomen with fat, and the mesh 2 is pressed in a mesh pattern between the stop and the start of the muscle 4 by the stretching force of the mesh body 2 and the connecting body 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the muscle contraction movement is performed in each mesh. As a result, the muscle 4 as a whole is subdivided equally to perform contraction, and the fatty acid can be burned efficiently.

  Further, by wearing the supporter 1 and performing aerobic exercise such as exercise or walking, the basal metabolism can be further improved, and the combustion efficiency of fatty acids can be further improved. Thereby, improvement and prevention of metabolic syndrome etc. can be aimed at effectively. Moreover, since the supporter 1 is not bulky even if it is mounted, it does not feel uncomfortable in mounting, and can be used in daily life such as at work or housework.

  3 and 4 are diagrams showing an example of use of the supporter 1, and FIG. 3 is an example of use of the supporter 1 when burning fat attached to the flank. By applying the reticulate body 2 to the outer and inner abdominal oblique muscles which are muscles of the flank, the elastic reticulate body 2 and the connecting body 3 tighten the flank portion where the reticulate body 2 is applied, and the outer and inner abdominal obliques. The muscle contraction movement of the muscle is subdivided. As a result, the entire outer and inner abdominal oblique muscles can perform the contraction motion evenly, and the fat on the flank can be burned efficiently.

  FIG. 4 is an example of use of the supporter 1 when burning fat attached to the abdomen. Similar to the explanation of FIG. 3 above, the muscle contraction exercise of the rectus abdominis muscle is subdivided, so that the entire rectus abdominis muscle can perform the contraction exercise equally, and the energy efficiency is improved by improving the exercise efficiency of the muscle. Since fat is used as energy in the order of visceral fat to subcutaneous fat, abdominal fat can be burned efficiently. When fat is reduced, blood and lymph flow also becomes smoother, and the basal metabolic rate itself is improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mesh body 2 is configured in a rectangular shape and the two surfaces are configured to face each other. However, the mesh body 2 may be formed in a cylindrical shape on the entire circumference, and the shape of the mesh body 2 is also configured in other polygonal shapes, circular shapes, or the like. The shape may be freely configured according to the body shape of the wearer. Furthermore, the expansion / contraction ratios of the mesh body 2 and the connection body 3 can be freely changed in accordance with the wearer's body shape and the like.

  FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the configuration of the muscle contraction promoting belt 10 according to the present invention, in which a hole 11 is formed in a rectangular elastic material such as rubber to form a mesh. Reinforcing cores 15 that are vertically crossed with respect to the belt main body are sewn on boundary portions 12, 13, and 14 captured in units of several blocks. The reinforcing core member 15 has a mesh so that the contraction force of the belt 10 itself does not slack in the central portion of the belt when the mesh portion subdivides the muscle contraction pattern of the muscle contraction site and acts on the muscle contraction motion. It is a member that functions so as to be added evenly to the shaped part. In addition, hook and loop fastener portions 16 and 17 are provided at both ends of the belt to extend and fix the belt during winding.

  When the mesh-shaped hole 11 is used with respect to the abdomen, the size when not stretched may be 2 to 10 cm square, but the best is 3 to 5 cm square. The contraction force of the belt is also set so that a pressure of about 40 mmhg or more is applied to the body when the belt is worn in the same manner as described above. As will be described later, when used for other parts, the size of the mesh-shaped hole 11 is 1 to 7 cm (best is 2 to 3.5 cm) in the upper arm, and 1 to 5 cm (best in the neck). The best is 1.5 to 3 cm), the thigh is 1 to 8 cm (best 2 to 4 cm), and the calf is 1 to 8 cm (best 2 to 4 cm).

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a usage state of the belt 10 when burning the fat attached to the abdomen. Similar to the description of FIG. 3 above, the muscle contraction motion of the muscles around the abdomen is subdivided, so that the entire abdominal muscles can perform the contraction motion equally, and the fat in the abdomen can be burned efficiently. .

  In the above embodiment, the supporter 1 is used for the flank and abdomen, but as shown in FIG. 7, it can be used for the thigh, the neck, the upper arm or the calf by reducing its shape. Similarly, the belt 10 can be used for other parts by reducing its shape. Further, the supporter 1 and the belt 10 can be used by being incorporated in the back side of clothing such as an inner and integrated with clothing.
