Description

In the present invention, the body center can be recognized both during walking and during exercises such as sports, so that the body can be smoothly moved out of the body, and the ability to exercise can be improved. It is related with a physical function improvement tool.

When a person walks, runs, or jumps, the sole of the foot usually moves as if kicking the ground with the base of the toes centered on the Ryukyu, the so-called side foot bow. This can also be known from the fact that a grip pattern for increasing the frictional force with the ground is formed at a position corresponding to the position of the Ryukyu on the outer bottom surface of the athletic shoe.

  However, it is when a person's body's drag is concentrated on the center line of the body that a person can exert the muscle strength of the whole body efficiently without waste. In other words, gravitational force acts on the human body as well as other substances, and this gravity is transmitted to the ground through the center of the body and the soles of the feet. Humans support the body with the drag generated by supporting the skeleton with muscle force against this gravity, and can exert the drag to the maximum when standing upright, but it is the center through which gravity passes This is because the drag matches the line. Therefore, the maximum drag can be obtained by recognizing the position of the sole where the centerline on which this gravity acts passes, but the potential action point of such gravity is also recognized and the drag can be reduced. Only first-class athletes are maximizing their ability to exercise.

People other than first-class athletes usually do not act by recognizing the center line of the body, and because of this, they use their own power on each part of the body, so they cannot fully exercise their ability. It is the result. This can be understood from the fact that it is easy to get tired if the posture is bad, not only during exercise but also during walking, and it hurts the body.

Therefore, by letting non-athletes to recognize the centerline of the body by perceiving the point A on the sole where the body's centerline passes, use unnecessary power on the body during walking, running, and jumping exercises. Efficient movement can be done by maximizing the resistance against gravity on the body.
None

  However, the conventional shoes are produced mainly on the fit and comfort of the feet, and the athletic shoes are also structured to apply force to the lateral arches, so that the point A passing through the center of gravity of the body is recognized. There was no proposal of footwear or tools focusing on the mechanism.

The present invention has been made as a result of intensive studies by the inventor in view of conventional unsolved problems, and does not merely stimulate the soles or so-called acupoints, but the wearer perceives the point A on the soles. By taking advantage of the body's wasted force, it is possible to walk with good posture and stability and less fatigue, and the exerciser's ability to exercise the whole body's power effectively without wasting awareness of the axis of the body An object of the present invention is to provide a physical function improving tool that can further exhibit the above.

  The means of the present invention configured to solve the above-described problem is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the footwear, and recognizes the center line of the body to the wearer by pressing against the sole position below the wearer's tibia. Consists of things to let you.

  And the body function improvement tool is good to shape | mold with an elastic material.

  Moreover, it is good for a body function improvement tool to make the lower surface of a rod-shaped body into a plane, and to form the upper surface in the convex curve surface.

  Furthermore, the physical function improving tool is preferably arranged at a position within approximately 20/100 to 30/100 from the heel toward the foot with the total length of the sole of the wearer as 100.

  Further, the body function improving tool may be supported by being embedded in a support piece made of a soft material, and the support piece may be attached to the inner bottom surface of the footwear.

  Furthermore, the body function improvement tool may be fixedly disposed on the insole surface or the back surface of the footwear.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The wearer recognizes the center line of the body by press-contacting to the sole position where the center line where the gravity applied to the body and the drag force to counteract this pass, that is, the sole position below the wearer's tibia. Thus, it is possible to effectively counteract gravity without using unnecessary force on the body to counteract gravity, and to easily perform walking and exercise.
(2) Since the body function improving tool is formed of an elastic material, the contact with the back surface of the foot can be eased and a comfortable feeling of use can be obtained for a long time.
(3) Since the body function improving tool has a flat bottom surface and a convexly curved top surface, it can be stably placed on the inner bottom surface of the footwear, and the center of the body without causing pain on the soles. A line can be recognized.
(4) When the total length of the wearer's sole is 100, the physical function improving tool is placed at a position within 20/100 to 30/100 from the heel to the toe, so that anyone can take the drag without trouble. The body function improving tool can be accurately placed at the point A to be acted on.
(5) The body function improving tool can be placed directly on the inner bottom surface of the footwear, or it can be fixed on the front or back surface of the insole for footwear provided with the insole and used for the wearer. There is an upper degree of freedom.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a body function improving tool. The body function improving tool 1 is provided inside the athletic shoe 6 worn by the wearer on the foot 51, and has an appropriate hardness that can recognize the position without giving pain to the sole 51A. By using an elastic material such as rubber, the lower surface 1A is formed into a flat elongated surface, and the upper surface 1B is formed into a horizontally elongated elongated hook shape having a convex curved surface. In addition, in this Embodiment, although the physical function improvement tool 1 is set to the size of about 0,5-1 cm in height and about 1,5-2 cm in width, according to the magnitude | size of a wearer's leg | foot 51. It can be set to an appropriate size.

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a support piece for securely fixing the body function improving tool 1 to the inner bottom surface 6 </ b> A of the athletic shoe 6. The support piece 2 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having a horizontal width of about 5,5 to 6,0 cm and a vertical width of about 8,0 to 10,0 cm in a plane, the lower surface 2A is a flat surface, and the upper surface 2B is a substantially convex curved surface. For example, a soft rubber, a soft synthetic resin, or the like is formed of a material slightly softer than the body function improving tool 1. And the body function improvement tool 1 is united with the support piece 2 by sticking in the state which was substantially embed | buried in the position which approached the back side a little from the front-back direction center of the support piece 2. As shown in FIG.

  The physical function improving tool 1 may be directly fixed to the inner bottom surface 6A of the athletic shoe 6 alone. However, the physical function improving tool 1 may be displaced in the shoe 6 due to the force of the foot 51 during walking or exercising. The body function improving tool 1 is prevented from being displaced by being integrated with the piece 2. The support piece 2 has the above-described configuration, and is securely fixed to a predetermined position on the inner bottom surface 6A with an adhesive. Further, the support piece 2 also has a function of preventing the body function improving tool 1 from giving a sense of incongruity or discomfort due to the protrusion 51A hitting the sole 51A.

  The body function improving tool 1 having the above-described configuration is used by attaching the lower surface 2A of the support piece 2 to the inner bottom surface 6A of the shoe 6 via an adhesive. The place where the body function improving tool 1 is attached is the position of the sole 51A through which the center line XX of the body passes, that is, the point A below the center of the wearer's tibia 52. Since the gravity and drag of the body are distributed to the left and right feet 51, 51 by the hip joint, the center line XX of the body is as shown in FIGS. In this way, the wearer perceives the point A of the sole 51A, which is a position below the center of the tibia 52, by the body function improving tool 1 during walking and exercise, so that the body centerline X -X can be recognized.

  In addition, in the shoe 6 with an insole, the body function improvement tool 1 may be arrange | positioned not only on the inner bottom face 6A of the shoe 6 but on the surface or back surface of the insole.

  Thus, the wearer who uses the body function improving tool 1 perceives the point A of the right foot with the body function improving tool 1 and recognizes the center line XX on which gravity and drag act, so that the resistance against gravity is effective. Can work out the body's useless power. Thus, since the femur can move without waste from the tibia 52, the iliopsoas muscle following the hamstring on the back side of the femur also smoothly stretches, and when the right iliopsoas muscle, which is an antagonistic muscle, stretches, As the muscle contracts and the left pelvis is pulled up and the hamstring contracts, the femur and tibia 52 are pulled up and the left foot 51 is raised. In this way, the left and right feet 51, 51 can move quickly by alternately perceiving the point A with the body function improvers 1, 1.

  Furthermore, by recognizing the center line XX where gravity and drag act on the left and right feet 51, 51 and being conscious of the center of the body, it is possible to exert the drag against the gravity on the body on the center line XX. The wearer can use the power of the whole body for exercise while minimizing the useless force to maintain the balance of the body, the walker can walk with good posture and less fatigue, An exerciser can further exercise his / her ability by being able to effectively use his / her whole body power without being conscious of the axis of the body.

  The shapes and dimensions of the body function improvement tool 1 and the support piece 2 shown in the present embodiment are merely examples, and the present invention is of course not limited to the form shown in the description and the drawings. .
