Description

  The present invention relates to a strength training method and apparatus that can be performed without imposing an excessive burden on the body.

  In recent years, various types of strength training methods have been proposed. The strength training is performed for the purpose of maintaining and improving the strength, but there are various purposes. For example, sports athletes may try to improve muscle strength, ordinary people will try to maintain muscle strength, people who have overcome injuries or illnesses may try to recover muscle strength, and physical function may decline due to aging. Elderly people are trying to improve muscle strength to restore physical function.

  At present, various types of strength training methods according to various purposes such as those described in Patent Document 1 have been proposed. However, most of the muscle strength training currently proposed is performed by applying a load to muscles using various types of devices, such as weight and elasticity provided in the devices. Such strength training performed by applying a load to muscles using the weight or elastic force of the device may put an excessive burden on the body and may damage muscles and joints. Such inconveniences are particularly noticeable in people who have insufficient muscular strength, such as those who have just overcome an injury or illness or are elderly.

  Therefore, the present inventor has developed a new strength training method (hereinafter referred to as “a muscle strength training method”) that can efficiently improve muscle strength without using an instrument and without applying an excessive load to muscles such as push-ups and flexion and extension exercises. , "Natural training method"). The principle of the natural training method is to “improve muscle strength by repeating the action of maximizing muscle strength.” Specifically, at the limit of muscle contraction, the muscle contracts for a certain period of time. The improvement of the muscular strength is realized by applying a force in the direction.

  In the conventional strength training method, an extreme load is applied to the muscle using an instrument or the like, and the operation of contracting the muscle in that state is performed. The muscle strength training method as described above applies a maximum load to the muscle during the operation of contracting the muscle. However, the muscle force for contracting the muscle can be utilized to the maximum when the muscle is contracted to the limit. That is, when the muscle is contracted to the limit and a force is applied in the direction to maintain the state, the maximum muscle strength for contracting the muscle is used. The natural training method was developed in consideration of the above points, and the muscle strength for contracting the muscles is increased by performing an action of applying force in the direction of maintaining the state for a certain time at the limit of muscle contraction. It is a strength training method that can be used to the fullest to achieve efficient muscle strength improvement. For reference, FIG. 1 shows a conceptual diagram of an example in which the natural training method is implemented. FIG. 1 (a) is an example in which a natural training method for the purpose of improving the muscular strength of (0101) such as the biceps, which is a muscle used to bend the elbow, is performed. In FIG. 1 (a), the elbow is bent in the direction of the arrow in the figure, the biceps, etc. (0101) is contracted to the limit, and a force is applied in the direction in which the state is maintained (the direction of the arrow in the figure). Thus, the biceps muscle (0101), which is a muscle used to bend the elbow, is used to the maximum extent. Then, by maintaining the state for a certain time (10 seconds or longer) and then repeating the operation of releasing the force a predetermined number of times, the biceps muscle that is a muscle used to bend the elbow (0101) Improve strength. The number of repetitions is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to repeat three or more times in order to efficiently improve muscular strength. In the state of FIG. 1A, when a force is applied in the direction in which the state is maintained (the direction of the arrow in the drawing), the triceps brachii muscle (0102) that is an antagonistic muscle is sufficiently pulled. ing. That is, the natural training method has an advantage that a sufficient stretch effect of the antagonistic muscle can be obtained at the same time. Note that the natural training method can be used not only for the biceps (0101) described with reference to FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), it is also natural for the purpose of improving the muscular strength of the biceps femoris, semi-tendon-like muscle, semi-membranous muscle, etc. (0103) used for bending the knee. Training methods can be used. In FIG. 1 (b), the knee is bent in the direction of the arrow in the figure, and the biceps femoris, semi-tendon-like muscle, semi-membranous muscle, etc. (0103) are contracted to the limit and the state is maintained (FIG. 1). (0103) is utilized to the maximum extent by applying a force in the direction of the middle arrow). At this time, the antagonistic muscles such as the quadriceps and sewing muscles (0104) are sufficiently pulled.

Such a natural training method can be performed without imposing an excessive burden on the body, so there is no risk of damaging muscles or joints. Moreover, since an unnecessary apparatus is not required, it has the convenience that it can be implemented anytime and anywhere.

<< Embodiment 1 >>
<Outline of Embodiment 1>

  The muscle strength training method according to the first embodiment aims to train muscle strength used to bend bending movable parts such as the neck, elbows, knees, and shoulders using a natural training method. In order to easily guide the state in which the angle is minimized, and to easily pull out the action of applying a force in the direction of maintaining the state, the holding device is used.

Further, the holding device has a shape that can be easily sandwiched between the folding movable parts, and has a thickness (size) that does not interfere with minimizing an inner angle formed by the folding movable parts. To do.
<Functional configuration of Embodiment 1>

The muscle strength training method of the present embodiment is configured to train muscle strength used to bend bending movable parts such as the neck, elbow, knee, and shoulder using the natural training method developed by the present inventor. Yes. Since the details of the natural training method are as described above (FIG. 1 and the like), the detailed description here is omitted. The “folding movable part” includes all parts that can be bent in the human body, such as the elbow, knee, neck, and shoulder, as well as the wrist, ankle, finger, belly, and back. The muscle strength training method of the present embodiment trains the muscle strength by repeatedly performing an operation that makes maximum use of the muscle used to perform the operation of bending the bending movable part. The details will be described in several steps.
<<< First step >>>

The muscle strength training method according to the present embodiment includes a holding device sandwiched inside folding movable parts such as the neck, elbows, knees, and shoulders, and applies force to minimize the inner angle formed by the bending movable parts for a predetermined time. Quiesce. The “inside of the folding movable part” means a side where the angle formed by the part becomes small when the bending movable part is bent, and in (0201) in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b). Applicable part is shown.
<Nipping device of Embodiment 1>

  The “clamping instrument” is an instrument for sandwiching inside the bending movable part. One of the purposes of sandwiching the holding instrument inside the movable movable part is to perform an operation of sandwiching an object (holding instrument) at the movable movable part, so that "the action of bending the movable movable part", " Anyone can easily perform the operation of minimizing the inner angle formed by the folding movable part and the action of applying a force in a direction to maintain the state where the inner angle formed by the bending movable part is minimum and resting for a predetermined time. Is to guide.

The shape and size of the holding device is not particularly limited as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned purpose, but if it is too thick (too large), it is a hindrance to minimize the inner angle formed by the folding movable part. There is a risk of becoming. Therefore, it is preferable that the holding device used in the strength training of the present embodiment is not too thick (not too large). Specifically, for example, a cloth-like thing having flexibility as shown in FIG. 3 may be used as the holding device (0301). FIG. 3 shows a state in which the inner angle formed by the movable bending part is minimized by performing an operation of sandwiching the cloth-like holding device (0301) between the elbows which are one of the movable bending parts. From this state, in order to guide the muscular strength training person to squeeze out the force to further reduce the inner angle formed by the bending movable part, the training assistant uses one end of the cloth-like holding device (0301). For example, an operation may be performed such as pulling out the cloth-like holding device from the bending movable part ("elbow" in FIG. 3) of the training person. In such a case, the training practitioner performs an operation of applying force so that the cloth-like holding device (0301) does not come out of the bending movable part (applying force in the direction of the arrow (A) in FIG. 3), The force can be applied to further reduce the inner angle formed by the folding movable part. Such a muscular strength training method has an advantage that it can be carried out while enjoying the game.
<< Cylindrical clamping device >>

  Moreover, as another nipping instrument, it has a flexibility and the shape may be a cylinder shape which can cover a bending movable part, as shown to Fig.4 (a). The material is not particularly limited as long as it has appropriate flexibility, and for example, cloth or nylon can be used.

  4 (a) is a movable movable part (“elbow” in FIG. 4 (b)) as shown in FIG. 4 (b). Can be used in a state of covering. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the training practitioner bends the folding movable part in a state where the folding movable part is covered with the cylindrical holding device (0401), and is shown in FIG. 4 (c). In this way, an operation is performed in which the cylindrical holding device is bent and sandwiched inside the movable portion. That is, the size of the cylindrical holding device needs to be a size capable of covering the bending movable part. In addition, when the cylindrical holding device is moved from the state shown in FIG. 4B to the state shown in FIG. 4C, the training person can operate as if he / she pinches the holding device between the movable parts. It needs to be something. That is, in the state of FIG. 4B, it is desirable that the cylindrical holding device does not fit so much to the bending movable part and has a size that allows a free movement. When configured in this way, the training practitioner can easily perform strength training (natural training method) by operating with the sensation of being sandwiched between movable parts that can be bent so as to fix the movement of the cylindrical holding device that moves freely. The desired operation can be performed. In addition, the cylindrical holding instrument (0401) shown to FIG.4 (b), (c) is an example, The magnitude | size naturally changes according to the bending movable site | part to cover.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4C, the cylindrical sandwiching device has a thickness that hinders the training person when applying the force to minimize the inner angle formed by the bending movable part. It is hoped that it is not. Although the specific thickness of a desirable cylindrical holding instrument varies depending on the bending movable part, it is preferably about 5 mm to 30 mm.

  Here, also when using a cylindrical holding device as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the training assistant pulls one end of the cylindrical holding device (0401) in the direction of the arrow (A) in the figure. For example, an operation may be performed such that the holding device is bent and removed from the movable portion. In such a case, the training practitioner can easily perform the operation of applying force so that the cylindrical holding device (0401) does not come out of the bending movable part (applying force in the direction of arrow (A) in the figure). The force can be applied to further reduce the inner angle formed by the folding movable part.

Incidentally, the cylindrical holding device as shown in FIG. 4 (c) is naturally inside the folding movable portion by the same means as the cloth-like holding device in FIG. It can also be used between.
<Still motion>

  In the muscle strength training method of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4C, the training person maintains the “state in which the inner angle formed by the bending movable portion is minimum” (in the drawing, the arrow ( With the force applied in the direction indicated by a), the robot stops for a predetermined time. At this time, the trainer uses other parts (hands, feet, etc.) that do not hold the holding device, and lightly presses the bending movable part holding the holding device so that the angle is minimized. You may assist. Alternatively, other assistants may assist such as pushing lightly so that the angle formed by the bending movable part holding the training implement's holding device is minimized. The same applies to the strength training method using a holding device). As described above, by performing training while receiving assistance, the training practitioner can more easily create a state in which the angle formed by the bending movable portion is minimum. In addition, for people who have a narrow range of movement of the folding movable part due to reasons such as not using much muscle normally, it is possible to bend gradually by repeating the above operation with assistance. The range of motion of the part can be expanded, and as a result, a more excellent training effect can be obtained. However, if the force for assisting is excessively applied, the bending range of motion may be damaged, so care must be taken to assist to the extent that it does not hurt.

As described above, the time to stand still in a state where the “inner angle formed by the bending movable part is the minimum” can be adjusted according to the level of physical fitness of the training person, but it is efficient. In order to obtain the effect of strength training, it is desirable to stand still for 10 seconds or more. In the resting state, care must be taken to keep breathing in order to prevent a sudden rise in blood pressure.
<<< second step >>>

  Next, as described in the first step, the force is released after resting for a predetermined time in a state where the inner angle formed by the bending movable part is minimized by applying a force. Then, the operation is repeated a predetermined number of times. The operation of “releasing the force” can be easily realized by using a holding device. Specifically, in a state where the training practitioner has applied the force and minimizes the inner angle formed by the folding movable part, the holding device is sandwiched and fixed between the folding movable parts. It does n’t move. The operation of “releasing the force” can be easily realized by setting the fixed holding device in a state where it can be freely moved. For example, you may implement | achieve the operation | movement which removes force by taking out the holding | gripping instrument from a bending movable part.

The muscle strength training method of the present embodiment is efficient by repeating a predetermined number of times, with the operation of “resting for a predetermined time after applying a force and minimizing the inner angle formed by the bending movable part as a set” as a set. Create a realistic training effect. The number of sets to be repeated is not particularly limited and can be adjusted according to the level of the training practitioner. Naturally, it is desirable to repeat many times in order to obtain an efficient training effect.
<Effect of Embodiment 1>

With the pinching device of this embodiment and the muscle strength training method using the pinching device, a training person can easily perform an operation for executing the muscle strength training method based on the natural training method. Further, by receiving the assistance of the training assistant, it is possible to easily and happily perform an operation for further improving the effect obtained by the strength training method using the natural training method.
<< Embodiment 2 >>
<Outline of Embodiment 2>

The muscle strength training method of the present embodiment is based on a part of the muscle strength training method according to the first embodiment (the muscle strength training method according to claim 1), and the holding device used by being sandwiched between the movable movable parts is a rod shape. The cross-sectional thickness is characterized in that it is a thickness that does not interfere with minimizing the inner angle formed by the bending movable part. In addition, the said rod-shaped pinching instrument is comprised hollow, The force required in order to crush a rod-shaped pinching instrument can also be comprised so that adjustment is possible by inserting another rod-shaped pinching instrument in a hollow part.
<Functional configuration of Embodiment 2>

In the muscle strength training method of the present embodiment, a rod-like holding device is used as a holding device sandwiched between the bending movable parts, and the rod-like holding apparatus with respect to the imaginary rotation axis of the bending movable parts such as the neck, elbow, knee, and shoulder. Are used by sandwiching them substantially in parallel. The “folding movable part” is the same as that described in the first embodiment, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. Moreover, the structure of the muscular strength training method using the holding device is substantially the same as that described in the first embodiment. Therefore, only the differences will be described below.
<< Bar-shaped holding device >>
<Variation 1>

  Here, an example of the “bar-shaped holding device” is shown in FIGS. FIG.5 (b) is the conceptual diagram which expanded the cross section of the rod-shaped pinching instrument of Fig.5 (a). Moreover, an example of the conceptual diagram which is implementing the muscular strength training method of this embodiment using a rod-shaped pinching instrument is shown in FIG. In addition, the holding device (bar-shaped holding device) of the present embodiment also has the “folding movable part” and “folding movable part by applying force” similarly to the holding tool described in the first embodiment. For the purpose of guiding anyone to easily perform the operation of minimizing the inner angle and the operation of applying a force in the direction to maintain the state where the inner angle formed by the bending movable part is the minimum. Used. In addition, the object (holding instrument) is sandwiched between the folding movable parts and the folding movable part is bent, so that the object (holding instrument) functions as a fulcrum, and the antagonistic muscle is sufficiently pulled. Therefore, the thickness (cross-sectional thickness) is a thickness that does not interfere with minimizing the inner angle formed by the bending movable part, and is a thickness that can serve as a fulcrum. There is a need. Although the specific thickness (cross-sectional thickness) of a desirable rod-shaped pinching device varies depending on the bending movable part, it is preferably about 5 mm to 60 mm. In addition, the cross-sectional thickness of the rod-shaped holding device is a length shown in (A) of FIG. FIG. 5B is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which the rod-like holding instrument is left without artificially applying any force.

Moreover, it is desirable that the rod-shaped holding device has appropriate elasticity and flexibility. As shown in FIG. 6, the rod-shaped holding device is used by being sandwiched between the bending movable parts. Therefore, by having an appropriate elasticity, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience of damaging the part without imposing an excessive burden on the contact point with the rod-shaped holding device at the bending movable part. Moreover, since it has moderate flexibility, it can be stored compactly and has conveniences such as easy to carry and easy to clean up. In order to have such moderate elasticity and flexibility, the rod-shaped pinching instrument of this embodiment may be made of an elastic material. Specifically, it is desirable to use a material such as a synthetic rubber such as silicon rubber, and the hardness is about 10 to 50. In the case of such hardness, the function as a fulcrum can be achieved without imposing an excessive burden on the contact point between the folding movable part and the rod-like holding device and without causing the rod-like holding device to be completely crushed. The material is merely an example, and other materials may be used as long as they have the same elasticity and flexibility and can produce a shape as shown in FIG. Good.
<Variation 2>

  Next, another example of the “bar-shaped holding device” is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the rod-like pinching device (0701) of the present embodiment is configured to be hollow, and the hollow portion has a rod-like pinching force having a cross-sectional thickness smaller than the cross-sectional thickness of the rod-like pinching device (0701). It may be configured such that the force required for crushing the rod-shaped pinching device can be adjusted by inserting the device (0702). Most of the configuration (material, size, etc.) of the rod-like pinching device of variation 2 is the same as the rod-like pinching device of variation 1, but the rod-like pinching device of variation 2 is configured to be hollow. It differs from the rod-shaped pinching instrument of variation 1 in that it is configured to allow another bar-shaped pinching instrument to be inserted into the portion. As a result, in FIG. 7, it is possible to adjust the force required to crush the rod-like holding device by applying a force as indicated by an arrow (A). In addition, the rod-shaped pinching device (0702) to be inserted may be configured to be hollow, and another rod-shaped pinching device may be further inserted into the hollow portion.

In order to avoid the inconvenience that the inserted rod-shaped pinching device (0702) is in close contact with the inserted rod-shaped pinching device (0701) and cannot be pulled out, the inconvenience is avoided on the surface of the rod-shaped pinching device. You may surface-treat to. Such surface processing means is not particularly limited and can be realized using any conventional technique.
<< How to use a rod-shaped holding device >>

  The rod-like holding device as described above is used by being sandwiched substantially parallel to the imaginary rotation axis of the bending movable part such as the neck, elbow, knee, and shoulder. Here, the “imaginary rotation axis” of the bending movable part is as shown by the bar in FIG. This is equivalent to a rotational axis for performing the imaginary rotational motion assuming that the operation of bending the folding movable part is a rotational motion (the concept is the same in all the following embodiments).

  FIG. 6 shows a conceptual diagram of an example in which a rod-like holding instrument (0601) is used while being sandwiched and substantially parallel to the imaginary rotation axis of the bending movable part. The muscular strength training practitioner can easily perform “the operation of bending the movable bending portion” and “the operation of bending the movable movable portion” by performing “the operation of sandwiching the rod-shaped holding device (0601) between the movable movable portions” and “the folding movable portion by applying force. “Operation for minimizing the inner angle” and “operation for applying a force in a direction to maintain a state where the inner angle formed by the bending movable portion is minimum and stopping for a predetermined time” can be performed. In addition, since the rod-shaped holding device has moderate elasticity, the muscular strength training practitioner performs `` the operation of holding the rod-shaped holding device by bending and crushing it between movable parts, and maintaining the state '', It is possible to efficiently draw out “the force applied in the direction of maintaining the state in which the inner angle formed by the bending movable part is minimum” to the limit.

  Further, when the rod-shaped holding device is used so as to be positioned at the imaginary rotation axis inside the bending movable part (in FIG. 8, (A) rod line), the rod-shaped holding device functions as a fulcrum, and further It can produce muscle contraction and antagonist muscle traction.

<Functional Configuration of Embodiment 5>

The muscular strength training method of the present embodiment uses a holding device as described below as a holding device sandwiched between the bending movable parts.
<< Clamping instrument of Embodiment 5 >>

  As shown in FIG. 13, the holding device of the present embodiment includes a first plate (1301), a second plate (1302), and a fulcrum (1303) disposed between the two plates. And an elastic member (1304) that connects the two plate-like bodies on one end side of both plate-like bodies. FIG. 14 is a conceptual diagram of a cross-sectional view of the holding instrument of FIG. 13 cut along a plane identified by the dotted line in FIG. 13A from the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. .

  The “first plate-like body” (1301, 1401) and the “second plate-like body” (1302, 1402) are configured in a plate shape as illustrated. As described below, a certain amount of load is applied to these in the process of strength training. Therefore, as the raw material, it is necessary to have the robustness which does not lose to the above loads, for example, wood etc. can be used. The size is preferably about 20 cm in length, 8 cm in width, and about 0.5 to 1 cm in thickness considering convenience and robustness. Moreover, it is desirable that the first plate-like bodies (1301, 1401) and the second plate-like bodies (1302, 1402) have the same size. In addition, the above is an example, and naturally, even if other designs are made within the same range as the above, it can be used as a holding instrument of the present embodiment.

  The “fulcrum portion” (1303, 1403) is configured in a triangular prism shape. And as shown to FIG. 13, 14, it arrange | positions in the stable state so that any one of three side surfaces may contact | connect a 2nd plate-shaped body (1302, 1402). And it positions so that the 1st plate-shaped object (1301, 1401) may cover from it. At this time, the first plate-like body (1301, 1401) is not in contact with the second plate-like body (1302, 1402) in the three sides constituting the fulcrum (1303, 1403) of the triangular prism. It comes into contact with the side. That is, in this state, as shown in FIG. 15, when a force in the direction indicated by an arrow (A) is applied to one end of the first plate-like body (1501), the fulcrum part (1503) functions as a fulcrum. Both ends of the one plate-like body (1501) operate as indicated by arrows (A) in the figure. The muscle strength training method according to the present embodiment is performed by using the above-described operations by the first plate-like bodies (1301, 1401), the second plate-like bodies (1302, 1402), and the fulcrum portions (1303, 1403). Is. Therefore, the fulcrum parts (1303, 1403) need to have robustness that is not defeated by the load applied in the process of operation, and wood, for example, can be used as the raw material. The size is preferably about 1 to 5 cm in height and about 8 cm in width (see FIG. 13) in consideration of the above operation and robustness. In addition, the above is an example, and even if the other design is made within the same range as the above, it can be used as the holding device of the present embodiment. In addition, the shape is not particularly limited as long as it is a triangular prism shape, but it is preferably a regular triangular prism in consideration of the usage form.

  In addition, when the pinching instrument of this embodiment arrange | positions the fulcrum part (1303, 1403) on the 2nd plate-shaped body (1302, 1402) in the stable state, the fulcrum part ( 1303, 1403) preferably have a means for fixing so as not to slide. The means is not particularly limited. For example, by generating the second plate-like body (1302, 1402) and the fulcrum part (1303, 1403) as one body, the fulcrum part (1303, 1403) can be moved from a predetermined position. It may be designed not to move. However, in consideration of the usage form of the holding device of the present embodiment, the fulcrum portion is configured to be freely movable on the second plate-like body (1602) as shown in FIG. It is desirable to have a means for fixing so as not to move at a predetermined position. As the “method of fixing the fulcrum part (1603)” satisfying the above-mentioned requirements, for example, the contact surface of the fulcrum part (1603) and the second plate-like body (1602) is subjected to adhesive processing or the like, The fulcrum (1603) may be fixed at a predetermined position by firmly adhering each other. Alternatively, in the same manner as described above, a hook-and-loop fastener or the like may be attached to the surfaces of the fulcrum (1603) and the second plate-like body (1602) that are in contact with each other, instead of performing adhesive processing. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of holes are provided on the surface of the second plate (1702), and the fulcrum (1703) is provided on the surface of the second plate (1702). A plurality of projections that fit into the hole may be provided, and the projection of the fulcrum portion (1703) may be fitted into the hole of the second plate body (1702) to fix the fulcrum portion (1603) at a predetermined position. .

The “elastic member” (1304, 1404) is made of synthetic rubber such as silicon rubber, and one end of both plate-like bodies of the first plate-like body (1301, 1401) and the second plate-like body (1302, 1402). It is comprised so that both plate-shaped bodies may be connected by the side. The shape is not particularly limited as long as both plate-like bodies can be connected, and as shown in FIG. 13, it may be an umbrella shape that can cover one end side of both plate-like bodies, or a rubber band. It may be a ring shape. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the elastic member (1304) is configured to act so as to tighten both plate-like bodies on one end side of both plate-like bodies and to connect them together. At this time, both plate-like bodies are in the state shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 (the state where one end side is connected) only by the force of the elastic members (1304, 1404). That is, when the elastic members (1304, 1404) are removed, the connecting portions on one end side of both plate-like bodies are in a state of being separated. The elastic members (1304, 1404) are made of a material having elasticity, such as silicon rubber, so that force is applied to the first plate (1401) in the direction indicated by the arrow (A) in FIG. Is applied, the first plate-like body (1401) operates with the fulcrum portion (1403) as a fulcrum as shown by the arrow (A) in the figure, and the connecting portion of both plate-like bodies is the elastic member (1403). It will separate while receiving the resistance force.
<Method for Performing Strength Training of Embodiment 5>

FIG. 18 shows an example in which a strength training method using the holding device (1801) of the present embodiment is implemented. In FIG. 18, the muscular strength training practitioner (indicated by a dotted line in the figure) aims to train the muscular strength of the muscle used to bend the elbow (folding movable part).
<< Set of holding instruments >>

  First, the muscular strength training practitioner places the fulcrum portion at a predetermined position. The position of the fulcrum portion at this time is determined in accordance with a position (folding movable part) that sandwiches the holding instrument, a minimum angle formed by the inside of the bending movable part of the muscle training person, and the like.

And if a muscular strength training practitioner arrange | positions a fulcrum part in a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. 18, the connection part side of both plate-shaped bodies of a holding instrument (1801) will be bent, and the bending position inside a movable part will be carried out. Set so that it is located in the vicinity (near the imaginary rotation axis: see FIG. 8). At this time, as much as possible, it is desirable to push the tip on the connecting portion side as far as the inner side of the folding movable part (set the tip so that the tip on the connecting portion side approaches the bent position).
<< Operation method >>

  When the holding device is set as shown in FIG. 18, the muscular strength training person applies a force so as to minimize the inner angle formed by the bending movable part (“elbow” in FIG. 18). . If the said operation | movement is performed, the force of the direction which closes both will be added to the holding | grip instrument (1801) to the other side opposite side of the connection end of both plate-shaped bodies connected with the elastic member. That is, a force indicated by an arrow (A) in FIG. 14 is applied. Then, the connection ends of both plate-like bodies of the holding device (1801) are separated while receiving a resistance force by the elastic member. That is, it operates as shown by an arrow (a) in FIG. Then, due to the separating operation of the two plate-like bodies, the muscles and the like in the vicinity of the bending position inside the bending movable part ("elbow" in FIG. 18) are pushed to both sides. As a result, the folding movable range of the folding movable part is widened, and the inner angle can be reduced. This is because the presence of muscles, etc., pushes the muscles that are in the way to minimize the angle between the folding movable parts from the folding position, relative to the folding movable parts where the bending movable range is narrow. This acts to minimize the angle formed inside the bending movable part. That is, the muscle strength training method is more effective for a muscle strength training practitioner who has excessive muscles and has a narrow bending movable range of the bending movable portion. Naturally, when the angle inside the bending movable part becomes smaller, the antagonistic muscle is pulled more and a further stretch effect can be obtained.

In the above description, the muscle strength training for bending the elbow is described as an example, but it is also possible to train a bending movable part such as a knee by the same method.
<Effect of Embodiment 5>

By the pinching device of this embodiment and the muscle strength training method using the pinching device, the muscle strength training practitioner can obtain a training effect superior to the natural training method performed without using the device. In addition, muscular strength training practitioners who are unable to sufficiently reduce the angle formed inside the bending movable part due to the large amount of muscles are also used by the holding device of this embodiment and the muscular strength using the holding device. By utilizing the training method, the angle formed inside the bending movable part can be made sufficiently small, and a sufficient training effect can be obtained.
