Description

  The present invention relates to an exercise assisting device that assists exercise such as walking and stretching by improving superficial fascia sliding at a static elimination site and alleviating muscle tension associated with the static elimination site.

  Conventionally, it has been known that specific parts of the foot, palms and back of the limbs (reflective zones) are stimulated by finger pressure, causing changes in the corresponding body parts (organs). Reflex therapy is widely used to relieve muscle tension, improve fatigue, treat diseases, and so on. This reflex therapy is generally called reflexology.

  Conventional reflexology is generally performed by a patient going to a reflexologist (surgeon) and stimulating a specific reflex area mainly by acupressure.

  There is also known a glove-type reflation device that allows a patient himself to easily and accurately give a stimulus to a specific reflex area by finger pressure, and is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-19882 (Patent Document 1). ing.

JP 2011-19882 A

  However, the above-mentioned conventional reflation device cannot be effective simply by being worn on the hand, and the person himself / herself must always give stimulation by finger pressure.

  On the other hand, for example, when the diaphragm or psoas muscle is in tension, breathing becomes shallow, the balance of abdominal pressure is lost, and walking cannot be performed normally. There may be a sense of tension. In this case, it is known from experience that stimulation of the reflex area on the back of the hand improves gait disturbance, etc. However, the conventional reflation device described above requires stimulation by acupressure with the finger on the opposite side while walking. Since both hands cannot be shaken normally, the balance of the body is lost, and there is a possibility that other parts may malfunction. In addition, it was difficult to adjust the intensity of the stimulus, sometimes causing pain, and the duration of the effect was short and it was impossible to exercise for a long time.

  In addition, according to knowledge from users of training facilities operated by the inventors of the present application, even if they stop and temporarily give stimulation by acupressure, they often feel lazy again when they start walking. It was a fact.

  Therefore, the present invention can be easily attached to the hand, and by simply removing the specific part of the back of the hand, the collagen fiber adhesion (cross-linking) is reduced by eliminating static electricity, and the elasticity of elastin is increased. An object of the present invention is to provide an exercise assisting device that can relieve muscle fascia and relieve muscle tension and assist exercise such as walking and stretching.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical means.

  That is, the exercise assisting device according to the present invention includes a static elimination member that neutralizes only static electricity charged near a specific part of the body surface, and a holding member that holds the static elimination member on the specific part. To do.

  In general, the surface of a human body is generally charged with static electricity having a voltage of about 6,000 to 10,000 V due to friction between skin and clothes or friction between skin and air in daily life. Are known. The inventor of the present application paid attention to the relationship between the static electricity charged on the body and the reflection zone, and made various trials. When the static electricity charged in the vicinity of a specific reflection zone was removed, a reflection effect similar to stimulation by finger pressure might appear. The present invention has been found and made based on such knowledge.

  According to the exercise assisting device of the present invention, by eliminating static electricity charged in the vicinity of a specific part of the body surface by the static eliminating member, the superficial fascia sliding at the static eliminating part is improved and related to the specific part. Normalizing the flow of weak electricity in the nerve, and normalizing the muscle function related to the nerve by reflex action, it is thought that the function of the muscle can be improved and the muscle tension can be relieved. It is done. In addition, it is preferable that the static elimination member is configured so that only the specific part is neutralized and the static elimination is not performed on other parts. This is because when all parts of the back of the hand are neutralized with static elimination gloves or the like, the reflex action becomes diffuse and the effect of improving the function of the muscle corresponding to a specific part is hardly manifested.

  Further, the present invention comprises a string-like static elimination member that neutralizes only static electricity charged near a specific part of the back of the hand, and a long holding member that holds the static elimination member in proximity to the specific reflection zone, The movement is characterized in that both ends of the static elimination member and the holding member are connected to each other to form a loop as a whole, and the long holding member is elastically stretchable and attached to the surface of the palm. It is an auxiliary tool. According to the present invention, in addition to the above-described effects, it is easy to attach to the hand and is excellent in convenience. As the holding member, a rubber string made of conductive rubber, a coil-shaped member made of a conductive elastic plastic material, or the like can be used. The conductivity may be imparted by imparting a conductive metal or a non-metallic substance to the non-conductive material.

  In the exercise assisting device according to the present invention, a spacer that separates the static elimination member from the surface of the back of the hand (body surface) is attached to the static elimination member, and the static elimination member is preferably neutralized by corona discharge. More preferably, the static electricity charged in the specific part is preferably discharged to less than 1000V, more preferably less than 100V. The electrostatic voltage charged in the human body is about 6,000 to 10,000 V, and the amount of current is very weak, so there is not enough power to damage the human body. On the other hand, the amount of current that transmits nerve cells is very high Therefore, it is considered that the nerves are slowed down due to the effect of charged static electricity, or the muscles are in tension due to the weak current flowing through the related nerves due to the influence of static electricity. Therefore, in the present invention, the effect of stimulating the specific reflex area is enhanced and the function of the corresponding organ is improved by largely removing the charge only at the specific site. The spacer has an effect of increasing the charge removal effect by corona discharge. The principle of corona discharge static elimination has been well known, and as a static elimination member that can be suitably used in the present invention, for example, a knitted string made of a mixed yarn of stainless fiber and polyester fiber can be used. As such a static elimination member, for example, a self-discharge type static elimination string “BEKISTAT” manufactured by Bekaert Toko Metal Fiber Co., Ltd. can be used.

  Note that the exercise assisting device of the present invention corresponds to the specific reflection zone by discharging only static electricity charged in the vicinity of the specific reflection zone on the back of the hand with a static eliminating member held in proximity on the specific reflection zone. It can be suitably applied to a physical condition improvement method by reflexology that improves the function of an organ. As an example, only static electricity charged in the vicinity of the reflection zone of the diaphragm on the back of the hand is neutralized by a static elimination member held in the vicinity of the reflection zone, thereby improving the function of the diaphragm, thereby causing lazyness and obstacles during walking. Can be improved.

  According to the present invention, only static electricity charged on a specific part of the back of the hand (preferably, a specific reflection zone) is neutralized by the static eliminator held on the reflection zone, so that even during exercise, it is always possible. By neutralizing the part and normalizing the nerve function related to specific muscles and relieving muscle tension, we can improve gait disturbance and reduce the pain felt during stretching exercises and perform efficient stretching exercises It can be carried out. In addition, as a rule of thumb, the explanation was made in relation to the reflex area, but regardless of the currently known reflex area, it is also possible to relieve the related muscle tension by neutralizing a specific part of the back of the hand. is there. That is, in recent years, the cause of muscle dysfunction (fascia contracture) is being elucidated, and the reduction of fascia is thought to be mainly due to the adhesion (cross-linking) of collagen fibers that lack elasticity. ing. Fascia contractures caused by cross-linking may propagate from the cross-linked portion to the connected fascial network to reach the cervical spine, and symptoms such as secondary disorders / related pain / reflexes may appear. I understand. On the other hand, it has recently been elucidated that collagen has a piezoelectric effect, and the adhesion of collagen fibers proceeds by a piezoelectric phenomenon caused by static electricity. The present invention improves physical condition and flexibility by improving the superficial fascia gliding on the back of the hand by removing static electricity from the back of the hand and improving the functions of nerves and muscles in the body related to the superficial fascia network. It is possible to exert effects such as improvement of the above.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the example of mounting | wearing the hand of the exercise assistance tool which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is a perspective view of the exercise assistance tool. It is a schematic explanatory drawing of the reflection zone of the back of the hand.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, referring to FIG. 3, an outline of the main reflection zones on the back of the hand is shown. In the figure, A is the diaphragm, B is the elbow, C is the knee, D is the waist, E is the genital organ, F is the chest, and G is the reflex area corresponding to the trachea. It is widely known as a rule of thumb as an effect. In the present specification, the term “muscle” includes internal organs such as a diaphragm made of muscle fibers and a heart.

  FIG.1 and FIG.2 shows an example of the exercise assistance tool which concerns on this embodiment, This exercise assistance tool is the length for mounting the static elimination member 1 which consists of a self-discharge type static elimination string, and this static elimination member 1 on the back of a hand. A holding member 2 having a long coil shape and a loop-shaped static eliminating member 3 for thumb attached to the end of the holding member 2 are provided. Both ends of the static elimination member 1 are respectively connected to both ends of the holding member 2 and are formed in a loop shape as a whole. In addition, it can also be expected that the muscle tension of another part is relieved by attaching the static eliminating member 3 to another finger other than the thumb.

  As the static elimination member 1, self-discharge type static elimination string "BEKISTAT" manufactured by Bekato Toko Metal Fiber Co., Ltd. was used. In addition, the holding member 2 has elasticity that can be stretched, can be easily adapted to the size of the wearer's hand, and can be easily attached and attached with a restoring force, so that the static elimination member 1 can be attached. It can be stably held on a specific reflection zone, specifically on the reflection zone A of the diaphragm. The holding member 2 is preferably conductive, and can be formed of a conductive vinyl material or the like.

  Each of the static elimination members 1 and 3 has a plurality of spherical spacers 4 and 5 for slightly separating the static elimination members 1 and 3 from the surface of the back of the hand or the surface of the thumb. It is attached so that movement can be adjusted. Thus, by slightly separating the static elimination members 1 and 3 from the surface of the hand, the corona discharge action is actively generated, and a large static elimination effect is exhibited continuously. In addition, it is not necessary to make it leave | separate from the surface of a hand over the full length of the static elimination members 1 and 3, and the static elimination member may be contacting the surface of a hand in several places.

  FIG. 1 shows a state in which the exercise assisting device is mounted on the hand. When the holding member 2 is mounted on the palm side and the discharging member 1 is on the back side of the hand, the discharging member 1 is moved from the vicinity of the base of the thumb to the little finger side. The surface of the back of the hand is held close to the middle of the back of the hand, and the neutralizing member 1 is necessarily positioned over the entire length of the diaphragm in the left-right width direction. Only the vicinity of the static electricity will be removed. On the other hand, the holding member 2 is in the palm of the hand and functions as a ground due to moisture caused by palm sweat, etc. during walking, and the static elimination action of the reflection zone A by the static elimination string 1 can be always generated during walking. Static electricity generated continuously during walking can always be removed. Further, the static eliminating member 3 for the thumb is attached to the thumb so as to perform static elimination near the base of the thumb.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the design can be changed as appropriate. For example, the static elimination member can be formed not only in a string shape but also in a shape corresponding to the shape of a specific reflection zone, and is made of a conductive member such as a copper wire and is in close contact with the skin without providing the spacer. You may let them. In addition, the holding member may be constituted by a rubber string, and the overall shape of the tool is not limited to a loop shape. For example, the holding member is an adhesive that attaches the charge removal member on a specific reflection zone. You may comprise with a tape. Further, in addition to the back of the hand, a static eliminator can be mounted on the body surface such as the back of the foot, wrist, ankle, and neck.

  The following test data is a result of a standing body bending test performed on a user of a training facility operated by the inventors of the present application. “No wearing” is a result when the exercise assisting device of the present invention is not worn, and “copper conductivity” is an exercise assisting device in which the static elimination member is made of a copper wire and is in close contact with the skin. "Self-discharge" is the result when wearing an exercise assisting device that eliminates the spacer of the above embodiment and causes the self-discharge static eliminator string to be in close contact with the skin. "Is a result when the exercise assisting tool according to the embodiment is mounted.

  As is clear from this experiment, by removing only the static electricity charged on a specific part of the back of the hand, the flexibility of all subjects was improved, and good test results were obtained. In particular, in the case of the non-contact self-discharge neutralization string, a dramatic improvement is recognized, and it is recognized that the function of nerves and muscles in a specific part of the body is improved by a large neutralization effect.
