Description

  The present invention relates to an exercise supporter that is used to increase physical ability for exercise or other work when moving or otherwise moving the body.

  A supporter as an exercise assisting device is to cover an appropriate part of the body with a stretchable band or tubular body, and generally tightens the muscle of the covering part. In general, the supporter is composed of a single belt-like body that wraps around the waist, and if necessary, a backing portion made of hard nylon resin is incorporated at the back contact portion ( Patent Document 1).

  In particular, a proposal for specifying the position of the contact portion (protrusion portion) at the back contact portion has also been made (Patent Document 2). In Patent Document 2, a protrusion is provided at a position where the muscle tendon transition portion of the spine standing muscle of the wearer can be compressed, and in particular, at a position above and below the protrusion in the supporter body, the stretchability is stronger than the body. An auxiliary belt made of material is provided.

JP-A-8-89617. JP 2004-277936 A.

  In Patent Document 2, when a supporter wearer presses a muscle tendon transition portion of a spine standing muscle with a projection of the supporter, the Golgi tendon organ inside the muscle tendon transition portion is excited, and the tension of the spine standing muscle is reduced. It says that the action of the rectus abdominal muscle, which is an antagonist of the spinal column standing muscle, is increased, which makes it possible to naturally correct the lumbar vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae in a straight direction. As described above, it is well known that a point pressing stimulus to a predetermined portion of a human muscle acts on other muscles in response to the stimulus.

  In particular, the inventor has focused on the pelvis and the muscular motions surrounding it during exercise. For example, when exercising, the pelvis tilts to the left and right according to the movement of the foot, while the spine adjusts the posture by creating a scissors to keep the spatial position of the head and shoulders constant. Therefore, when the pelvis is tilted sideways, the lumbar part and convex scoliosis in the tilt direction appear, and the thoracic vertebra part appears in the opposite direction to compensate (opposite movement) for the scoliosis of the lumbar part. This pelvic swing (left / right tilt) is greatly different depending on the movement due to the difference in the contraction of the muscle groups around the limb joints. Since the limb joints are located outside the pelvis, This will cause the rotational movement.

  Furthermore, with respect to muscle contraction, the property of relaxing by applying external pressure to the muscle, the property of contracting one muscle that contracts across the joint, or the property of contracting and tensioning the muscle that antagonizes nearby, Focusing on the principle of muscles that co-contract when external pressure is applied to both the main and antagonist muscles, during physical exercise, apply pressure to the muscle parts that are overly tensioned, release the tension, and on the contrary, moderate tension to the weakened muscles Focusing on the fact that the proper angle of the pelvis, normalization of the spine, adaptive movement of the muscles and expansion of the range of motion of the various joints increase the exercise capacity and physical power, especially with supporters attached to the waist, We proposed a new supporter for exercise that can cope with the exercises of children.

  The supporter for exercise according to the present invention includes a lower protrusion provided at the upper left and right positions of the wearer's buttocks and an upper protrusion provided at the left and right positions above the lumbar spine on a base portion having predetermined shape retention and flexibility. And an intermediate protrusion provided at an upper and lower intermediate position of the upper and lower protrusions, and a band part for wearing on the body is provided on the base part, and the interval between the protrusions is 100 to 180 mm. Each protrusion is formed to have a desired cushioning property with a surface thickness of 5 to 30 mm, a left and right width of 50 to 100 mm, and a vertical width of 30 to 60 mm, and a band portion corresponding to each protrusion. It is characterized in that it is formed of a rubber band connected to the base part and upper and lower rubber bands in a bundle, and a fastener band that becomes a connection part when worn on the body.

  Therefore, the above-mentioned exercise supporter is used by being attached to the body, and the base portion has a shape retaining property that allows the protrusion to secure a predetermined position when attached to the body, and is in close contact with the body. It is equipped with the flexibility that can be worn. The base part is positioned on the back, the band part is turned to the front side of the body, and it is fastened at the fastener band part and attached to the body. In particular, the mounting is performed so that the lower protrusion and the lower rubber band are horizontal. As for the cushioning property of the protrusion, a hard material is used when a person with low back pain uses, and a soft material is used when used for daily exercise of a healthy person.

  By attaching this supporter, the lower protrusion mainly pressurizes a part of the lumbar auxiliary muscle, the longest chest muscle, the rotator muscle, the internal oblique muscle, the external oblique muscle, etc. Pressurize parts of the longest chest muscle, lumbar auxiliary muscle, lumbar quadrilateral muscle, great psoas muscle, multifidus muscle, etc., and the upper protrusion is mainly a part of the large, medium, small gluteal muscles, femoral tension muscle, etc. Pressurize. By this pressurization, a predetermined muscle is subjected to a pressurization stimulus, and the degree of pressurization varies depending on the type of exercise of the body and functions for various exercises.

  The present invention is an exercise supporter provided with protrusions that pressurize a plurality of positions below the back (waist) when worn as described above, and improves exercise ability (muscle activity) for various types of exercise. .

Comparison table of movement with and without wearing (throwing).

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The exercise supporter shown in the embodiment includes a base 1, a protrusion 2 (a lower protrusion 21, an upper protrusion 22, an intermediate protrusion 23) and a band 3.

  The base part 1 is formed with a protrusion 2 on the inside, and when the instrument is mounted on the body, the protrusion 2 is arranged at a predetermined position on the back, and the protrusion 2 is in close contact with the back. It has moderate shape retention and flexibility. And the side edge is made into a curved edge corresponding to the waist part of the body.

  The protrusions 2 are provided on the body contact surface side of the base 1 at the left, right, upper, middle, and lower six locations (symmetric), so that the body can be pressurized with a substantially rectangular surface having a certain size. The lower projection 21 is a position that pressurizes the upper part of the wearer's buttocks, is about 100 mm wide x 55 mm long, the interval between the left and right inner edges is 140 to 100 mm, and becomes horizontal when worn, Further, it is provided so as to be inclined so as to correspond to the inclined surface of the collar portion, and in particular, it is provided so as to protrude sideways from the upper middle protrusion portions 22 and 23.

  The upper protrusions 22 are provided at symmetrical positions sandwiching the upper part of the wearer's lumbar vertebra at the time of wearing the device. The upper protrusions 22 are separated by about 120 mm at the left and right upper ends, and are about 75 mm wide by about 60 m long. Conversely, it is provided with an inclination.

  The intermediate protrusions 23 are provided on the left and right in the middle between the upper and lower protrusions 21 and 22, are about 90 mm apart from each other on the left and right sides, and have a width of about 70 mm × length of about 55 m. A trapezoidal non-projecting surface 11 with an inner spacing of 50 mm and an outer spacing of approximately 30 mm is provided, and a trapezoidal non-projecting surface 12 with an inner spacing of 60 mm and an outer spacing of approximately 20 mm is provided between the upper projection 22.

  Also, the thickness is 5 mm at the base part, and the protrusions 21, 22, and 23 protrude from the body contact side surface of the base part 1 in the thickness direction by about 15 to 17 mm. It is determined appropriately according to the physical condition of the child.

  The band part 3 is formed by three rubber bands 31 on the upper, middle, and lower sides, and left and right fastener bands 32. The rubber band 31 is provided with appropriate stretchability, and each protrusion 21 , 22 and 23, one end is connected to the side edge of the base portion 1, and the other end is connected to the fastener band 32 so as to converge.

  The fastener band 32 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener, and bears attachment and detachment when the instrument is worn so as to be wound around the body.

  Thus, the device is wound around the waist of the body and mounted, and performs various exercises in the mounted state. The lower protrusions are mainly the lumbar auxiliary muscle, the chest longest muscle, the rotator muscle, the internal oblique muscle , Part of the external abdominal oblique muscles will be pressurized, and the intermediate protrusion will mainly press the part of the longest chest muscle, lumbar intestinal assistant muscle, lumbar quadrature muscle, psoas muscle, multifidus muscle, etc. The protrusion mainly pressurizes a part of the large, medium, small gluteal muscles, femoral tension muscles and the like. By this pressurization, a predetermined muscle is subjected to a pressurization stimulus, and the degree of pressurization varies depending on the type of exercise of the body and functions for various exercises.

  Specifically, various exercises are performed by wearing this device, and the results of comparison with the non-wearing state are as shown in FIGS.

  For example, from the upright state, the upper body is tilted forward (forward bending), the back is tilted (dorsiflexion), the side is tilted (side bending), and the upper body is twisted (one side bending). A comparison between before and after wearing was the result as shown in FIG. 5, and a corresponding improvement in physical exercise ability was recognized.

  Further, in the back muscle strength, as shown in FIG. 6, the abdominal muscle strength is as shown in FIG. 7, and the lifting force of one leg when applying weight and the lifting force of the arm are as shown in FIGS. There was a corresponding improvement in muscle strength.

  Further, not only the improvement of muscular strength, but also when an actual sport is performed, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the swing ability of a golf swing and the improvement of throwing ability are recognized as shown in FIG.

  As for the above, the use of this device is from the pressure stimulation by the protrusions in the standing and sitting positions to the lumbar auxiliary muscle, the longest muscle of the chest, the lumbar muscle, the multifidus muscle, the psoas major muscle, the lumbar muscle, It acts to relax the large, medium, and small gluteal muscles, and conversely, the internal oblique muscle, external oblique muscle, longest neck muscle, longest chest muscle, semi-lobe head muscle, semi-loose neck muscle, half-loose muscle, straight chest The muscles, thigh muscles, sewing muscles, adductor muscles, external obturator muscles, etc., and the muscle groups related to breathing are recognized as having an action of activating tension.

  Similar tension activation is also observed in the shoulder muscle group and the leg muscle group. It adds moderate relaxation (weaker tension than usual) to the trunk muscle group and the main muscle group of the crotch muscle group, which are necessary for maintaining daily postures, but the proximity antagonist muscles and muscles that straddle the joints contract. This is presumed to be due to this.

  Therefore, the burden on muscles that are usually heavy is reduced, and the muscles that are unable to do muscle tension become active, greatly increasing the range of motion of the entire body and improving exercise capacity. In addition, complaints such as posture correction, low back pain, and back pain are alleviated.
