As shown in FIG. 2A is a front view of the body portion 10, and FIG. 2B is a plan view of the body portion 10. FIG. The training aid 1 has a body portion 10 , a plurality of fasteners 11 , a plurality of holding portions 12 , a fixing member 13 and a first connecting member 100 .

The body part 10 is a band-like member that is wrapped around and fixed to a part of the user's body. The body part 10 may be worn on any part of the body, such as the upper arm, forearm, lower leg, thigh, wrist, and ankle.

The fastener 11 is an annular member that directly or indirectly connects to the training device. The fastener 11 shown in FIG. 1 is a metal ring. The fastener 11 has a closed shape to the extent that it can be held by a holding portion 12, which will be described later, and a member such as a training device or a carabiner can be inserted therethrough. The shape of the fastener 11 is not limited to a circular shape. For example, the fastener 11 may have a linear shape (a so-called semicylindrical shape) at one portion of the circular shape.

If the fastener 11 has an arcuate portion other than the portion held by the holding portion 12, it is possible to appropriately distribute the load applied to the connection portion with the training equipment. Moreover, the material of the fastener 11 is not limited to metal. In this embodiment, by holding a plurality of fasteners 11 on the main body 10, it is possible to appropriately distribute the load generated between the training equipment.

The holding portion 12 is a member that holds the fastener 11 to the main body portion 10 . A method for holding the fastener 11 by the holding portion 12 will be described later. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the plurality of holding portions 12 each hold the fastener 11 to the main body portion 10 .

The training aid 1 shown in FIG. 1 has three rivets as fixing members 13 .

The first connection member 100 directly or indirectly connects the training equipment (not shown) and the fastener 11 . The first connection member 100 is made of a flexible belt-shaped material such as chemical fiber. It should be noted that the first connection member 100 in this embodiment has substantially no stretchability in its extending direction. The term "substantially non-stretchable" means that the length of the belt-shaped material constituting the first connecting member 100 in the stretching direction is almost the same due to the force applied to the first connecting member 100 in normal use. It shows that it does not stretch. The first connecting member 100 in this embodiment is ring-shaped, and can be inserted through a portion of the training equipment and an openable/closable member such as a carabiner.

Note that the shape of the first connecting member 100 is not limited to a ring shape. Alternatively, the first connection member 100 may directly connect the training device and the fastener 11 without using a carabiner.

The main body 10 has a first belt-like member 110 positioned inside, that is, on the user's skin side when worn, and a second belt-like member 120 positioned outside. The second belt-shaped member 120 is fixed to the first belt-shaped member 110 by stitching or the like in the vicinity of its center. That is, both ends of the second belt-shaped member 120 are free ends and are not fixed to the first belt-shaped member 110 .

The first belt-shaped member 110 and the second belt-shaped member 120 each have locking members 111, 112, 121, and 122 that lock both ends in the longitudinal direction in a connectable manner.

In this embodiment, the first strip member 110 has a rectangular shape with rounded corners. The locking members 111 and 112 of the first belt-shaped member 110 are hook-and-loop fasteners that engage with each other to lock both ends of the first belt-shaped member 110 .

Further, in the present embodiment, the second belt-shaped member 120 has a belt shape with a swollen center. The locking member 121 is a buckle, and is locked by inserting a "stick" into a hole of the locking member 122. As shown in FIG. In addition, the shape of the 1st strip|belt-shaped member 110 and the 2nd strip|belt-shaped member 120 is not restricted to the said shape. For example, the second strip-shaped member 120 may be composed of a plurality of strip-shaped members, one strip-shaped member having the locking member 121 and the other strip-shaped member having the locking member 122 . Moreover, the locking members 111, 112, 121, and 122 are not limited to the examples shown in this embodiment.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of how to use the training aid 1. As shown in FIG.

As a result, there have been cases in which it is not possible to properly apply a load to a portion that is originally desired to be trained, such as the latissimus dorsi muscle.

By using the training aid 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to disperse the load that has hitherto been applied to the fingers and wrists to the first connection member 100 or the training aid 1 connected to the first connection member 100. , you can concentrate the load on the part you want to train. Moreover, by using a plurality of annular fasteners 11, the load applied to the main body portion 10 can be distributed appropriately.

In addition, as described above, the place where the training aid 1 is attached is not limited to the upper arm. Alternatively, the grip member of the training device t may be directly inserted through the fastener 11 . Further, in the example shown in FIG. 3, by pulling the elbow backward or downward without putting fingers on the gripping member, the gripping member is pulled only by the force of pulling the training aid 1 (and the first connecting member 100). You can tow. As a result, it becomes possible to perform training in which a load is appropriately applied to the part to be trained other than the hands and fingers. In addition, the training aid 1 can be used for rehabilitation of users who do not have strength in their fingers.

In this embodiment, as a result of pulling the gripping member, the gripping member moves toward the upper body. includes moving in the direction of

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another example of how to use the training aid 1. As shown in FIG. This figure is a diagram for explaining an example in which the training aid 1 is used for a training device t for training back muscles and the like by pulling a grip member forward.
