Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a training machine for performing a series of flexibility exercises programmed according to body flexibility and various sports.

(Prior Art) As training for improving flexibility, conventional gymnastics methods that are performed with a reaction force (such as radio calisthenics and the like, in which exercises are performed forcefully with a reaction force) have been performed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, this gymnastics-style training often damages muscles and ligaments. From this kind of reflection, instead of reacting or holding back the pain,
Stretching, which involves slowly stretching a muscle and maintaining that stretched state, has been attracting attention. This is because it has been medically proven that stretching before and after sports prevents accidents such as so-called muscle strains, and has a remarkable effect on recovering from fatigue after exercise.

However, this has become a major problem as many people continue to cause accidents because they do not carry out this "stretching" flexibility exercise before and after sports.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes drive parts such as a turntable driven by a drive mechanism, a forward bending bench, an Achilles tendon extension plate, an arm for splitting legs, and an arm. ,
A control unit is provided to control the movements of these driving parts and combine them as appropriate to set various programs for a series of flexibility exercises suitable for each body part and various sports.

Further, a switch for the drive mechanism was provided at the handle portion of the arm. Furthermore, the angle of the display surface of the control unit can be changed.

(Function) According to the above means, you can move your hands and feet on the arm, actuate the Achilles leg extension plate while sitting on a bench for forward bending, or hold the arm and move it while riding on the arm for splitting your legs. Stretching is automatically performed based on a program according to the individual's athletic ability and various sports according to commands from the control unit. In addition, the machine is easy to operate and the display surface of the control unit is easy to see, regardless of the user's height or various postures during training.
