2. Description of the Related Art For example, a barbell is known as one of exercise assisting devices used for strength training. As shown in FIG. 12, this barbell is composed of a bar 100 made of a hard material such as iron, and a disk 110 having a weight of several kilograms to several tens of kilograms mounted on both ends of the bar 100. It is intended to strengthen muscle strength by lifting with both arms.

[0003]

However, the conventional exercise assisting devices represented by, for example, the above-described barbells are used only for repetitive movements of a part of the body, and are not used for whole body movements. Therefore, it has been difficult to improve the exercise capacity or reflex rate of the whole body by the exercise using the conventional exercise assisting device.

In addition, when repetitive exercise of a part of the body is excessively performed, hypertrophy of only a part of the muscle causes poor blood circulation, and causes diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, articular tendonitis and hormonal abnormality. It is also true that there are things to do.

Therefore, as a result of various studies by the present inventor on exercise methods that can truly improve health, exercise using a conventional exercise assisting device represented by, for example, a barbell, that is, repetition of a part of the body Exercise may be a harmful act in terms of the balance of the whole body, and in order to truly improve health, perform a whole body exercise that integrates rotational movement (spiral movement), stretching movement and walking movement. We have come to the knowledge that this is effective.

The present invention has been made based on such findings, and an object of the present invention is an exercise assisting device which can be suitably used for a general exercise which can improve the functional balance and exercise capacity of the whole body. To provide.

[0007]

The structure of the present invention for attaining the above object is an exercise assisting device which can be used for a rotational motion of rotating the body forward, backward, leftward and rightward, and is made of a lightweight soft material. It is an exercise assisting device comprising a holding rod and a balance disk detachably attached to both ends of the holding rod and made of a soft material.

[0008]

The exercise assisting device of the present invention comprises a holding rod made of a lightweight soft material and a balance disk made of a soft material detachably attached to both ends of the holding rod.

Movements using the exercise assisting device include rotary movements (spiral movements), stretching movements, and walking movements, and the user grasps the holding rod having balance discs mounted at both ends with both hands or one hand. However, the body may be continuously rotated in the front, rear, left, right, up, and down, the whole body may be expanded or contracted, or the body may walk while performing these exercises.

Here, since the holding rod grasped by the user is made of a lightweight soft material, even if the holding rod hits the body of the user during exercise, it may cause a bruise or a fracture. In addition, since it can be easily held, it does not burden the arm muscles only. Further, since the balance disc maintains a weight balance suitable for performing continuous rotary motion (spiral motion), continuous rotary motion (spiral motion) can be effectively performed. Therefore, by using the exercise assisting device of the present invention, it is possible to easily and safely perform a whole body exercise capable of improving the functional balance and exercise capacity of the whole body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, this exercise assisting device has a holding rod 1 made of a lightweight soft material, and balance disks 2 are detachably attached to both ends of the holding rod 1.

The holding rod 1 is made of a lightweight soft material so that the user will not be injured even if it hits the user's body during exercise. Here, examples of the lightweight soft material include glass fiber, carbon fiber, aluminum pipe, wood, rattan, and bamboo. All of these materials are lighter and softer than iron, which is a material for forming a bar of a conventional barbell, and meet the above-mentioned object.

The total length L of the holding rod 1 is given by the following equation (1): (height of user (width of mounting portion of balance disc × 2) -3 cm) ≦ L ≦ (height of user (balance disc It is preferable that the width of the mounting part of the product x 2) + 3 cm) is within the range of (1). As shown in FIG. 2, the length when the user extends his arms horizontally or the length of the user It is particularly preferable that the height is equal to the height. This is because, if the total length L of the holding rod 1 is such a length, the user can rotate the exercise assisting device comfortably and safely on the front, rear, left, right, and up and down of the body.

The diameter of the holding rod 1 is at least equal to the thickness of the circle formed by the thumb and middle finger of the user. Holding rod 1
If the diameter is smaller than the thickness of the circle formed by the thumb and middle finger, the effect of improving grip strength cannot be expected and it is difficult to grasp and the usability deteriorates.

Since the holding bar 1 does not have to withstand a heavy weight as much as a bar in a conventional barbell, it may have a structure in which, for example, a plurality of divided bars are spliced to a predetermined length. Alternatively, the structure may be such that it can be fixed in a state of being adjusted to a predetermined length by a ring screw or the like. With such a structure, it is easy to carry and it is possible to use an optimal length for each user.

The balance disc 2 mainly has a function or action for keeping the weight balance of the exercise assisting device within an appropriate range for the whole body exercise, and is detachably attached to both ends of the holding rod 1.

In consideration of safety, the material for forming the balance disk 2 is basically made of a soft material such as urethane foam or sponge, and may contain a weight such as water or iron inside. Is usually several 10 g to several 1
It is about 0 kg.

A ring screw 3 is used as a fixture for detachably mounting the balance disc 2 on the holding rod 1. Therefore, a thread is formed at both ends of the holding rod 1, and a disc locking edge 4 for holding the balance disc 2 at a predetermined position is formed. The weight of the ring screw 3 is usually about several 100 g.

Further, the diameter D and the width W of the balance disk are expressed by the following equations (2) and (3); (length of ulna of user-3 cm) ≤D≤ (length of ulna of user + 3 cm). (2) (width of user's wrist-1 cm) ≤ W ≤ (width of user's wrist +1 cm) ... (3) It is preferable to satisfy the following condition, and as shown in FIG. It is particularly preferred that it is equivalent to the length of the ulna. Further, it is preferable that the mounting interval of the balance disc is equal to the height of the user. If the diameter D of the balance disk is within the range of the above formula (2) and the mounting interval is equal to the height of the user, when the user rotates the exercise assisting device in front of the body, An excellent weight balance that is easy to detect, and has less risk of the balance disc 2 hitting the user's face, and that is effective for efficiently performing a rotational movement effective for improving the functional balance of the whole body and the exercise capacity. Is realized. The diameter D of the balance disc was calculated from the fact that the length of the ulna is ergonomically preferable as the size of the device to be handled in contact with the body.

The exercise using the exercise assisting device is mainly a rotary exercise. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 11, the holding rod 1 may be held with both hands or one hand, and the exercise assisting device may be continuously rotated or spirally moved. Stretching the lower half of the body and walking are also effective. It is also possible to use this exercise aid to perform stretching exercises similar to conventional exercises using a barbell. In that case, since this exercise aid is lightweight, only some muscles are It does not cause excessive strain on the muscles, and thus does not cause hypertrophy of some muscles.

[0021]

As described above, since the exercise assisting device of the present invention is configured to safely and effectively perform continuous rotary motion (spiral motion), telescopic motion and walking motion, the present invention can be applied to the present invention. According to this, it is possible to provide an exercise assisting device that can be suitably used for a whole body exercise capable of improving the function balance and exercise capacity of the whole body.
