Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weight loss method for an overweight person (hereinafter referred to as "obese") and a device therefor.

More specifically, low-intensity aerobic exercise is used in which muscles that are not used frequently are exercised by swinging the whole body in a bilaterally symmetrical direction around the waist, that is, in the lateral direction of the "S" shape. The present invention relates to a weight loss method for an overweight person who loses weight of an obese person and a device therefor.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, obesity refers to a state in which fat is excessively stored and accumulated under the skin, where energy intake exceeds energy consumption and excess energy is consumed as body fat, such as subcutaneous. It shows the current state of abnormal increase in body weight caused by accumulation in tissues. Therefore, obesity cannot be accurately determined only by weight alone, but fatness (% Fat) determines whether or not obesity is possible. It indicates that the body fat percentage is expressed as a percentage of body weight, and the body weight excluding body fat is called lean body mass.

[0004] The above-mentioned body fat percentage is more than 20% for boys,
Women are obese when more than 30% are obese. The types of obesity are classified into infant type and adult type. In infant type obesity, the number of fat cells is abnormally proliferated and the distribution of fat is systemic. Adult-type obesity is characterized by a characteristic that is larger than the number of fat cells and the distribution of adipose tissue is mainly concentrated in the abdomen and hips and thighs.

[0005] As described above, obesity is caused by various factors such as eating habits, lack of exercise, psychological factors, and genetic factors, but is simply caused by an imbalance between energy intake and consumption.
1 g of pure fat generates 9.4 kcal of energy, but actually removing 1 g of adipose tissue requires about 7.7 cal of energy. This is because body fat tissue contains water and definite tissue. Therefore adipose tissue
To reduce 1g requires an additional 7,700kcal of energy. However, such energy expenditure is not always equal to weight loss, and here various factors are acting in combination, such as problems with water balance, changes in basal metabolic rate, and the heat effect of nutrient intake. And environmental temperature.

[0006] Exercise stimulates appetite and offsets the effects of weight loss or body fat loss, which are only a few special cases.
Rather, energy expenditure through exercise generally outweighs additional energy intake based on appetite promotion.Weight loss through exercise decreases body fat mass while increasing to maintain lean body mass Has advantages.

[0007] On the other hand, when only dietary restriction is carried out, at the beginning of dietary restriction, most of weight loss is due to water loss,
Loss of lean body mass occurs with body fat. Therefore, in order to maintain the effect of weight loss and to improve the human circulatory system and metabolic function through weight loss, weight loss through exercise is much better. Proper exercise intensity for weight loss is that it is beneficial to continuously perform light exercise of about 40 to 65% of the maximum oxygen intake. That is, this type of exercise is the most inexpensive for energy consumption, and the percentage of fat that can be used as an energy source due to low intensity continuous exercise increases.

[0008] When making the above-mentioned weight loss exercise plan, a target weight is first determined, and an overall required period for reaching a target at an appropriate weight loss rate is calculated. Based on this, we will determine the energy expenditure achieved by exercising in one day. As described above, it is necessary to perform effective aerobic exercise to eliminate obesity and reduce body fat. In general, aerobic exercise is an exercise in which energy metabolism during exercise is mainly performed by the oxic energy system.To understand the characteristics of aerobic exercise simply and clearly, it is necessary to recall the following example. is there. (Example: The American College of Sports Medicine recommends sustaining exercise for 15-60 minutes at 40-85% intensity of maximal oxygen consumption to enhance cardiopulmonary fitness.)

On the other hand, in order to perform safe exercise while conforming to the metabolic characteristics of aerobic exercise, it is most desirable that the exercise is performed in a rhythmic and symmetrical manner. On the other hand, the symmetrical movement promotes the uniform development of the body, while the movement of the movement deviates to any one side, resulting in the malformation of the body. Also, explosive and extreme movements can often lead to maladaptation of the body, whereas rhythmic movements are beneficial in preventing movement.

That is, aerobic exercise is low in intensity and should last for a long time, and its movement is rhythmic and is said to be the best aerobic exercise consisting of bilateral symmetry. Exercise form, intensity, time and frequency must first be properly selected to be a reasonable aerobic exercise, and gradual overload is required to guide successful adaptation to the training phase This is very important. In order to devise this more concretely, it is divided into the following stages.

(1) Exercise Forms People have many questions about what form of exercise is most effective for maintaining health. Some say jogging is best, and others claim that swimming is best. Mountain climbing and skiing are gaining in popularity these days, and there are many people participating in cycling and aerobik. Scholars have also compared and studied the many effects of these forms of exercise. However, no evidence could be found superior to any particular event. After all, regardless of location and time, exercise that is simple and efficient is said to be the best.

(2) Exercise Intensity The most difficult problem in aerobic exercise is to determine an appropriate exercise intensity. Intensity is the factor that has the greatest effect on the exercise effect. If the exercise intensity is too weak or strong, the desired exercise effect cannot be expected.

[0013] Therefore, the individuality that people with weak physical strength must be able to exercise with relatively low intensity and people with strong physical strength with higher intensity should be respected. However, too high an intensity can result in anaerobic exercise, and overexertion requires the risk of side effects and the need to last longer.

Therefore, in order to maximize the exercise effect,
There is an urgent need to find the strength of safety and sufficient overload levels.

According to the American Society of Sports Medicine, exercise intensity for improving cardiopulmonary function is 60 to 70 times the maximum oxygen consumption of an individual.
% Is appropriate, and if the exercise capacity is low, people who are exercising for the first time should exercise at an intensity of 40 to 60% of the maximum oxygen consumption, and can increase the intensity to 70 to 85%.

(3) Exercise Time and Exercise The American Society of Sports Medicine recommends that the main exercise time be 15 to 60 minutes, except for preparatory exercises and rearrangement exercises. In the initial stage, exercise time is about 20 to 30 minutes. Is recommended.

Thus, it is the total exercise that has a decisive effect on the exercise effect. Therefore, when determining the exercise time by engaging in exercise intensity, the total amount of exercise must be taken into account.

That is, if the exercise intensity is high when a certain amount of exercise is satisfied, the exercise time must be reduced, and if the exercise intensity is decreased, the exercise time must be extended. For example, obese people are better off taking low intensity and a long time when exercising to lose weight.

(4) Exercise frequency The problem of exercise frequency mainly as to how many exercises
Exercise that involves exercising with the weight burden of the individual's health and physical fitness level, for example, walking, running, etc., exerts an excessive burden on joints when exercising every other day rather than exercising three consecutive days from the initial stage of exercise. In particular, when the exercise frequency is set to five or more times a week, it is desirable to alternately perform the exercise with the weight burden and the exercise without the weight burden.

Also, no matter how often you exercise, it is better to take a rest at least once a week, and it is better for people with relatively weak physical strength to do the exercises several times a day.

As described above, it is said that aerobic exercise is effective for improving the health and weight loss of adults and also for preventing adult diseases, so that much attention has been paid to the effects of aerobic exercise. I have.

[0022]

According to the present invention, the aerobic exercise is performed in a general exercise form, that is, an exercise having jogging, swimming, mountain climbing, or any other sport form performed at a person's will, regardless of place and time. The main purpose is to provide a weight loss device that is easy to do, lay down, and easy to do at home, not the law, and has the rhythmic and symmetrical character of this weight loss device It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for losing weight of an obese person as a low-intensity aerobic exercise.

[0023]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a weight loss device comprising a pair of waist supports and leg supports, which is easily laid down while supporting the waist and legs. When the lower body is moved rightward by sliding the leg support left and right, the upper body is symmetrical with the lower body, leftward,
Conversely, when the lower body is moved to the left, the upper body is moved to the right, that is, the form of exercise can be symmetrical about the waist, and the movement of the movement must be rhythmic, In other words, as the goldfish swims underwater, the whole body swings in the lateral direction of the "S" shape to exercise muscles that are not used frequently, not only to increase basal energy metabolism, but also to reduce muscle weakness and internal organ damage. To reduce only fat by preventing and sustained aerobic supply,
In addition, insulin secretion is suppressed by decreasing the amount of glucose in fat cells that increases, thereby preventing fat accumulation and decomposing previously overlapping fat.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a weight loss device according to the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a weight loss device 1 having a leg support 2 and a waist support 3. The leg support 2 is separated into an upper frame 4 and a lower frame 4 ′. On the lower frame 4 ', a plate 6 to which the connecting connector is wired is mounted, and a bracket 8 for fixing the electric motor 7 is mounted on the plate 6 again.
, An operation link 10 is connected to the interlocking link 11, and roller running grooves 12,
A roller 14 is rotatably mounted on a slider 13 which moves left and right from the upper frame 4 so as to be rotatable. One of the guide slots 15 penetrates the guide slot 15 and is connected and fixed to the bottom of the slider 13 so that the support sheet 16 can be attached to and detached from the slider 13.

The waist support 3 is formed of a base frame and provided on both sides with roller running grooves 17, 17 'on which the rollers 14' of the slider 13 roll, and a guide groove hole is formed at the center of the top surface of the base frame. The guide web 1 provided in the center of the bottom of the slider 13 ′ is formed in the guide slot 18.
9, and the upper support sheet 16 'of the slider 13' is detachably attached.

In the drawings, the operation and effect of the weight loss device of the present invention, which is an unexplained portion, is an operation switch 20, and the connecting plug 21 is a connecting plug, will be described as follows.

First, the connection plug 21 of the leg support 2 is inserted into an outlet (not shown), and both sides are placed on the support sheet 16 of the leg support 2 slider 13. When the operation switch 20 is actuated after the supporter 3 is laid down on its hips and the operation switch 20 is operated, the operation link 10 is rotated by 360 ° by the driving of the internal electric motor 7 of the leg supporter 2 and is connected thereto. While the interlocking link 11 is bent and operated in a crank manner, the interlocking link 11
The slider 13 connected and fixed to the nohashi moves left and right along one of the guide slots 15.

At this time, it is necessary to make the roller 14 of the slider 13 smoother and smoother than the lateral movement of the slider 13 by making the rollers 14 of the slider 13 on both sides of the roller running grooves 12,
When the slider 13 of the leg support 2 moves left and right, the leg placed on the support sheet 16 of the slider 13 moves left and right while rolling to 12 ′. The upper body placed on the support sheet 16 'of the support 3 slider 13' is simply a center guide at the bottom of the slider 13 'which penetrates the guide groove 18 at the center of the support 3 of the waist without additional power. Web 19
Move left and right along the guide slot 18. Also in this case, to make the left-right movement operation safer and smoother, the roller 14 ′ of the slider 13 ′ operates smoothly while rolling in the roller running grooves 17, 17 ′ on both sides of the waist support. .

More specifically, when the slider 13 of the leg support 2 is driven by the electric motor 7, the slider 13 ′ of the hip support 3 is moved without additional power. When the leg placed on the slider 13 of the leg support 2 is moved rightward, the waist placed on the slider 13 ′ of the hip support 3 is moved. If it moves to the left and the legs move to the left, the hips move to the right. That is, the whole body swings in the lateral direction of the "S" shape, that is, in the left-right symmetric direction, like a goldfish moving in water.

As described above, the low-intensity aerobic exercise using the weight-loss device of the present invention is performed by exercising the least exercise part of the body movement, thereby reducing the muscles that are not frequently used. Stimulation can make difficult exercises impossible at home easy and easy at home, and a sufficient exercise effect can be obtained within a short time.

In addition, since it is a whole-body exercise in which the whole body is swung in the left-right symmetric direction around the waist, that is, the whole body is swung in the "S" -shaped lateral direction, it stimulates the abdomen to enhance the inflating function and eliminate constipation. It facilitates blood circulation, and both reduce fat by continuous aerobic supply. In addition, the amount of glucose that can be increased in fat cells is reduced, insulin secretion is suppressed, fat accumulation is prevented, and fat accumulated beforehand is broken down, which has the effect of eliminating obesity related to body fat loss It is.

In the following, it is said that low-intensity aerobic exercise is effective for weight loss when using the weight-loss device of the present invention for continuous exercise. The embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, the research result report is data of a clinical experiment in which many women used the weight loss device developed by the applicant for 12 weeks and performed aerobic exercise with low intensity.
By investigating the effects of low intensity aerobic exercise on the body composition and changes in blood lipid components in women for about 12 weeks using the device, low-intensity aerobic exercise using the device of the present invention can reduce the weight of women. Its purpose is to examine whether it is effective in weight loss and adult disease prevention.

As can be seen from the results of the weight loss examples of the present invention as described above, body tissue is composed of fat and body fat tissue, and body fat tissue is composed of muscle, skeletal fluid and organs. Adipose tissue is composed of essential fat, which is indispensable for basic physiological functions, and stored fat, which plays a role in preventing impact and cold from the outside.

Therefore, the appropriate level is 10-14% for male body fat and 20-24% for female body fat. It is known that in women, fat is distributed more around the breast and half bones than in boys in connection with the regulation of female hormones and pregnancy.

In view of the above, if the level of body fat exceeds 25% for boys and 30% for girls, it is determined that the subject is obese. In developed countries like the United States and Europe,
Obesity has been a social problem for a long time. Even in Japan, the incidence of obesity patients is not exactly known, but overweight and obesity are on the rise.

At present, there are various methods of taking medicine for preventing and treating obesity, surgical treatment for partially resecting or suturing the stomach, fat removal, diet and exercise, and the like. I have. In particular, many studies have been conducted on the effects of exercise on body composition, and previous studies have shown that active people have lower body fat than sedentary people. 26 living in Koto Ward who participated in this example
Among the female subjects, the average age was 33.65 ± 8.87 years, the body weight was 61.47 ± 11.0 kg, the fat was 29.24 ± 3.47%, and 2 or more, and 25 to 29% were 13 with body fat of 24% or more. , 30
% Or more were observed in 11 persons.

[0062] Such a result is found in the thirties and forties.
A study of the body composition of 58 healthy women showed that the average weight was 56-58 kg and the body fat was 29.06-30.7.
8% showed what was seen and different results.

After aerobic exercise using the weight loss device of the present invention over a period of 12 weeks, the subjects weighed 61.47 ± 59.79 ± 10.47 kg each prior to exercise, significantly reducing the weight of the subjects. Although absent (P> 0.05), aerobic exercise had a positive effect on weight control, averaging about 1.68 kg after 12 weeks of exercise than before exercise.

First, the energy consumption of the weight-loss device of the present invention was measured (Table 2). When exercising was continued for 30 minutes a day, about 5,400 Kcal of heat was consumed for 12 weeks. Considering that approximately 7,000 Kcal of energy is consumed to reduce 1 kg of body fat, it is expected that the subjects who participated in this example would lose approximately 1 kg in weight after 12 weeks. In addition, it was recognized that there was a slightly higher weight loss than expected. In the case of the subject's body fat, 29.24 ± 3.47% before exercise and 4 weeks and 8 weeks after exercise On week 12, a significant decrease was observed at 29.17 ± 4.88% (P> 0.05), indicating that aerobic exercise was effective in reducing body fat.

On the other hand, it was recognized that there was no significant difference in waist and hip circumference after aerobic exercise using the weight loss device of the present invention for 12 weeks (P> 0.05). However, 12
After a week, the subject's hips, buttocks and left and right thighs were 1.
The reduction of 93 cm, 1 cm, 2.6 cm, and 3.27 cm indicated that aerobic exercise had a positive effect on changes in body composition. In conclusion, low-intensity aerobic exercise using the weight-loss device of the present invention has a positive effect on weight loss and changes in waist, hips, and thigh circumference, and a significant decrease in body fat is observed. Therefore, it is determined that it is effective in preventing obesity in women.

The flexibility is estimated based on the movable range of the joint. To smooth the movement of the human body, appropriate flexibility must be maintained. The waist and thighs. Insufficient flexibility in these areas is likely to cause chronic back pain, so increased flexibility may be an important factor in preventive medicine for adult health. It is known that those who exercise sustainably have higher flexibility than those who live sedentary life.

For example, as a result of conducting a flexibility test on 136 boys over the age of 10 to 60, the 30s showed 14.4.
I recorded the maximum value in cm, and in my 40s, 50s and 60s
It decreased at 13.5cm, 13.0cm and 11.1cm respectively. Average age 40
For housewives in their teens, subjects (19.8 cm) who participated in continuous aerobic exercise were found to be more flexible than the control group (14.8 cm). In general, stretching is used as an exercise method to increase flexibility.
Stretching methods are divided into dynamic stretching and static stretching.

While both methods are known to be effective in improving flexibility, dynamic forms of stretching are subject to high loads as the muscles stretch, causing damage to muscle fibers and joint sites. Due to fears, a number of static forms of stretching are recommended.

The weight loss device of the present invention can be used at a rate of about 38 to 56
As a device that can be vibrated as many times as possible and can obtain a dynamic form of stretching effect, it is possible to achieve safety and flexibility from the upper body induced by the dynamic stretching form of aerobic exercise for 12 weeks. Measurements of improvement revealed that none of the subjects complained of lower back or other joint pain due to exercise.

The first record was from 15.63 ± 6.1 cm for 4 weeks, 8
Week and 12 week flexibility is 21.99 ± 6.5cm, 21.70 ± 7.6c
m showed a significant increase (P <0.05), indicating that aerobic exercise using the device of the present invention was effective in improving flexibility for women.

In conclusion, high levels of blood lipids and lipoproteins are known to be quite closely related to coronary artery disease. Cholesterol is a kind of lipid, and the cholesterol level of ordinary people is about 150-250 mg / dl, and the cholesterol level of arteriosclerosis and diabetes patients is 300 mg / d.
1 or more. Conversely, in the case of hemolytic yellow dan or anemia patients, the dose may be 50 mg / dl or less.

In general, cholesterol is a high density lipoprotein
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) -cholesterol and low density lipoprotein Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
DL-C acts protectively against arteriosclerosis, and LDL-C acts to accumulate cholesterol in cells and blood vessels, causing arteriosclerosis.

It is known that the value of the blood lipid component changes depending on the age, weight, diet, female hormones and the degree of exercise, and cholesterol and LDL-C increase with age. Overweight and obese women are said to have higher triglycerides and LDL-C than normal weight women, and the difference in cholesterol levels due to age differences before menopause is small, but after menopause, LD
It is known that the amount of LC increases greatly, and it has been found to be due to a decrease in female hormones due to menopause.

Thus, while studies on changes in lipid components due to aerobic exercise continue to be controversial, according to many previous studies, aerobic exercise increases the reduction of triglycerides, cholesterol and LDL-C. And is known to be affected by frequency and duration.

In the examples of the present invention, low-intensity aerobic exercise using the weight-loss device of the present invention was performed for 12 weeks, and as a result, neutral fat, cholesterol and LDL-C were obtained.
Was not found to be significantly reduced.

However, the neutral fat is 105.5 mg / dl to 81.85 m
g / dl, cholesterol from 176.89mg / dl to 164.18mg
reduced to / dl. In addition, since LDL-C decreased from 99.09 mg / dl to 88.02 mg / dl at 8 weeks, aerobic exercise using a low-intensity aerobic exercise device was positive for improvement of blood lipid components. It was found to be effective. One interesting fact from this example is that HDL-C shows a significant decrease, so that aerobic exercise generally reduces HDL-C in men.
It turned out to be inconsistent with the results of previous studies where C increased.

However, in the case of women, HDL-
The increase in C was smaller than that in males, and it was recognized that HDL-C did not change or decreased rather when weight loss was actively progressing.

In low intensity aerobic exercise, HDL-
C was not found to change, and HDL-C
In order to achieve the increase, you must increase the exercise intensity or extend the period.

In conclusion, low-intensity aerobic exercise using weight loss according to the present invention for 12 weeks is effective in maintaining body health and preventing adult diseases by reducing body fat and increasing flexibility. Although it is recognized and there is no significant difference in the case of blood fat component, it shows an overall decrease effect, and aerobic exercise with the weight loss device of the present invention can also obtain the effect of improving blood lipid component become.
