Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Background of the invention of climbing simulation method and device Various forms of exercise training such as swimming, jogging, cycling and rowing are available. It is widespread. Another thing that is rapidly gaining popularity is climbing. Ru. In fact, climbing has significant advantages over the athletic training listed above. for example In the case of climbing, the limbs primarily used for training cover a relatively wide range of motion. It is used as As a result, the energy consumption of the whole body becomes even greater.

Furthermore, climbing activities involve a balance element. For this reason, through exercise training The antagonist (anti-gravity) and stabilizer muscle groups in the upper and lower body are more active. forced to play a role.

It shall not be subjected to any degree of impact force. In other words, no injuries may occur due to overuse. Ranu. Rhythmic movement characteristics with controlled step speeds can help in this regard. stand. When jogging, energy is transmitted from the ground through the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower spine. There are numerous negative characteristics due to vibrational effects caused by Substantiated by medical and physiological data. Jogging enthusiasts are Flat feet, ankle sprains, shin inflammation, knee pain, calcaneus protrusion, lumbar protrusion pain, and Suffering pain in the lower spine.

The person who pauses during climbing activities uses a metronome or rhythmic sound. It requires continuous, coordinated movement, so unless intentional, it can be extremely difficult. It is difficult.

Due to the relatively large vertical movements of the body that inherently occur in this activity, the present invention The intensity level of exercise training performed on the device is generally higher than that of other modalities; A high overall point value is provided.

In the case of a bicycle, the user is supported on the seat, reducing the use of the arms. others This reduces the person's energy consumption. According to research estimates, cycling In the case of running, the amount of oxygen intake required is about 14% compared to foot running because the anti-gravity work is less. %low. For climbing, all with a pliers height of about 25 cm (10 inches) major muscle groups and use a step rate of greater than 25 steps per minute.

Swimming involves a buoyancy factor and therefore energy expenditure is low. 25 minutes When climbing for a long time, most people can't swim for another 25 minutes, so For humans, it costs more energy than swimming. Also, climbing is about legs. muscles, a process not seen in swimming.

As already mentioned, climbing has significant advantages over other forms of athletic training. However, it is not necessarily convenient for anyone to be able to perform climbing training. It has a serious drawback in that it is difficult to use.

Summary of the invention The purpose of the present invention is to enable users to easily and suitably simulate climbing. The goal is to obtain equipment that can.

Another object of the invention is to obtain a device for partial simulation of climbing. That's true.
