Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a system used in an active recreation center for quantifying physical fitness, and more particularly, to a system that determines a user's age based on his physical strength. The proposed system (1) includes various types of exercise routes, which may contain some entertaining (game) elements that stimulate the user to perform various exercises, and (2) allows you to determine how long the user can perform exercises, and based on the data obtained, calculate age of the user, corresponding to his physical strength, and evaluate in which types of athletic activity the user performs well and in which badly.

State of the art

Typically, equipment used in outdoor centers is designed for young people who have appropriate physical fitness and adequate muscle strength. For older people or children, such equipment is unsuitable. In this regard, at one time, a device was proposed that measures health-related factors and allows all family members, including the elderly, to perform a moderate exercise in the form of a performance during which all participants can experience pleasure (see the posted JP applications 2001-29503 and JP 2004-278150). Using this device, you can measure the time spent by each family member to complete a certain set of exercises, and the interest of the participants is that by comparing the corresponding individual time periods, they can determine who is the strongest in the family. However, such a device is unsuitable for determining the age of the user based on his physical strength.

When determining the age of a student (for example, a student of primary, incomplete secondary or high school) on the basis of his physical strength, it is required that he perform simple exercises of a repeating nature, the conduct of which is quantified as follows: the instantaneous effort is measured by the distance the student overcomes from a place by a long jump , the gripping force is measured using a manual dynamometer, mobility is estimated by the number of jumps in the transverse direction, which the student manages to complete in a certain segment belts, flexibility - by the number of times a student can lean forward while sitting on the floor with his legs stretched out in front of him, endurance is measured by the number of sit-ups that the student manages to complete in a certain period of time, the balance is estimated by the time during which he can stand on one leg with eyes open, etc. In measurements of this kind, in order to evaluate age based on physical strength, the user is forced to perform simple exercises of a repetitive nature. Therefore, when they are performed 1) the user does not get enough pleasure, 2) the user does not have to perform complex muscle actions, 3) the user does not need to work with muscles that he usually does not use, and 4) only the basic physical capabilities of the user are determined, but not complex physical parameters, such as memory, mindfulness, and other brain functions. In accordance with this approach, the user is prompted to perform a long series of various exercises and evaluate his age corresponding to physical strength by measuring the execution time of this series and comparing the result with previously known data. However, this method, using a long series of exercises, does not allow one to evaluate in which types of athletic activity the user performs well and in which badly.

Disclosure of invention

Tasks Solved by the Invention

The present invention addresses the problems listed above. One of the problems solved by the invention is to develop a system designed to determine the age of the user (both male and female) based on his physical strength, and this system should 1) include several routes of various exercises that may contain some game elements, and 2) provide an opportunity to evaluate how long the user fully performs each route and the entire series of routes in order to calculate its potential based on the user's physical strength grow and determine how well or how poorly the user performs each exercise.

Means for solving these problems

The system of the present invention is designed to determine the age corresponding to physical strength, and consists of several exercise routes, and various types of devices / parts associated with the exercises are used in these routes. Routes are designed in such a way that:

the user uses various physical capabilities, including the strength of the muscles of many parts of his body, as well as body properties such as flexibility, balance and mobility,

the degree to which the user uses each of his various physical abilities is used as a numerical indicator of the volume of the exercise performed, and the combination of the values of these indicators for each route of exercises differs from the corresponding combination for each of the other routes,

the user's age corresponding to physical strength is calculated based on the time that the user spends to complete all exercise routes, and

each of the user's various physical abilities is evaluated based on the time that the user spends to complete each exercise route.

It is preferable to draw up specific exercises within each route in such a way that the user has to memorize their sequence and specific features, as well as draw conclusions regarding the choice of posture or route during each exercise. Thus, one of the indicators is intelligence.

Preferably, one exercise route (hereinafter referred to as “exercise route 1”) is equipped with:

a passage in which a plurality of sites having flat upper faces are set horizontally or diagonally at predetermined heights above the ground (floor), and

a structure located in the middle of the aisle and having a low ceiling, forcing the user to switch from a straightened pose to a bent pose, a squatting pose or a pose on all fours.

Preferably, the other exercise route (hereinafter referred to as “exercise route 2”) is a winding, ascending passage. This passage has a predetermined width and length and is provided with a plurality of protrusions or recesses. This forces the user to avoid one or more of the following body movements when walking around obstacles: climbing up and jumping, jumping, crawling up and running down, and climbing with folding obstacles.

Preferably, the third exercise route (hereinafter referred to as the “3 exercise route”) consists of a passage that for the most part of its length is two separate walking surfaces (hereinafter referred to as “pedestrian surfaces”), each such surface being for one leg user and has a predetermined width, height and length, and the passage is arranged so that in some parts of it one pedestrian surface is located above the other.

In this case, the passage has one or more sections in which two pedestrian surfaces are separated from each other (section / sections with separated pedestrian surfaces), and one or more sections in which both pedestrian surfaces converge into one (section / sections with combined pedestrian surfaces ) In addition, the section (s) with separated pedestrian surfaces contains / contains one or more sections in which the user can or is forced to move with legs wide apart, one or more sections in which two pedestrian surfaces are at different heights, and one or more sections in which two pedestrian surfaces are located at the same height.

Preferably, the fourth exercise route (hereinafter referred to as the “4 exercise route”) consists of one passage having a predetermined width, height and length, and constructed so that the passage

winding all over and

contains a section on which the pedestrian surface goes up and down, a section on which it is horizontal, a section on which it is inclined to one side, and a section on which the indicated surface is inclined in both directions, and the border between these two sides runs in the middle pedestrian surface.

Preferably, the fifth exercise route (hereinafter referred to as the "exercise route 5") consists of a winding passage of a given length, divided along the axis by the wall, the wall

provided with many holes in which the user can insert his hands to support his body, and

has an approximately vertical portion, an inclined portion, and a portion that is curved on both sides.

It is preferable that the sixth exercise route (hereinafter referred to as the “exercise route 6”) consist of a passage in the form of a tunnel, along the entire length of which pipes with the shape of an inverted letter U are placed at the same time.

have different heights, i.e. the passage has a section on which the user can walk straight, a section on which the user has to bend down to move forward, and a section on which the user must sit down to move forward, and

tilted right or left, i.e. the passage has one or more sections in which the user has to bend to the right or left to move forward.

Preferably, the seventh exercise route (hereinafter referred to as the "exercise route 7") is a passage of a given length, designed so that it curls up / down and to the right / left. In this passage is equipped

metal bushings mounted on rails with the possibility of sliding forward and backward, and

interconnected sets of suspended rings attached to metal bushings.

It is preferable to place these exercise routes in a long domed structure constructed of polystyrene foam.

The technical results achieved by the invention

The system of the present invention, designed to determine the age of the user based on his physical strength, covers:

devices and devices of various types associated with exercises and made in such a way that the user can demonstrate a variety of physical capabilities, including the strength of the muscles located in different parts of his body, as well as flexibility, balance and mobility of the body;

a method by which a numerical indicator of the amount of exercise performed by the user is measured, with a determination of the duration of the demonstration of each of the user's physical abilities;

exercise routes, in each of which an individual set of exercises is combined, i.e. each route has its own value of a numerical indicator that differs from the indicators of other routes, and

the use of various and different types of devices / parts related to exercises in order to implement various exercise routes.

As a result, it becomes possible to evaluate, on a scale of good / bad, the user's abilities with respect to various exercises using calculations based on the length of time spent by the user on the full implementation of each exercise route. Summing up these data on all routes, it is possible to determine the final age of the user based on the obtained value of physical strength.

In calculating the user's age on the basis of his physical strength, brain functions such as memory and the ability to draw conclusions are also taken into account, since exercise routes are designed in such a way that intelligence is included in the list of numerical indicators, and the corresponding indicator exceeds the value of any other indicator.

On route 1 of the exercises, the user walks through the sites described above, and in order to resist falling from them, he must use his sense of balance. In addition, the user needs to use the leg muscles, such as the quadriceps, and the muscles of the lower leg, as well as the muscles of the abdomen. The flexibility of the body is also in demand. In addition to this, the user must use his ability to quickly decide, taking into account his physical strength, which pose is most suitable for a given movement. Numerical indicators representing mobility or strength of the hand muscles can be given small values, since in this route of 1 exercise, they mainly assess a) the strength of the leg muscles and b) the flexibility of the body.

On the route of 2 exercises, the user climbs the slope on which obstacles are set. Therefore, the value of the numerical indicator for the strength of the leg muscles can be made large. The values of the corresponding indicators for balance, mobility and flexibility should also be set large. In addition, it is necessary for the user to be able to assess the situation and decide whether to choose a bypass route on which there are no obstacles, despite the increased time costs, or go straight ahead, climbing over large obstacles, even if he, having chosen this path, can stumble or hesitate several times. If the user remembers that behind the first obstacle that he has crossed, pits are lurking, and then he is careful, he will know that invisible pits can also be located behind subsequent obstacles, and thus can easily avoid them. And since the user also uses hand power to overcome obstacles, the corresponding numerical indicator can be set at an average level.

In the route of 3 exercises, two pedestrian surfaces are used, and it is required that the user walk with legs apart. Therefore, in such a situation, the strength of the leg muscles is in demand, although the ability to flexibility, mobility and balance is also required. The user moves forward by moving the legs on the surfaces while walking in such a way that they rotate using intra-thigh muscles, such as the tailor muscle and adductor muscles (usually these muscles are not involved). In addition, it is believed that such an exercise is effective in preventing incontinence. Since it is difficult for a person to maintain a standing position with legs apart for a long time, he has to maintain a fast step mode. Therefore, the numerical indicator for mobility can be made large.

On the route of 4 exercises, the user has to go along a narrow passage having a given width, height and length. Since the structure is formed so that the configuration of the pedestrian surface changes from place to place, a numerical indicator for the balance of the body along with other indicators, such as leg muscle strength and flexibility, can be made large.

On the route of 5 exercises, the user has to walk along a narrow passage along the wall, and in order to keep his body from falling from the passage, he needs to use his hands. This is especially true for the place where said wall is tilted or bent towards the user. In accordance with this situation, the numerical indicator for the strength of the hand muscles can be made large. The above also applies to numerical indicators for flexibility and balance of the body.

On the route of 6 exercises, the user has to go through a tunnel formed by pipes in the form of an inverted letter U, and some sections of this tunnel have a slope to the left or to the right. In this case, you can make a large numerical indicator for flexibility.

Route 7 of the exercises is a passage designed so that the user moves forward, using his brushes to capture the interconnected sets of suspended rings. In those places where the guide is far from the user, the specified route also allows for tensile exercises, during which the user has to stretch his arms. Thus, numerical values for flexibility and strength of the hand muscles can be set high.

Since there are no columns (pillars) in the proposed long domed structure, there is nothing for each individual route located here that could limit its content or any characteristic features. And since the indicated structure can be additionally extended, it is possible to adapt it even for a route that is very long in its spatial extent. In addition, since this structure is weather independent, the utilization rate of the proposed exercise routes is not limited by weather conditions and thus can be very high.

The implementation of the invention

The system of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows the location of the exercise routes according to one embodiment of the system of the present invention, designed to determine the age of the user based on his physical strength. The specified system is installed in the form of equipment for outdoor use. However, all proposed exercise routes can also be placed inside a structure with a roof, or inside a building. As shown in diagram 20 illustrating the location of routes, such an embodiment of the system includes 12 routes and 12 stages, respectively (the number of each stage is circled). Each route is planned so that the user can demonstrate a variety of physical abilities. The user goes through a series of routes, while performing body movements such as exercises with the calculation of the time taken to complete the specified series. The number of routes is not limited to 12, and the route program can be changed depending on the type and number of measured physical capabilities.

Each route has its own name. Route (7) (step 1) is called “Suspended Extension Rings”. In the specified route, it is required that the user walks by stretching out his hands and holding in each of them an interconnected set of suspended rings. Route (8) (step 2) is called the Pipeline "; in this case, the user has to go through a congestion of pipes. Route (9) (step 3) is called" Air Forest "and requires the user to push through large rubber balls when moving forward. Route (1) (step 4) is called the “Chain of sites”; it requires the user to walk along the sites keeping balance. Route (2) (step 5) is called “Desperate climbing”; the user needs to climb the slope in it with many obstacles. Ma the cable (4) (step 6) is called the “Bending Road”, here the user walks along a narrow path. Route (10) (step 7) is called the “Corridor of Mirrors” and requires the user to climb the staircase in the form of a labyrinth. (11) (step 8) is called the "Reaching Road", and on this road the user needs to follow the pipe path holding the railing. Route (12) (step 9) is called the "Suspension Bridge of Courage", here the user is required cross the suspension bridge. Route (3) (step 10) is called the “Divided Path”, i.e. here, while walking, the user's legs are mutually spaced. Route (5) (step 11) is called the “Wall of Stagnation”; in this case, the user should walk sideways, holding on to the wall. Route (6) (step 12) is called the "Cave of Bones" and requires the user to move through the tunnel in the "folded" position.

In the shortened embodiment of the system, route 1 is the “Chain of sites” (1), route 2 is “Desperate Climbing” (2), route 3 is “Separated Path” (3), route 4 is “Bending Road” (4), route 5 - “Wall of stagnation” (5), route 6 - “Cave of bones” (6), and route 7 - “Suspended extension rings” (7). The listed routes in their main features will be described later. The duration of the complete execution of one route by the user ranges from several tens of seconds to several minutes. However, the exercise equipment is designed so that the user can complete each route in approximately one minute. Therefore, in the event that 12 routes are completed in total, the user can complete the entire series in approximately 12 minutes, and taking into account the time from one route to another, in approximately 30 minutes. Performing exercises within such routes allows you to evaluate the endurance of the user. In addition, each route is planned in such a way that the user has to exercise instantaneous strength of his muscles, which is no less important than endurance.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for applying a system for determining a user's age based on his physical strength. As can be seen from the drawing, first the user registers (step S20) in the service center a statement about participation in the age determination system based on physical strength. He then measures his blood pressure and pulse rate. Next, the user tilts forward while on the platform or on the floor to determine and then register (step S21) on the participant’s card (in a notebook) the distance by which his fingertips do not reach the toes or, conversely, fall below the toes. After that, the physical state of the user is checked (step S22). For example, a user who, as a result of the check (step S23), reveals high blood pressure or poor physical condition, is advised (step S24) to refrain from exercising on this route.

Next, each user receives a stopwatch and heart rate counter. After that, he goes through each route and writes on the participant’s card mentioned above how much time it took him to complete each route. In addition, at the beginning and end of each route, the user records his heart rate. Another feature of the heart rate monitor is that it helps ensure that the user does not have excessive participation in the exercises. When the user reaches the end of a series of routes, he again measures his blood pressure, heart rate, as well as the above distance when leaning forward and writes this data on the participant’s card. At this point, the user can determine that completing the 30-minute series of exercise routes has improved his ability to lean forward. In addition, by comparing the initial and final heart rate, the user is given the opportunity to decide that the exercises completed are enough for him. After the user writes down his real age in the participant’s card and presents it to the service point, the specified card is analyzed, the user's age is calculated on the basis of his physical strength and then a certificate is printed, which is given to the user. The user also receives information about his good or bad physical data.

A system for calculating the age of a user based on his physical strength can be created using, for example, a personal computer. At the same time, data about previous users is stored in the computer, and the statistical relationship between the time it takes for the user to complete all the routes and the real age of the user is adjusted every time he completes a series of routes. After the time spent by the user on each complete route enters the system, the age is calculated based on physical strength based on these statistics.

The age corresponding to physical strength is calculated taking into account the time that the user spent on a complete series of routes. However, it can also be calculated by the time spent by the user on any single complete route. In any case, the value of age based on physical strength is stored in the system. Examples of data on the "Stagnation Wall" (5) (route 5 exercises) in stage 11 and on the "Cave of Bones" (6) (route 6 exercises) in stage 12 are presented in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Age is classified by 10- summer groups, but the classification period can be reduced. The form of these tables is also suitable for tables representing the user's age, determined by his physical strength, but calculated taking into account the time required to complete the entire series of routes.

Table 1 Completion time Physical Strength Age one 32 s 10-19 2 36 s 20-29 3 41 s 30-39 four 53 s 40-49 5 62 s 50-59 6 70 s 60-69 7 75 s 70-79 8 82 s 80 and older table 2 Completion time Physical Strength Age one 15 s 10-19 2 16 s 20-29 3 21 s 30-39 four 28 s 40-49 5 32 s 50-59 6 36 s 60-69 7 40 s 70-79 8 45 s 80 and older

In this embodiment, the following five physical parameters prevail: leg strength, arm strength (from the hand to the shoulder), body flexibility, body balance, and body mobility. In addition, six numeric indicators are used, corresponding to the five listed parameters with the addition of intelligence. Thus, among the muscles of various parts of the body, the strength of the hand and foot muscles is selected for evaluation. However, this embodiment is not limited to evaluating the strength of the arms and legs, it can also analyze the strength of the muscles in the hands, stomach, and other parts of the body. Moreover, you can limit your attention to one important muscle in a specific area of the legs. So, with respect to leg strength, one can focus either on the muscle, which dominates endurance, or on the muscle, which is most important during short periods of tension of muscle effort. The volume of exercise is used as the level to which the muscle under study exerts its strength, and the exercise routes are planned so that different routes require different exercise volumes. In the case when the body has to be analyzed in more detail in order to decide which specific muscle (which specific muscles) should be evaluated in terms of muscle strength, an increased number of routes will have to be carried out to analyze the strength of each selected muscle, although this will complicate all equipment for exercises.

Usually, muscle strength increases with their use. During exercise, they become thick and hard, but lose elasticity. Therefore, when assessing muscle strength, one should also take into account the characteristics of muscles that are ambiguous in terms of the relationship between their thickness / hardness and elasticity. In addition, intellectual factors, such as memory, mindfulness, and the ability to draw conclusions that are considered to deteriorate with age, are added as a numeric indicator. For example, the physical capabilities of the user, including the functions of his brain, can be estimated by forcing the user to choose which route is shorter, or by installing a device with a door that opens after dialing a certain multi-digit number, which the user must remember and dial. If the volume of brain activity is equated to the volume of exercise, the ability to draw conclusions can be regarded as the equivalent of exercise. If someone has shown excellent ability to draw conclusions (i.e., little time has been taken to resolve the issue), it is considered as speed. In the case of low ability to conclude (when it took a lot of time to resolve the issue), it is considered as slowness.

In this embodiment of the invention, for each type of exercise route, the following parameters are selected as their measurement score:

physical data (i.e. strength of arms and legs, flexibility and balance of the body) and the degree to which intelligence is manifested. Exercise routes are designed so that they all have varying numbers. The volume of the exercise corresponds to a specific workload, for example, for legs it is 10 swings with the foot up and down. If the indicated exercise volume is denoted by a numeric indicator 10, an indicator of 5 for the legs means half the exercise volume with an indicator of 10. If this exercise volume is divided by an indicator of leg muscle strength, the time required to complete such an amount can be determined. The indicated dependence can be expressed by the equation W / F = t, where W is the volume of exercise, F is an indicator of muscle strength, and t is the time spent on this volume of exercise. If the ratio 1 / F is designated as "x", the above equation takes the form W · x = t.

If a user has to perform an exercise in volume W with a time t measured at the time of completion of the exercise, it is possible to calculate the coefficient x, the inverse of muscle strength. Moreover, if the route of exercises requires that the user performs only one simple exercise, it may not contain any entertaining or interesting elements. On the other hand, when the exercise route is planned to force the user to perform three different exercises (for example, exercises for the legs, arms and abdomen), the number of types of muscles to be evaluated increases. Accordingly, the number of coefficients inverse to muscle strength, i.e. defined variables, increases to three (x1, x2 and x3). In this case, the time t1 at the time of completion of such an exercise route can be expressed by the equation W1 · x1 + W2 · x2 + W3 · x3 = t1. If only one exercise route is completed, the values x1, x2 and x3 cannot be determined. Thus, for determining three variables, for example, three exercise paths can be envisaged. In this case, the routes are so that the volumes W of exercises included in different routes differ from each other. By measuring the time intervals t1, t2, and t3 spent on the complete execution of three routes, we obtain the following system of three equations: W11 · x1 + W12 · x2 + W13 · x3 = t1, W21 · x1 + W22 · x2 + W23 · x3 = t2 and W31 x1 + W32 x2 + W33 x3 = t3. Such a system of joint linear equations makes it possible to determine the quantities x1, x2, and x3.

Table 3 shows the numbers of exercises performed on routes 1–7 (“Chain of sites” (1), “Desperate climbing” (2), “Separated path” (3), “Curving road” (4) in the form of numerical indicators “Wall of Stagnation” (5), “Cave of Bones” (6) and “Suspended Stretch Rings” (7)). As can be seen from Table 3, the combination of indicators (for leg strength, arm strength, flexibility, balance, mobility and intelligence) is designed so that it is specific for each route. Different types of exercises and different conditions of the routes are planned so that each physical parameter can be estimated by measuring the time spent on each route. The first route ("Suspended Extension Rings") also serves as a warming route that relaxes the muscles of the body. In the variant containing 12 routes, each of them uses different devices / parts related to exercises, or different conditions for exercises, and the number of different physical parameters for which differentiation is provided is theoretically equal to 12.

Of the 12 routes of the age determination system based on physical strength, the exercise routes shown in Table 3 will be described in more detail below. In Fig. 3, a side view shows the route (1) “Chain of sites”. As can be seen from the drawing, this route is a passage 30 (see also FIG. 4), in which a plurality of platforms 31 with a flat upper surface are installed on the supporting posts 32 horizontally or diagonally at predetermined heights from the ground. In the middle of the aisle 30, a beam 33 hangs from the ceiling, limiting the height for the user. Therefore, to move forward, he has to change his posture from a standing (straightened) position to a bent position with an inclination at the waist, a position in a squat with bent legs or a position on all fours. If the user cannot quickly decide which position to take, the time required to complete the route is lengthened. In figure 4, the route (1) "Chain of sites" is presented in cross section. Since the upper surface of the pad 31 is narrow, the user 15 is forced to maintain balance along the way forward. If he loses his balance and falls off site 31, the time required to complete the route is lengthened accordingly.

Figure 5 in longitudinal section presents the route (2) "Desperate climbing." As can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, this route is a winding passage 40 with a rise, and the passage has a predetermined width and length. In the passage 40, designed for climbing, there are obstacles 41-43 having various shapes, as well as a recess 44. The user climbs onto the obstacle 41 and jumps from it. Then he crawls onto obstacle 42 and jumps down from it. After that, the user jumps over the recess 44 and the obstacle 43. As an alternative, he can choose the option of overcoming the passage 40 with avoiding obstacles and / or the recess, although in this case the time required to complete the route may be extended. In Fig.6 route (2) "Desperate climbing" is presented in a perspective image. Obstacles 41-43 are located along the aisle. If the user is not sure that he can overcome the climb directly, he is given the opportunity to move up the aisle, dodging right or left.

In Fig.7 in a perspective image shows the equipment for exercise route (3) "Separated path". The specified route consists of a passage 50, which for most of its length is divided into two pedestrian surfaces 51, 52, one for the corresponding leg of the user. Each of the surfaces 51, 52 has a predetermined width, length and height arrangement and may have a raised middle portion inclined in both directions. Thus, in the passage 50 there is a section in which the passage is divided into two pedestrian surfaces 51, 52, as well as a section where these surfaces converge into one. The user passes the area with divided surfaces, legs apart. On Fig in cross section shows the height location of two pedestrian surfaces on this route (3). In particular, on figa presents a plot on which two pedestrian surfaces converge into one; Fig. 8B illustrates a section divided into two pedestrian surfaces, and Fig. 8C shows a section with a large distance between two pedestrian surfaces. The upper sides of the pedestrian surfaces may have a raised middle part and an inclination in both directions. This is done in order to make it difficult for the user to quickly pass on only one surface 51 or 52 instead of the option of passing on both surfaces with legs apart. 8D, 8E, 8F illustrate for two pedestrian surfaces possible options for the distances between them and the location in height. Such configurations of pedestrian surfaces are correlated with an exercise requiring the user to frequently move the center of gravity of the body from one side to the other.

Figure 9 in a perspective image shows the route (4) "Bending Road". The specified route consists of one winding passage 60 with an undivided pedestrian surface having a predetermined width, length and height location, and its height change along the length of the passage. 10, a passage 60 is shown in cross section. It has a section (see figa) with a horizontal pedestrian surface, sections on which these surfaces are tilted in different directions (see fig.10B and 10C), and a plot (see fig.10D), on which the pedestrian surface is tilted on both sides, separated by an axial line of passage.

Figure 11 in a perspective image shows the route (5) "Wall of stagnation." The specified route consists of a winding passage 70 having a predetermined length and a wall 71 located in its middle. The wall 71 divides the passage into two tracks, and there are many holes 72 in which the user can stick his hands in to support his body. 12, said route is shown in cross section. Wall 71 has an approximately vertical portion shown in FIG. 12A, a curved portion shown in FIG. 12B, and an inclined portion shown in FIG. 12C. Therefore, to move forward, the user has to stick his hands into the holes 72, thus supporting his body so as not to fall off the track, and this requires the efforts of the hand muscles. In addition to the above, the pedestrian surface of the passage can be tilted.

On Fig in a perspective image shows the route (6) "Cave of bones." It consists of a passage 80 in the form of a tunnel, along the entire length of which pipes 81 are arranged at predetermined intervals, having the shape of an inverted letter U, and these pipes form arcs of different heights. 14, passage 80 is shown in four cross sections. It has a section on which the user can go straight (see Fig.14A), sections (see Fig.14B and (4C), on which he has to bend to the right or left to move forward (since pipes 81 are inclined), , where the user must sit on his heels or crouch to move forward (see fig.14D), as well as the area (not shown) where the user has to go stooping to move forward.

On Fig in a perspective image shows the route (7) "Suspended extension rings". On this route, 1) a passage 90 of a given length is used, 2) two guides 91, 92, twisting up and down, as well as left and right, 3) a lot of metal bushings 93, 94 mounted on guides and sliding forward and backward, and 4 ) two interconnected sets of 95, 96 suspended rings attached respectively to the metal bushings 93, 94 and performing the function of a complex expander, i.e. stretching and contracting like an accordion. On Fig shows options for the positions of the hands of the user 15 depending on the positions of the guides 91, 92. In the variants of Figs. 15A and 15B, one of the user's hands is raised up, in the embodiment of Fig. 15C, both hands are extended downward with a horizontal deviation, and in the embodiment of FIG. 15D, both arms are raised with a horizontal deviation. The rings are designed in such a way that other positions of the user's hands are possible.

On Fig in a top view shows the location of the routes of exercises, concentrated in a long domed structure 100. In Fig.18, the inner space of the specified structure is shown in longitudinal section. As can be seen from the drawings, the structure 100 consists of front and rear sections corresponding to the hemispherical halves of the dome, and an intermediate section consisting of many arches 130 between the specified front and rear sections. In addition, at the front and rear sections, the structure 100 has an entrance (start point) 110 and an exit (final point) 120, respectively. The length of the domed structure 100 can be increased by adding an additional number of arches 130. In addition, if there are a large number of routes , for their placement it is possible to combine several such structures into one.

It is preferable to build the specified structure from expanded polystyrene. In this embodiment, it has the advantage of ease of assembly, with a long service life and low cost construction. In addition, in this long domed structure, it is possible to design many overhead windows and glazed bay windows, i.e. the interior of the structure will be well lit and create a sense of spaciousness for users. As an example, the following structures are located inside building 100: the “Ladder” (97), which has various slopes, the “Pipeline” (8), in which a large number of pipes bent in the form of a gate are assembled together, “The access road” (11 ), where users extend their arms to grab handrails placed on the ceiling and pedestrian side walkways in a narrow aisle, the "Cave of Bones" (6), in which users move forward, passing through curved tunnels, and "Desperate Climbing" (2) where users climb up the hill, oh equipped with many obstacles.
