Description

The invention relates to the field of creating sports simulators and can be used in sports of the highest achievements for the formation and / or improvement of the running technique for athletes specializing in short-distance running.

It is known to use assistive devices at various stages of long-term training for sprint athletes both for adjusting and improving technical skill, and developing their speed-strength abilities (rubber, which athletes overcome their resistance, harnesses with the weight that they pull, shock absorbers) [one].

However, all of these devices can in no way affect the formation of running techniques for athletes of different ages, often they completely negatively affect the consolidation of technical skills. The spine, being the basis of the athlete’s musculoskeletal system, plays a significant role in the depreciation processes in the performance of motor actions. With high mobility of the vertebrae (the rigidity of the vertebral system is impaired), the runner’s stay on the support increases, the horizontal speed decreases, and the performance decreases prematurely.

In addition, there are no clear requirements for the length of the cords or shock absorbers that are attached to the athlete’s belt, or for the weight of the weights, so it’s not possible to understand exactly what this kind of exercise is aimed at - speed-strength abilities, endurance or running speed. It is also necessary to constantly adjust the cable tension, which cannot be performed without an assistant, and the equipment itself is bulky and inconvenient to transport.

The objective of the invention: to form the correct posture for athletes when running, to increase the strength of the back muscles in various modes of its manifestation due to less tension of the vertebrae, to improve both the running technique and physical qualities and abilities.

The training device consists of a shoulder strap 1, a chest strap 2, the base of the device 3, a rubber shock absorber attached to the shoulder strap and passing through the base of the device to the knee joint 4, a rubber shock absorber attached to the base of the device, knee and ankle joints 5, mounts for the knee joint 6 and ankle strap 7 (figure 1). How it is fixed on the athlete is shown in figure 2. General view of the device shown in figure 3.

The athlete takes a position in which his pelvis is shifted forward relative to the thoracic spine (and in fact the general center of body mass is shifted). In this case, he does not need to artificially increase the distance of the thigh and pelvis forwards and spend more energy on the running step. During running, the mobility of the vertebrae decreases (the stiffness of the vertebral system increases), the strength of the back muscles in various modes increases, and the time spent on the support of the foot decreases, which ultimately allows for a more economical run.

Examples of specific performance. Athlete G., 1st category, sports specialization - 60 m, 100 m and 200 m, trained for more than three years using various kinds of weights (tires, cords, tows, shock absorbers). His results rose slightly. Since 2009, he began to use the inventive device in the training process. Currently, G. has fulfilled the standard of an international-class master of sports, has optimized his distance running technique and has significantly improved the level of his special physical fitness. He is the winner of the World Universiade, the European champion among juniors in the 200m race, the silver medalist of the European Championship among juniors in the 100m race, the champion of Europe among juniors in the 200m race.

In 2009, he became the finalist of the World Championship among adults, the winner of various international competitions in 2010-2012, currently his results: 60 m - 6.64 s., 100 m - 10.08 s, 200 m - 20.00 s.

Julia B. in the 400 m race had a result of 57.20 (candidate for master of sports). After using the inventive device, she fulfilled the standard of a master of sports of international class with a result of 52.40 s. She became the world champion among girls, the champion of Europe among juniors.

Athlete T. with a result in the 100 m run 10.63 s was a master of sports. Using the claimed device, improved it to 10.25 s.

The inventive device is compact, easy to carry, quickly attached to the athlete and does not interfere with him during the rest between exercises. No outside assistance required.

When using this device, hip removal and pelvic displacement are carried out simultaneously and naturally. The thigh is not carried forward immediately at a considerable distance (which is observed in the vast majority of sprinters) and the foot, immediately meeting the support, quickly leaves it. This reduces the time spent on the support and provides a quick reduction of the hips. Correct posture is also formed by strengthening the muscles of the back and intervertebral discs.
