Description

The claimed invention relates to the field of training devices, namely to the design of sports equipment and can be used to perform gymnastic exercises with the ability to train various muscle groups.

In connection with the increased attention to a healthy lifestyle and the development of individual sports programs, the development of universal simulators for conducting autonomous exercises with training the muscles of the motors and muscles of the stabilizers is of wide interest.

There are known developments of domestic and foreign authors in this area, aimed at using suspension systems made of ropes and belts with various kinds of grips and attachments. Suspension training is based on the use of your own body weight to develop strength, flexibility and elasticity of tendons.

In particular, a technical solution is known, consisting of two ropes suspended from the ceiling or any other horizontal support, with support handles fixed at the ends [Athletic sports for boys: a repository of graceful recreations for youth, NY, Dick & Fitzgerald, Publishers, 1866, p. 44-48.]. Under the pressure of his own weight, the trainee performs exercises in a suspended state with support on his hands - pull-ups, lifts, overturns. Such simulators have a number of disadvantages associated with limited functionality. In particular, there is no possibility of training the muscles of the lower extremities and relieving muscle tension of the musculoskeletal system.

A large number of advanced technical solutions for suspended training are also known, in particular, TRX loops [https://www.trxtraining.com/]. The simulator consists of 3 rigid Y-shaped connected lines, fixed by the end of one of the lines on a horizontal surface, and the other two lines end with handles and leg loops. The disadvantage of this device is the lack of the possibility of training the vestibular apparatus, the development of coordination and balance due to the lack of imitation of an unstable balancing support surface. Also, there is no protection of the practitioner from spreading arms or legs to the sides, because the slings have great freedom of horizontal movement.

The closest technical solution is a transformable simulator for functional training [RF patent for invention №2409405, IPC А63В 23/00, publ. 01/20/2011], providing improved usability and safety of use. The simulator contains two loops with handles, a cord and a roller, a second roller, two slings, at least two carabiners, a tiblock and a spacer bar. In this case, each support loop from the side of the handle is equipped with a second load and third limiting loop, and the other end of the support loop is loop-shaped for engaging with a carabiner. The design disadvantages of the above simulator include limited functionality, which determines the lack of the possibility of simultaneous multi-vector workout of the belt of the upper and lower extremities, as well as the muscles of the core, the inability to train the neck muscles, the options for training various types of grip are limited.

As a disadvantage of the device under consideration, it is also worth noting its limited mobility and versatility due to the lack of the possibility of operation in field conditions, since the simulator has a single attachment point on a horizontal surface with a limited height.

The task of the proposed technical solution is to create a design of a multifunctional sling trainer, which provides effective training of various muscle groups of the human body for users with different levels of physical fitness.

The technical result is aimed at a comprehensive study of the girdle of the upper and lower extremities, training the muscles of the motors and muscles of the stabilizers while maintaining constructive simplicity, mobility and ease of use. Thanks to the new technical solution, it is possible to target the muscles of the neck and develop different types of grip. Relieving stress from the musculoskeletal system, expanding the possibilities of developing flexibility is also a priority task of the new technical solution. Improvement of such characteristics as compactness and mobility solves the problem of spatial and territorial limitations of training. A wide range of transformations creates conditions for stable progress in the development of coordination, balance and training of the vestibular apparatus, ensuring the active inclusion of stabilizers in the work of muscles.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the multifunctional sling trainer contains horizontally located support (pressing) slings stretched between two vertical supports (walls, pillars, etc.) through a set of rope-connectors, carabiners and chain-type slings. Pressing lines have pockets for fastening functional elements that expand the functionality of the simulator: crossbars, handles, foot holders, toe braces. Chain-type slings are used to attach the simulator to the supporting surface and adjust the degree of tension of the press lines.

The main differences from the closest technical solution are that the supporting elements of the simulator for the trainee are press straps, which provide, both in conjunction with additional attachments, and independently, the conditions for performing exercises on an unstable supporting surface. At the same time, the load on various muscle groups is regulated by the choice of the supporting surface for the arms and legs: upper and lower press lines, additional attachments, floor.

In general, the proposed structure is easy to manufacture and has a reliable connection of all elements with great transformation capabilities (degree of tension, choice of type and location of supporting elements).

The proposed technical solution is illustrated by drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the basic assembly of the simulator (top view), without additional attachments.

FIG. 2 - basic assembly with crossbars.

FIG. 3 is the basic assembly of the lower press strap machine.

FIG. 4 - additional attachments - support handle-loop.

FIG. 5 - additional attachments - pin retainer.

FIG. 6 - additional attachments - foot holder.

The multifunctional sling trainer contains two horizontal parallel stretched woven belts 1 (press slings) with fastening loops 2 sewn at both ends, which are connected by carabiners with extension cords 3, which, in turn, are fastened with carabiners to chain-type slings. the opposite ends of the chain-type slings are fixed at the support points 6 by an easily removable nodal connection or rigidly using anchor bolts.

Pressing lines 1 are woven tapes coated with a non-slip composition (for example, rubber) with loops 7 in the form of a double tape with transverse stitching for attaching additional attachments using carabiners or directly into the eyelets of the loops. Pressing lines 1 are designed to work with the muscles of the arms in the upper position of the body, the lower lines 9 have a greater length and are used to support the legs or work, incl. with the muscles of the arms in the lower position of the body. The slings can be used both together and separately, depending on the tasks of the trainee.

The extension cords of the lines 3 are made of woven material, equipped with sewn-in fastening loops at the ends (two-loop design). They are used to increase the length of the press lines from the place of grip with hands or support with legs to the point of attachment to the chain-type sling. Also, an increase in the length of the simulator structure may be required if the distance between the attachment points of the simulator to the vertical supporting surfaces is greater than the total calculated length of the complete press and chain-type slings. The use of extension cords helps to reduce the total length of structurally more complex press lines and reduce the cost of the simulator.

As attachments expanding the functionality of the simulator, cross bars 8 can be installed, which serve to simulate exercises on gymnastic bars (with paired installation) or perform the function of crossbars with an unstable support (with paired or single installation).

Installation of support handles-loops (Fig. 4), finger retainers (Fig. 5), and foot retainers (Fig. 6) is carried out in the loops of 7 press straps using carabiners. The use of this attachment allows you to train various types of grip and support for the arms and legs.

The claimed device operates as follows.

Depending on the physiological characteristics and the target muscle group, the trainee chooses the number of points of support for the main elements or suspension equipment of the simulator.

1. Exercises in which the trainee uses 1 sling and the floor as points of support:

- Starting position: standing on the floor on two legs perpendicular to the machine, hands resting on the press line. The trainee takes the plank position and performs push-ups (flexion and extension in the shoulder joints).

- Starting position: standing on the floor on one leg perpendicular to the machine, hands resting on the press line. The trainee takes the "plank" position and performs simultaneously push-ups (options for setting hands can alternate) and abduction-adduction of 1 leg.

- Starting position: hands are on the floor, legs rest on the press line. The trainee performs push-ups.

2. Exercises in which 2 press lines and the floor are used as points of support.

Starting position: standing on the floor between the lines parallel to the simulator. The trainee rests on the parallel lines with his hands, abducts the lines in different directions and returns to the starting position.

3. Exercises in which only 2 press lines of the simulator are used as points of support (without support on the floor).

Starting position: standing on the floor parallel to the machine between the stretched press lines. The palms are resting on the slings, the arms are bent at the elbows. The trainee pushes off the floor with his feet and, straightening his arms, brings the body to a position similar to an emphasis on the uneven bars. In this position, flexion-extension in the elbow joints, abduction-adduction of the arms in the shoulder joints, static retention are performed.

Exercises using overhead equipment are carried out as follows.

1. Support handles-loops (2 pcs.) - are used as additional equipment with attachment to the press straps to perform stops and hangs, power traction.

Option 1. Starting position: the trainee is located parallel to the simulator, wraps his palms around the crossbars of the handles, rests his legs on the press straps. The body assumes a plank position. Push-ups and static hold are performed from this position.

Option 2. Starting position: standing on the floor in the center of the machine between parallel-stretched press lines. The palms are wrapped around the crossbeams of the handles, the arms are bent at the elbows. A push is carried out with the legs from the floor and an exit to a suspended body position in the air with an emphasis on the hands. In this position, you can perform push-ups, static hold, dynamic abduction-adduction of the arms in the shoulder joints, twisting the body, lifting the legs.

Option 3. Starting position: standing on the floor parallel to the simulator. Two handles are fixed on the straps. The trainee grasps the crossbars of the handles with his palms and takes several steps forward from the attachment points, bringing the sling into a state of tension. Body position - with your back to the attachment points, support with your feet on the floor, hands squeeze the handles, imparting an impulse with a pulling movement forward and towards the center of the simulator. Thus, the trainee creates static tension in the muscles of the arms and core.

2. Finger restraints - used to perform strength exercises to strengthen the tendons.

Starting position: standing on the floor. The latches are attached to the press straps with carabiners, the fingers of each hand are secured in the latches. The trainee alternately bends his arms at the elbows with the transfer of body weight from one leg to the other, performing a line pull from side to side.

3. Foot holder - equipment designed for performing exercises of increased complexity in conditions of suspended unstable leg support.

Starting position: lying on your stomach. The foot holders are fixed with carabiners on the press straps, the feet are fixed in the foot holders at a certain distance from the floor, the support loop handles are also fixed with carabiners on the press straps at a distance equal to the trainee's height. Through push-ups from the floor, the body is transferred to the state of support on the knees, then the hands rest on the hanging handles, after which the body takes the "plank" position. From this position, a horizontal squat is performed with an emphasis on the loop handles and foot holders.

Thus, the variability of the load for the trainee is achieved, since the suspended movable structure actively includes the stabilizing muscles in the work, creates conditions for strengthening the tendons and developing balance. This result is achieved due to the mobility of both the basic structure and in combination with additional attachments.
