Description

Technique ___

The technical solution relates to a dynamic-directional device intended for exercise, especially when standing and moving.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Insufficient physical activity and the resulting increased static loading of the musculoskeletal system of the human body leads to various health problems such as e.g. muscle weakness, muscle pain and the like. The problem of insufficient physical activity and its consequences leads to the creation of various rehabilitation, relaxation and preventive aids to induce increased physical activity. It goes eg. o devices based on the principle of maintaining the balance of the human body on an unstable surface. Regular use of such pads to balance the human body leads to increased forced physical activity and thereby to improve the holding ^{t ela,} strengthens híWcového svafctva.

Úžhkový model CZ 29865 Ul opľuje ^Mr. Odo ^YC in the ^{dynamic-é-way} session which achieve desired positioning of the body while achieving routing formed muscle activity in the relevant parts of the human body. The pad for dynamic-directional seating according to CZ 29865 U1 comprises at least two inflatable chambers placed one above the other or side by side and connected by at least one discharge opening.

Ďatej ^account of Zn ^and Me e.g. abnčn ^b ^ ^s to e, the ^d ztóme entitled "The axis ^{p 'p p} odl'a Atentu US2008064579 to the inflatable flexible bladder dome forming a fixed base. There are a number of exercises on this and similar balancing aids for beginners and advanced, which strengthen the muscles of the entire human body. The basic exercises include getting in and out of the device, squats and lunges on a solid base. The disadvantage is that such devices are relatively large (with a base diameter of 50 to 80 cm) and difficult to carry (weight is from 5.3 to 8 kg).

The solution according to CZ 10502 U1 describes a two-chamber dynamically unstable pad, consisting of two cushions filled with a gas with a through hole, which is intended for both sitting and standing and for prevention and rehabilitation.

For some sports, balance is particularly important. These include skiing, skating, ball games, gymnastics. Efforts to create a tool for athletes to gain better coordination of movement by training balance, while strengthening muscle groups that are more heavily loaded in certain types of sport in conjunction with active aerobic training are reflected in several patent publications.

The SK 5716 U V solution is a balancing exercise tool made by a roller with a convex surface and a flat first contact surface. The Balance Exercise Tool is equipped with at least one fastener for attachment to the practitioner's leg. The tool allows both rehabilitation exercises and fitness training, eg. aerobics. The disadvantage of such a solution is that it is full, entirely made of hardened rubber, which has a given elasticity that cannot be influenced, and thus it is practically impossible to change the intensity of the exercise or the direction of the load.

Similar solution is represented by CN205626918 (U), which is a training balancing device for taekwondo. Another publication CN202146543 (U) discloses a dual-chamber air cushion, a pedal intended for home rehabilitation and foot relaxation. In the example of this disclosure, the device is comprised of two horizontally arranged cushions interconnected by one interconnecting element. Exercise on such a device consists of stepping on the spot.

US2012258841A1 discloses a booster device consisting of two separate air-filled, single-chamber cushions operating on the principle of equilibrium. Exercises consist mainly of performing squats with or without weights, at the same time it is possible to use pillows as a pad under the hands and to perform classical handles on them.

The purpose of this technical solution is to create a lightweight, storable and portable dynamic-directional exercise aid, which uses the principle of maintaining balance on an unstable surface during posture and walking to activate the muscles of the human body and thereby actively and energetically of the desired muscles of the human body.

The essence of the technical solution

The task is solved by a dynamic-directional aid for exercise, especially when standing and moving, in particular for strengthening the muscles and the internal stabilization system of the human body according to this technical solution, which consists in containing an inflatable mat whose ground shape contains the back concave side and front side. An upper pad having an inflatable portion and an inflatable portion is sealed to the inflatable pad. The non-inflatable part is so-called. the foot portion and its shape and size is adapted to accommodate the foot and is located in the central portion of the upper pad from the back of the upper pad along the central axis toward the front of the upper pad.

Preferably, the inflatable pad comprises at least two chambers, one of which is a lower chamber and one is an upper chamber. The chambers are arranged one above the other, secured to each other and connected by at least one discharge opening.

The shape of the dynamo-directional device, its dimensions, the number of inflatable pad chambers and their shape, the number and location of the leakage holes, the shape of the upper washer and the intensity of inflation of the individual parts of the dynamo-directional device influence activity during exercise. muscles and allow to regulate the intensity of the load and also direct the load to the desired muscles of the human body.

Advantageously, the front side of the top pad comprises a protrusion arranged in the center of the front side. It is also preferred that the front side of the upper chamber of the inflatable mat and / or the front side of the lower chamber of the inflatable mat also includes a protrusion arranged in the center of the front side. In a preferred embodiment, the protrusion on the upper pad and / or the protrusion on the upper and / or lower chamber of the inflatable pad may have a concave curvature.

In the event that any chamber of the inflatable pad has no protrusion on the front, the front wall may be concave.

Such a shape of the dynamic directional device is advantageous in that it provides support for the necessary parts of the foot, thereby causing the activity of the muscles of the human body and directed activity to the desired muscles.

Advantageously, the overflow openings connecting the lower chamber and the upper chamber of the inflatable pad are three, the first through opening being arranged on a central line extending between the concave side faces, at the front of their plan shape and at the same time with the ground plan. away from her. The second orifice and the third orifice are arranged symmetrically with respect to the central line at the back and at a distance from the central line and at a distance from the rear. By using three air vents, the air flows into the upper chamber better, which results in greater dynamics, and the welds also connect the two chambers to ensure the correct dynamics and the desired direction of muscle work under load.

The lower and upper chambers of the inflatable pad have at least one common air valve relative to the leak openings, but may also comprise separate inflatable valves. The upper washer has a separate air valve. This makes it possible to quickly and easily change the inflation rate of individual parts and make it easier to store the dynamic directional device.

The upper pad may be attached to the inflatable pad in the non-inflatable portion, the so-called inflatable pad. The non-inflatable part can be separated from the inflatable part in the upper pad by the weld as well as by the weld.

The dynamic-directional device is made of a flexible, rigid and airtight material that ensures a load-bearing capacity of at least 300 kg.

Two separate dyno-directional aids are required for the exercise, with no difference between the right and left aids, both being identical to each other. A solution is also possible in which the shape of the right and left dynamic-directional devices is different. The difference is in the upper pad and can also be in the inflatable pad, which in the right version follows the shape of the right foot and in the left version follows the shape of the left foot.

Before the exercise, the athlete inflates the inflatable part of the dynamic-directional device intended for the athlete's foot using an air pump or mouth, and both devices must be inflated approximately equally. The air pressure of the inflated parts of the dynamic directional device depends on the physical fitness of the trainee. Changing the body's center of gravity changes the load into selected muscle parts that are forced to subconsciously balance the body's stability. At the same time, the entire musculoskeletal system is activated. The more inflated the inflated parts, the greater the distance between the trainer's foot and the ground and the greater the dynamic-directional moment acting on the trainer's deep muscles, making exercise more demanding and efficient.

The force of inflating all inflatable parts of the dynamic directional device determines the intensity of the exercise using this device. For beginners, it is suitable to inflate the dynamic-directional device to a thickness of 5 cm and for advanced up to 20 cm.

The front portion of the upper pad may include a fastener for gripping the exerciser's foot. The fastening element may be a resilient, elastic tape, predominantly of rubber, which may be welded to the edge of the foot portion of the upper pad.

The fastening element may also be textile tapes, elastic tapes, elastic cuffs, Velcro tapes, belt buckles or various combinations thereof.

For a beginner, only standing on the inflated pump of the ico-directional device is recommended as the first exercise. Over time, it may start to trample and eventually make various movements, e.g. transfer weight from one leg to another and then walk. More advanced exercisers can perform a single-point exercise using a dynamic-directional device, e.g. squats, squats with weights, lunges, it is also possible to perform exercise in motion, eg. running, aerobics, dancing. After attaching dynamic-directional devices to the legs of the trainee, it is possible to perform walking, running, jumping, practicing aerobics, playing tennis and so on.
