Description

Sports elastic band and its use method

The present invention relates to a sports elastic band for muscle strength exercise, and more particularly to a sports elastic band which is ring-shaped and easy to use, and is also suitable for use by a weak person.

The annular motion elastic band is formed by forming a belt having an appropriate width into a ring shape, which is made of a rubber having elasticity. Since the sports elastic band of the present invention is formed in a ring shape, the user does not need to tie the elastic band in advance when performing the exercise, and thus has the advantage of being convenient to use.

For example, the contents of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 which will be described later can be referred to, for example, in the case of a generally elastic elastic band. The elastic elastic band disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 is attached to the ankle of the two feet for the action of opening or closing the feet, or is held by the hands and then opened on the chest for use. Stretching or retracting your arms. In order to achieve the above-mentioned uses, the characteristics such as the circumference length, thickness and width of the elastic elastic band are limited to a specific range.

However, with Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the conventional elastic elastic band generally has a high pulling strength and a thin thickness. Regarding the thickness portion, the thickness of the elastic elastic band shown in Patent Document 1 is between 0.2 mm and 1.5 mm.

Among them, the high tensile strength of the elastic band is to make the sports elastic band reach the most basic function of exerting load on the muscle. The thickness of the elastic band is so thin that the required stress is ensured in response to the pulling strength.

Moreover, since the application of muscle load is the most basic function of the elastic band, the stretch rate of the elastic band is usually low. Although Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 do not describe the stretch rate of the elastic elastic band, it can be found by observing a commercially available sports elastic band that the stretch rate is about 200% to 300%, and the maximum top is only 400%. about.

According to the above configuration, when the conventional exercise elastic force is pulled, a large load is usually caused, and the heart rate is increased accordingly. Therefore, using this type of athletic stretch brings luck Exercise may cause an excessive increase in heart rate, and thus there is a problem that is not suitable for use by the physically weak.

Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Publication No. S61-080062.

Patent Document 2: Japanese Utility Model Publication No. S63-103658.

In view of the above problems, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an endless elastic elastic band which is suitable for use by a weak person and which does not cause physical discomfort during use.

In order to achieve the above object, a sports elastic belt of the present invention is made of a stretchable synthetic rubber and is fixed to a human body for use. The elastic elastic band is banded and formed into a ring shape. When the elastic band is deformed into a flat shape, the length of the elastic band is greater than the shoulder width and less than the length of the palm, and the stretch rate of the elastic band is between 600. More than % to less than 1600%, and the tensile strength of the elastic band is between 2Mpa and 7Mpa.

The span of arm refers to the length of the middle finger of the left and right hands when the left and right upper limbs are stretched into a horizontal straight line.

With the above configuration, the sports elastic band of the present invention has a high stretch ratio and a low pull strength, and thus has very good elasticity.

Preferably, in one embodiment, the thickness of the elastic band is between 1.5 mm and 3.5 mm, and the stiffness of the elastic band is between 5 and 35 degrees. Since the thickness is sufficient, the sports elastic band is easy to hold and has a sense of weight.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention also provides a method for using a moving elastic band, which surrounds a part of the human body with a moving elastic band, so that after the human body is in a pre-motion posture, the part of the human body surrounding the elastic elastic band is surrounded. It is transformed into a post-exercise posture different from the pre-exercise posture, and then the pre-exercise posture and the post-exercise posture are interactively performed.

In the above-mentioned method of use, since the elasticity of the elastic elastic band is good, the stress generated by the elongation and the load itself can be alleviated, so that the muscles used for the interaction between the pre-exercise posture and the post-exercise posture can be made lighter. The load.

According to the above configuration, the present invention can reduce the load on the muscle through a motion elastic band having a special property which has never been seen before, and thus can perform a motion which does not excessively increase the heart rate. In this way, the physically weak can also smoothly exercise or adjust the physical state of the movement.

Further, since the athletic elastic band of the present invention is annular and convenient to use, the load on the user can be reduced, so that the user can exercise in a calm state, thereby suppressing an increase in heart rate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the related drawings. among them, 1 is a perspective view of the elastic elastic band 11. As shown in Fig. 1, the elastic elastic band 11 is made of a stretchable synthetic rubber. Meanwhile, as shown in Fig. 2, the elastic elastic band 11 has a band shape having a certain width and is formed in a ring shape. Synthetic rubber is made of a rubber having a better elasticity, and among them, ruthenium rubber is most suitable.

As shown by the phantom line of FIG. 1, when the elastic elastic band 11 is deformed into a flat shape, the length of the elastic elastic band 11 when its opposite portions are in contact with each other is greater than the shoulder width of the user and is smaller than the length of the user's palm. . Specifically, when the length of the inner diameter D1 (see (a) of FIG. 3, which is a plan view of the elastic elastic band 11) is set to about 500 mm, the circumferential length of the elastic elastic band 11 is about 1600 mm.

The width W of the elastic elastic band 11 (refer to (b) of FIG. 3, which is a front view of the elastic elastic band 11) is set to a length that can be held by the distal end of the base of the thumb of the palm. Specifically, it can be set at about 50 ± 10 mm.

The thickness of the elastic elastic band 11 is set at about 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm, preferably about 2 mm, so that the elastic elastic band 11 is not too thin and the elasticity is too low, thereby providing better. Use feel and weight. Among them, in the case where the thickness is 2 mm, the circumference is 1600 mm, the width is 50 mm, and ruthenium rubber is used as the forming material, the weight of the elastic elastic band 11 is about 170 g. However, in the present embodiment, the weight of the elastic elastic band 11 may be set within a range of 150 g to 200 g.

Moreover, regarding the mechanical properties of the elastic band 11, the stretch rate of the elastic band 11 is between 600% and 1600%, and the pulling strength of the elastic band 11 is between 2Mpa and 7Mpa, and the elastic force is The hardness of the belt 11 is between 5 and 35 degrees. Among them, the preferred hardness is 15 ± 5 degrees, and the preferred elongation is greater than 900%. Although the pulling strength of the elastic elastic band 11 is low, good elasticity without rupture can be obtained, and the muscle rear load can be alleviated.

In addition, the overall elastic band 11 is colored blue, and the sky blue is preferred.

The sports elastic band 11 having the above-described configuration is used by being fixed to the human body, and the contraction force and the weight of the elastic elastic band 11 are transmitted to lower the load on the muscle when the user moves the body.

The method of exercise can be adapted to the part of the user who wants to exercise or want to adjust, or The appropriate design is made in response to the exercise intensity required by the user. For example, the elastic elastic band 11 can be placed on a movable part such as a foot or an arm, and then the direction in which the elastic elastic band 11 is stretched can be applied, or both ends of the elastic elastic band 11 can be separately held by both hands. The body can be moved, or the elastic band 11 can be placed on the sole of the foot, and the foot of the elastic band 11 can be lifted to perform the foot movement.

Here, the preferred method of motion is to pull the motion elastic band 11 or the hand movement elastic band 11 to repeat the action of the moving body several times instead of only once. In other words, the moving elastic band 11 is first wrapped around a part of the human body, so that after the human body is in a pre-motion posture, the part of the human body surrounding the moving elastic band is transformed into a post-exercise posture different from the pre-exercise posture, and then Then interact with the pre-exercise posture and the post-exercise posture. Since the elastic elastic band 11 has the configuration as described above, the user can perform systemic exercise in accordance with his own needs without excessively increasing the heart rate.

Next, an embodiment of the exercise method will be described, and the exercise load is equivalent to the exercise load brought by walking. At the same time, this method of exercise can be easily and safely implemented by the user while viewing the teaching image.

Deep breathing exercise: As shown in FIG. 4, the pre-exercise posture is a straight back in a state of sitting on the seat 21, and after holding the end portions 12 of the two sides of the elastic elastic band 11 deformed into a flat shape by both hands, The central portion 13 of the elastic elastic band 11 is flattened to the rear of the chest, and the hands are placed on the front sides of the body. At this time, it is not necessary to pull the elastic elastic band 11 with force.

Post-exercise posture is a posture in which a deep breath is taken from the nose. When inhaling, the ribs will expand in the left and right direction, as shown by the imaginary line in Figure 4, when the hands will move slightly outward. After that, when exhaling from the mouth, the human body will return to the same state as the pre-exercise posture.

Thereafter, the above motion is repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times. This stabilizes breathing and relaxes the mood, and mainly moves to the muscles of the chest and abdomen.

Foot movement: As shown in Fig. 5, the pre-exercise posture is in the state of sitting on the seat 21, and a part 14 of the elastic elastic band 11 is placed on the sole of one of the feet, and then the elastic band is pulled by both hands. 11 and raise your foot. Here, the elastic elastic band 11 is placed on the sole of the foot a little more than the front end of the arch, and the knee can be straightened or bent. Since the elastic band 11 will help to prop up the feet, people who cannot lift their feet on their own can also move through the sports bullets. The force belt 11 easily lifts the foot. Further, although the motion elastic band 11 is used in a single layer state as shown in FIG. 5, the motion elastic band 11 may be deformed into a flat shape and used in a two-layer state. In addition, the surrounding position of the moving elastic band 11 can be appropriately selected in accordance with the required load.

The post-exercise posture is a posture in which the foot of the elastic elastic band 11 is tilted to another angle, wherein the angle after the tilt is different from the state of the pre-exercise posture. As shown by the imaginary line of Fig. 5, this posture includes a posture in which the toe is tilted forward or backward, and a posture in which the ankle is turned inward or outward. When the posture is changed from the pre-exercise posture to the post-exercise posture, the elastic elastic band 11 will be elongated to make the load on the foot and the ankle less light.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. In this way, it can move to the muscles such as the quadriceps or gluteus maximus, and mainly to the muscles of the triceps or the tibialis anterior muscle.

Foot stretching motion: As shown in Fig. 7, the pre-exercise posture is in the state of sitting on the seat 21, and a part 14 of the elastic elastic band 11 is placed on the sole of one of the feet, and then the moving elastic force is pulled by both hands. The posture of raising the foot with the belt 11. Here, the elastic elastic band 11 is placed on the sole of the foot a little more than the front end of the arch. As the elastic band 11 will assist the foot support Therefore, a person who cannot lift his or her own foot can easily lift the foot through the elastic elastic band 11. Further, although the motion elastic band 11 is used in a single layer state as shown in FIG. 7, the motion elastic band 11 may be deformed into a flat shape and then used in a two-layer state. In addition, the surrounding position of the moving elastic band 11 can be appropriately selected in accordance with the required load.

As shown by the imaginary line of Fig. 7, the post-exercise posture tilts the toe of the foot of the elastic band 11 toward the body (rear) and pulls the hands toward the body. At this time, the elastic elastic band 11 is in an extended state, and the inclination of the foot is maintained by the contraction force of the elastic elastic band 11, whereby the load on the foot can be made light. Then, maintain this action for an appropriate period of time.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. Thereby, the muscles of the Achilles tendon, the abdominal muscles or the hamstring are mainly stretched.

Stretching of the side of the body: As shown in Fig. 8, the pre-exercise posture is a straight back in a state of sitting on the seat 21, and the end portions 12 of the elastic elastic band 11 which are deformed into a flat shape are held by both hands. After that, raise your arms upright. It is not necessary to pull the elastic band 11 at this time.

As shown by the imaginary line in Fig. 8, the post-exercise posture is a posture in which the portion above the waist is inclined to the left and right while the arms are kept raised. At this time, in addition to the state in which the elastic band 11 can be used to assist in maintaining the arms to be lifted upward, the load on the arms, shoulders, and the body extending from the side can be lightly loaded by the load.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. In this way, the muscles of the broad back muscle or the external oblique muscles can be stretched under the condition that the muscles such as the deltoid muscle, the large pectoral muscle or the trapezius muscle are lightly loaded.

Thigh movement: As shown in Fig. 9, the pre-exercise posture is to place the elastic elastic band 11 on the outer periphery of the thighs in the state of sitting on the seat 21, and hold the upper end of the elastic elastic band 11 with both hands in front of the body. Part 15 pose. At this time, the elastic band 11 is in an extended state. In addition, the elastic elastic band 11 is attached to the back side of the thigh and held by the hands in front of the body. At this time, as long as the holding position or the holding height of the hand elastic band 11 is changed, the muscles can be subjected to the body. The state of the required load.

As shown by the imaginary line in Fig. 9, the post-exercise posture is in the two-handed holding elastic force. In the state of the belt 11, one of the feet or the left and right feet is moved outward in the left-right direction. In addition to moving the left and right feet in sequence, you can also move your feet at the same time. When the posture before the movement is changed to the posture after the movement, the elastic band 11 is in an extended state, so that the load on the thigh and the portion where the thigh is moved can be made light.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. Thereby, it is mainly possible to move to the muscles around the hip joints such as the gluteus maximus or the iliopsoas muscle.

Thigh and arm movement: As shown in Fig. 10, the pre-exercise posture is to place the elastic elastic band 11 on the outer periphery of the thighs in the state of sitting on the seat 21, and hold the elastic elastic band with both hands in front of the body. The posture of the two ends of the upper end portion 15 of 11. At this time, the elastic band 11 is in an extended state. In addition, the elastic elastic band 11 is attached to the back side of the thigh and held by the hands in front of the body. At this time, as long as the holding position or the holding height of the hand elastic band 11 is changed, the muscles can be subjected to the body. The state of the required load.

As shown by the imaginary line of Fig. 10, the post-exercise posture is a posture in which the knees of one of the left and right feet are lifted, and the arm in the opposite direction is raised at the same time as the raised knee. When the pre-exercise posture changes to the post-exercise posture, the elastic elastic band 11 is in an extended state, so that the load on the thigh, the arm, and the portion that moves the thigh and the arm can be lightly loaded.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. In this way, it can mainly move to the muscles around the femoral joints or the thighs such as the gluteus maximus, the iliopsoas, the quadriceps or the biceps, and can also move to the big pectoral muscle, the deltoid muscle, and the oblique muscle. Muscles such as the square muscle, broad back muscle, biceps or triceps.

Back and abdomen movement: As shown in Fig. 11, the pre-exercise posture is in a state of sitting on the seat 21, and the elastic elastic band 11 is wrapped around the outside of the human body so that a part 14 of the elastic elastic band 11 is flatly attached to the back of the human body. After holding both sides of the elastic elastic band 11 with both hands, the hands are extended forward by an appropriate distance. The position in which the two-handed elastic elastic band 11 is held can be appropriately changed depending on the load to be withheld, except that the elastic elastic band 11 is maintained in a state in which tension is applied. Moreover, the position of the elastic elastic band 11 flat on the back is located behind the navel, but in addition, as shown in FIG. 12, it can also be flatbed behind the chest. In order to make the load to be heavy, the flat elastic state, that is, the elastic elastic band 11 in the double-layer state can be used.

As shown by the imaginary line in FIGS. 11 and 12, the post-exercise posture is a posture in which the back elastic posture 11 is held in the state in which the exercise elastic band 11 is held by both hands. When changing from pre-exercise posture In the post-exercise posture, the elastic band 11 is in an extended state, so that the load on the broad back muscle, the abdominal muscles, and the iliopsoas muscle is lighter.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. Thereby, it is mainly possible to move to the muscles of the back or abdomen.

Back, chest and arm movement: As shown in Fig. 13, the pre-exercise posture is in the state of sitting on the seat 21, and the elastic elastic band 11 is wrapped around the outside of the human body to make the part 14 of the elastic elastic band 11 flat on the human body. After the back and holding both sides of the elastic elastic band 11 with both hands, the elbow is bent. The position in which the two-handed elastic elastic band 11 is held can be appropriately changed depending on the load to be withheld, except that the elastic elastic band 11 is maintained in a state in which tension is applied. Moreover, the position of the elastic elastic band 11 flat on the back is located behind the navel, but in addition, it can be placed flat behind the chest. In order to make the load to be heavy, the flat elastic state, that is, the elastic elastic band 11 in the double-layer state can be used.

As shown by the imaginary line of FIG. 13, the post-exercise posture is a posture in which the arms are extended forward in a state where both hands hold the elastic elastic band 11. When the posture before exercise changes to the post-exercise posture, the elastic band 11 is in an extended state, so that the broad back muscle, the trapezius muscle, the deltoid muscle, the chest muscles, the biceps muscles, and the triceps muscles can be endured. The load is lighter.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. Thereby, it is mainly possible to move to the muscles of the chest, back or arms.

Further, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 14, the post-exercise posture may be a posture in which the left arm or the right arm is sequentially extended to the front.

Back and chest movements: As shown in Fig. 15, the posture before the movement is in a state of sitting on the seat 21, and the elastic elastic band 11 is straightened into a flat straight shape, and after holding the end portions 12 with both hands, The posture of the arm is extended in a state where the elastic elastic band 11 is straightened. The "straightened state" described here only needs to make the elastic elastic band 11 linear, and the moving elastic band 11 is pulled and lengthened without applying a force. At this time, in addition to being able to maintain the arms at the same height, the elastic band 11 can also be used to load the muscles with a light load. Here, the holding height of the elastic elastic band 11 does not have to be in front of the chest, and it is also held in front of the abdomen or held in front of the face as shown in FIG.

As shown by the imaginary lines of FIGS. 15 and 16, the post-exercise posture is in a state in which both ends of the elastic elastic band 11 are held by both hands while raising the posture of the both arms. Pre-exercise posture When the posture is changed to the post-exercise posture, the load on the broad back muscle, the trapezius muscle, the deltoid muscle, and the chest muscle can be lightened.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. Thereby, it is mainly possible to move to the muscles of the chest, back or arms.

Rotating motion: The pre-exercise posture is to straighten the elastic elastic band 11 into a flat straight shape while sitting on the seat 21, and after holding the end portions 12 with both hands, straighten the elastic elastic band 11 In the state of stretching the arm in front of the chest. The "straightened state" described here only needs to straighten the elastic elastic band 11 in a straight line, and the moving elastic band 11 is pulled and lengthened without applying a force. At this time, in addition to being able to maintain the arms at the same height, the elastic band 11 can also be used to load the muscles with a light load.

As shown by the solid line and the imaginary line of Fig. 17, the post-exercise posture is a state in which the height of the both arms is maintained and the upper body is twisted toward the left and right sides while holding the both ends of the elastic elastic band 11 with both hands. When changing from the pre-exercise posture to the post-exercise posture, the load on the broad back muscle, the trapezius muscle, the abdominal muscles, the external oblique muscles, the deltoid muscles, and the chest muscles can be lightly applied.

Thereafter, the above movements are repeated in a slow manner for an appropriate number of times in conjunction with the pace of breathing. Thereby, the muscles can be mainly moved to the chest or back.

Next, the effect brought by the elastic band 11 will be explained. Since the elastic elastic band 11 is deformed into a flat shape, the length thereof is greater than the shoulder width. Therefore, in a state where the elastic elastic band 11 is deformed into a flat shape, the user can take the central portion of the elastic elastic band 11 to the back and The posture in which both ends of the elastic elastic band 11 are held by both hands (refer to FIG. 4), or the posture in which both ends of the elastic elastic band 11 are held by both hands and arms are opened (refer to FIG. 8, FIG. 15, and FIG. 16 and Figure 17). At the same time, the elastic elastic band 11 can be easily wrapped around the body (refer to FIGS. 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14). Even if the elastic elastic band 11 is placed on the sole of the foot while sitting on the seat 21, the required load can be applied very easily (see Figs. 5, 6, and 7). Further, since the elastic elastic band 11 is deformed into a flat shape, the length thereof is shorter than the length of the palm (the length of the middle finger of the left and right hands is separated when the left and right upper limbs are stretched into a horizontal straight line), and therefore, the elastic band 11 is moved. In a state of being deformed into a flat shape, the user can take a posture in which the central portion of the elastic elastic band 11 is flat on the back and hold both ends of the elastic elastic band 11 with both hands (refer to FIG. 4) or take a double The hand holds the both ends of the elastic elastic band 11 and opens the arms (see FIGS. 8, 15, 16, and 17). (shown), and in the state in which the above posture is taken, the elastic band 11 is stretched to apply a load.

At the same time, the hardness of the elastic elastic band 11 is about 15 degrees. In addition to the high stretchability and low pulling strength, the elastic elastic band 11 has a long width and a thick thickness, so that it has a better hand feeling. It can be held in the hand without any force, and even if a part of the elastic band 11 is flat on a part of the body, it can be easily maintained in the surrounding position. Further, since the elastic elastic band 11 has a sufficient weight, in addition to providing a contraction force due to material properties, it is possible to provide a load due to weight.

Thereby, all of the above-described movements using the athletic elastic band 11 are movements that can be easily achieved for most users, and are exercises that can perform well on various parts of the body.

In other words, by performing the exercise method described in the foregoing embodiments, the user can move to the feet, legs or arms, and even the muscles throughout the body. By using muscle, the user can consume energy, exercise muscles or adjust the state of the body. At this time, although the muscles are subjected to some load, the muscles are subjected to a light load, so that the heart rate can be accelerated and the excessive heart rate can be prevented from occurring.

Moreover, the difference in body size of each user can be handled by adjusting the surrounding or holding position of the elastic elastic band 11 by the same method as adjusting the load. In other words, as long as a sports elastic band 11 is held, it can be provided to many people. For example, when the inner diameter D1 of the elastic elastic band 11 is 510 mm, the outer diameter D2 is 514 mm, and the width W is 50 mm (refer to FIG. 3), the elastic elastic band 11 can be used by a large number of people.

Further, since the motion elastic band 11 is colored in blue, it is possible to calm the user's mood through visual effects, and is therefore suitable for performing exercise for preventing an excessive increase in heart rate.

Moreover, since the user performs exercise while sitting, it is possible to avoid an accident such as a fall to ensure safety during use.

As described above, the exercise elastic band 11 of the present invention can be safely used for performing systemic exercise for preventing an excessive increase in heart rate, and its exercise load is only comparable to the degree of walking, and thus, for example, when type 2 diabetes (Diabetes mellitus) A patient or a healthy person of type 2), particularly a person who secretes only a small amount of insulin but does not need insulin, can use the exercise elastic band 11 to perform the exercise method of the above embodiment, thereby lowering the peak value of blood sugar rise, thereby suppressing diabetes Deterioration of the disease and the production of complications.

Type 2 diabetes is a type of diabetes that causes a decrease in insulin secretion. In general, the blood sugar level will increase after a meal, but if the body does not secrete insulin, the sugar in the blood can not be transferred to the cells, so the sugar in the blood will continue to increase and the blood sugar level will rise. . However, when the muscles are active, even if the amount of insulin is secreted, the amount of Glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) secreted in the muscles will increase, so that the sugar can be transferred to the cells. opportunity. However, it should be noted that if the muscles are excessively increased and the heart rate is excessively increased, the sympathetic nerves will be stimulated to secrete adrenaline, which will cause the blood sugar level to rise.

Since the mechanism of the rise in blood sugar is as described above, it is possible to control and suppress the increase in blood sugar level as long as a slight exercise that does not easily cause an increase in heart rate is performed.

Specifically, it is possible to perform the above-described exercise equivalent to the degree of walking for about 10 minutes from a certain time after the start of the meal, for example, 30 minutes after the start of the meal, and the blood sugar rises due to the intake of food. However, muscle activity will promote the secretion of Glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) and absorb sugar into the cells, thereby preventing excessive rise in blood sugar levels. In other words, it is possible to prevent not only the peak of blood sugar rise but also the occurrence of complications.

Of course, in addition to being able to control the blood sugar level, the exercise elastic band 11 can achieve various purposes such as rehabilitation after a disease, improvement of stiffness of the shoulder and neck, or exercise of muscle strength.

Further, although the exercise method described in the above embodiment is an example in which the exercise is performed in the sitting posture, the user can also exercise in the standing posture.

Figure 18 is a cross-sectional view showing a moving elastic band 11 according to another embodiment of the present invention. As described in the previous embodiment, the elastic elastic band 11 is formed in a strip shape having a certain width and formed into a ring shape, but it may also be as shown in the elastic elastic band 11 of FIG. 18 in the width direction of the band shape. Thickened portions 11a are respectively provided on both sides, wherein the thickness of the thick portion 11a is greater than the thickness of other portions of the elastic elastic band 11. At the same time, the thick portion 11a may be formed by projecting from both sides of the elastic elastic band 11 as shown in FIG.

In the case where only the one side of the moving elastic band 11 is provided with the thick portion 11a, The thick portion 11a is preferably provided on the outer side surface of the elastic elastic band 11. Thereby, when the moving elastic band 11 is taken by the hand, since the portion of the thick portion 11a is abutted against the fingertip, the person who is slow to touch the hand can easily hold the elastic elastic band 11. Further, since the thick portion 11a is positioned outside the moving elastic band 11, and the inner side of the elastic elastic band 11 is flat, when the elastic elastic band 11 is deformed into a flat shape, the user can completely overlap the inner side. The moving elastic band 11 is held in the state, and the application of the load can be made more stable.

It should be noted that the sports elastic band 11 having the above configuration can also achieve the same effects as the previous embodiment. In particular, the thick portion 11a can increase the durability of the elastic elastic band 11 that is continuously stretched and stretched.
