Definitions
- the invention relates to a dumbbell-like device for stimulating the musculoskeletal system and the muscles, in particular in the arm and shoulder area, with a handle part and at least one mass element connected to the handle part.
- dumbbells in which the grip part and mass elements are rigidly connected to one another, are used both in strength training and in medical rehabilitation to strengthen the arm muscles.
- the dumbbell held on the grip part is usually moved according to a predetermined pattern by swiveling the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints using muscle power, the mass forces acting on the dumbbell during the course of the movement being intercepted by the musculoskeletal system controlled by the central nervous system.
- Most dumbbell exercises require significant physical exertion, which puts stress on the cardiovascular system.
- vibrating massage devices with which the muscles are to be stimulated. The vibration devices are pressed against the muscles to be treated, so that the muscle fibers are set in motion by friction over the tissue.
- vibration treatment of resting muscles none can be of little therapeutic effect.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the handle part designed as a handle has a defined handle axis and that the mass element with its center of gravity can be moved oscillating transversely to the handle axis or rotated oscillating about the handle axis.
- the center of gravity movement of the mass element to the handle axis expediently has an amplitude of 3 to 30 mm, preferably 5 to 15 mm, for applications in the arm area.
- the mass element is designed as a frame with two support columns arranged at a distance from one another and aligned parallel to one another and two cross members connected to one another in pairs between the ends of the support columns, while the handle part is arranged in the area between the support columns.
- two mutually opposite, coaxial pivot bearings are expediently arranged for receiving a crank or eccentric shaft, the grip sleeve being rotatably arranged on the crank or eccentric shaft.
- the device according to the invention in a hand-operated or foot-operated strength training machine (bodybuilding machine) if the handle part is designed as a handle or foot pedal for generating a basic tone in the region of the muscles to be treated.
- acceleration sensors 38, 40 can be arranged in the handle part 10 and in the mass element 12, the output signals of which can be correlated in a computer-aided evaluation circuit 44 with the movement data of the drive mechanism 14, for example to generate a spectrum analysis.
