Description

本発明は、持ち運び可能な腹筋用自主訓練装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a portable self-training apparatus for abdominal muscles.

負傷した手足のリハビリと再訓練のための機器とフィットネスの分野において、特定の筋肉部位を鍛える機械は、他の機器と、例えば電気刺激装置などの局所的な使用に同じように好適な装置と、平行して発達していった。   In the field of equipment and fitness for rehabilitation and retraining of injured limbs, a machine that trains a specific muscle site is a device that is equally suitable for local use with other equipment, such as an electrical stimulator. , Developed in parallel.

多くの機械や装置の一部は、各筋肉部位を鍛えることで知られており、またそれらを様々な種類の電気刺激装置と組み合わせることでも知られている。使用目的を区別するために、大まかに二つのカテゴリーがあり、一般的な健康のためのものと、それよりもむしろ筋肉を強化するものとがあり、それぞれ「アイソキネティックマシン」と「心肺機能向上マシン」と呼ばれる。   Some of the many machines and devices are known to train each muscle site and are also known to combine them with various types of electrical stimulators. There are roughly two categories to distinguish the purpose of use, one for general health and the other for strengthening muscles, "isokinetic machine" and "cardiopulmonary function improvement", respectively. Called "machine".

アイソキネティック機器を使用する場合、特に事前に所定の錘の数値に調整されていない場合のリスクとして、使用者にとって訓練器具の最適な使用方法を同定するのは難しい場合がある。実際には、これは、絶対的な答えなしに、行っている運動の目的に対応する筋肉の収縮とはなにか、さらにその訓練の特徴的なその他の要素、例えば繰り返しの回数、使っている筋肉が収縮していなければならない時間の長さ、一繰り返しから次に移るまでの間の時間の長さ、などを自分で評価しなければならないということである。   When using an isokinetic device, it may be difficult for the user to identify the optimal use of the training equipment, especially as a risk if it has not been adjusted to a predetermined weight value beforehand. In practice, this means that without an absolute answer, what is the muscle contraction that corresponds to the purpose of the exercise you are doing, and other characteristic elements of the training, such as the number of repetitions, This means that you have to evaluate for yourself the length of time that must be contracted, the length of time between one iteration and the next.

腹筋を鍛えるための装置は通常このタイプに含まれる。使用者は、筋肉に所望の負荷をかける正しい位置をすぐには同定することができず、また同じ運動を同じように数回繰り返して同じ筋肉の収縮を達成するのは簡単ではない。   Devices for training abs are usually included in this type. The user cannot immediately identify the correct position to apply the desired load on the muscle and it is not easy to repeat the same exercise several times to achieve the same muscle contraction.

特にこの装置の種類において、電気刺激装置との組み合わせにより、電気刺激装置から筋肉の収縮が所望のレベルに達した際に、連続した刺激波をおくることで効果的な作用を提供することもできる。   Particularly in this type of device, when combined with the electrical stimulation device, when the muscle contraction reaches a desired level from the electrical stimulation device, an effective action can be provided by sending a continuous stimulation wave. .

当然ながら、正確な所望のレベルの筋収縮を同定することの難しさと運動を同じように繰り返すということの難しさは電気刺激装置の機能の効率に影響してしまい、最適な瞬間で知らせないこともあり得る。   Of course, the difficulty of identifying the exact desired level of muscle contraction and the difficulty of repeating exercise in the same way will affect the efficiency of the function of the electrical stimulator and should not be reported at the optimal moment. There is also a possibility.

これらの機器のその他の欠点として、実際にこれらはほとんどいつも、重たくさらに大きいということがある。つまり、これらの機器は、特別なセンターやジムにしかなく、これらを利用するためには、使用者は上記のような場所に行かなければならない。したがって、よくあるのが、時間的且つ手配上の問題のせいで、この装置を利用する必要のある人達がこの種のセラピーを諦めてしまうことである。   Another drawback of these devices is that in practice they are almost always heavy and larger. In other words, these devices are only in special centers and gyms, and in order to use these devices, the user must go to the place described above. Therefore, it is common for people who need to use this device to give up this kind of therapy because of time and arrangement problems.

この機械の利用とは別に、個人またはグループのための腹筋運動はインストラクターの指示のもとで行われることが多い。ジム利用者の間では、このような運動が最も人気がないことはよく知られており、そのため利用者は可能な限り避けようとする。したがって、インストラクターの不在は、この運動を避ける尤もな理由になり、また所定の目的に対して役に立たないやり方で行ってしまうこともある。さらには、指導なしでこれらの運動をすることは、経験不足に起因して、間違った姿勢や運動の選択で行ってしまい、何もしないよりも害を及ぼしてしまうこともある。   Apart from using this machine, abdominal exercises for individuals or groups are often performed under the direction of instructors. It is well known that such exercise is the least popular among gym users, so users try to avoid it as much as possible. Thus, the absence of an instructor is a reasonable reason to avoid this movement and may be done in a way that is not useful for a given purpose. Furthermore, doing these exercises without guidance can be done with the wrong choice of posture and exercise due to lack of experience, and may be more harmful than doing nothing.

したがって、本発明の目的は、上述の欠点を克服することである。   The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.

これは、腹筋による筋肉の活動が所望のレベルに達すると表示する装置により達成されている。   This is accomplished by a device that displays when muscle activity by the abdominal muscles reaches a desired level.

本発明の主な利点は、使用者が、筋肉の収縮と運動時間を気にせずに彼らが運動を正しく実行することに集中出来ることである。   The main advantage of the present invention is that users can focus on performing exercise correctly without worrying about muscle contraction and exercise time.

使用者が運動している際に、装置が指示し制御することは、間違いなく心理的な手助けであり、これは所定の目的を達成するために非常に重要である。その分野の専門家が特別に計画した運動の質と段階さえも提案され、各使用者が最も可能な正確な方法で行えるようにしている。   The instruction and control of the device as the user is exercising is definitely psychological help, which is very important to achieve the predetermined purpose. Even the quality and stage of the exercises, specially planned by experts in the field, are proposed, allowing each user to do it in the most accurate way possible.

さらに、この装置は持ち運び可能なため、使用者は彼らにとって最も都合のいい時間と場所で運動することができる。持ち運び簡単なこの装置は、同時に床で運動する際に間違った姿勢をとることを防ぐ。   In addition, the device is portable so that the user can exercise at the time and place most convenient for them. This portable device prevents you from taking the wrong posture when exercising on the floor at the same time.

最後に、この装置が電気刺激装置と組み合わせてある場合、この装置に使われている腹筋の収縮が所定のレベルに達した瞬間に電気刺激装置が確実に使用者に知らせることになる。   Finally, if the device is combined with an electrical stimulation device, the electrical stimulation device will certainly inform the user at the moment the abdominal muscle contraction used in the device reaches a predetermined level.

本発明のさらなる利点と特徴は、後述の詳細な説明と添付の図面を参照することにより明らかになる。添付の図面は、本発明の範囲を限定することなく示すものである。

添付の図面に係る本発明は、持ち運び可能な腹筋用自主訓練装置であって、床で腹筋を鍛えるための装置１と前記装置１に組み込まれた電子制御部２を有する。   The present invention according to the attached drawings is a portable abdominal muscle self-training apparatus having a device 1 for training the abdominal muscles on the floor and an electronic control unit 2 incorporated in the device 1.

電子制御部２は、少なくとも一つの指導プログラムと共にソフトウェア２２を持ち、実行するプログラムの特徴を表示する表示画面２１と、プログラムを正しく行うための指導手段２３と、所定の筋収縮の達成の検知手段２５とを有する。   The electronic control unit 2 has software 22 together with at least one instruction program, a display screen 21 that displays the characteristics of the program to be executed, instruction means 23 for correctly executing the program, and detection means for achieving predetermined muscle contraction 25.

ソフトウェア２２が複数の指導プログラムを有する好ましい理論上の形態の場合、電子制御部２は実行するプログラムの選択手段２４を持つ。プログラムは、その分野の専門家によって用意され、周期的にアップデートされ、さらに段階性を有することで、全ての使用者の要件に適応することができる。   When the software 22 has a preferred theoretical form having a plurality of instruction programs, the electronic control unit 2 has a program selection means 24 to be executed. The program is prepared by experts in the field, is updated periodically, and is stepped so that it can adapt to the requirements of all users.

機器１０をより効果的にするのに役立つ付属品が電気刺激装置３で、少なくとも一対の電極３１と電子制御部２に組み込まれた電気刺激パルス用の調節手段３２からなり、電気刺激装置３は、所定の筋収縮を検知する検知手段２５によって起動される。   An accessory that helps to make the device 10 more effective is an electrical stimulation device 3, which comprises at least a pair of electrodes 31 and adjustment means 32 for electrical stimulation pulses incorporated in the electronic control unit 2, and the electrical stimulation device 3 is It is activated by the detection means 25 for detecting a predetermined muscle contraction.

所望の筋収縮に到達した場合、ソフトウェア２２は、筋収縮に到達した姿勢を使用者が保持する時間と、電気刺激パルスの送信（電気刺激装置３が付いていれば）と、一繰り返しから次の繰り返しの間の時間と、繰り返しの回数とを制御することができる。   When the desired muscle contraction is reached, the software 22 repeats from one iteration to the next time the user holds the posture that reached the muscle contraction, transmission of the electrical stimulation pulse (if the electrical stimulation device 3 is attached), and so on. It is possible to control the time between repetitions and the number of repetitions.

指導手段２３は、同じ作用でさらに本発明の概念から逸脱しない範囲の種々の形態から出来ていてよい。しかしながら、指導手段２３は電子制御部２に同時にある必要はなく、例えば音響アラーム２３ａ、音声指示器２３ｃと視覚的アラーム２３ｂが示される。   The instruction means 23 may be made of various forms within the scope of the same action and without departing from the concept of the present invention. However, the instruction means 23 does not have to be in the electronic control unit 2 at the same time, and for example, an acoustic alarm 23a, a voice indicator 23c, and a visual alarm 23b are shown.

したがって、電気刺激装置３のあるなしに関わらず、指導手段２３の存在はきつくて退屈な運動を本能的に避けようとすることを解決し、一方で、所定の筋収縮を検知する検知手段２５は、選択した運動が正しく行われていることを保証しているため、当該機器１０では使用者がジムに行けない時であっても最も効果的な腹筋の運動を達成できるのは明らかである。   Therefore, regardless of the presence or absence of the electrical stimulation device 3, the presence of the teaching means 23 solves the instinctively avoiding a tedious and boring movement, while detecting means 25 for detecting a predetermined muscle contraction. Guarantees that the selected exercise is performed correctly, so it is clear that the device 10 can achieve the most effective abdominal exercise even when the user cannot go to the gym. .

所定の筋収縮を検知する異なる種類の検知手段２５があってもよく、それらは機器１０が電気刺激装置３を有する時により重要である。一般的に、それらは一つの装置１に組み込まれたセンサー２５ａを有していてもよく、装置１の全ての動きまたは歪みを検知することができ、装置１は所定の筋収縮の達成と対応している。   There may be different types of detection means 25 for detecting a predetermined muscle contraction, which are more important when the device 10 has the electrical stimulator 3. In general, they may have a sensor 25a built into one device 1 and can detect all movements or distortions of the device 1, which responds to the achievement of a predetermined muscle contraction. is doing.

添付の図面において、センサー２５ａは床に対する装置１の回転を検知し、電気刺激装置３がある場合には、所定の筋収縮の達成に対応する数値に到達した時に限りパルスを発生させ、または単純に指示手段２３を通して、運動指導条件に達したことを知らせる。   In the accompanying drawings, the sensor 25a detects the rotation of the device 1 relative to the floor and, in the presence of the electrical stimulation device 3, generates a pulse only when a numerical value corresponding to the achievement of a predetermined muscle contraction is reached, or simply Is informed through the instruction means 23 that the exercise instruction condition has been reached.

また、検知手段２５は、少なくとも一つのセンサー２５ｂからできていてもよく、センサー２５ｂは電気刺激装置３がある場合には電極３１に設置できる。したがって使っている筋肉と接して、所定の筋収縮が達成された時は直接検知するように設計され、さらに電気刺激パルスを発生させる。このようにすると、電気刺激パルスを任意の収縮に対して好適な瞬間に加え、または電気刺激装置３がない場合は、使用者には単純に指示手段２３を通して筋収縮が達成されたことを伝える。   Moreover, the detection means 25 may be made of at least one sensor 25b, and the sensor 25b can be installed on the electrode 31 when the electrical stimulation device 3 is present. Therefore, it is designed to directly detect when a predetermined muscle contraction is achieved in contact with the muscle being used, and further generate an electrical stimulation pulse. In this way, an electrical stimulation pulse is applied at a suitable moment for any contraction, or if the electrical stimulation device 3 is not present, the user is simply informed through the indicating means 23 that muscle contraction has been achieved. .

使用者が立った状態での機器１０の位置設定を容易にするために、少なくとも一つの調節可能な肩紐４（または似たような付属品、例えば紐やベルト）と背筋を維持するように設計されたバックレスト５を有する。   Maintain at least one adjustable shoulder strap 4 (or similar accessory, such as a strap or belt) and back to facilitate positioning of the device 10 in a standing position. It has a designed backrest 5.

好ましい実施形態では、電気刺激装置３は電極３１を支持し機器１０の使用を容易にするように設計されたベルト３３を有する。   In a preferred embodiment, the electrical stimulation device 3 has a belt 33 designed to support the electrode 31 and facilitate use of the device 10.

説明されてきた本発明は、本発明の概念を逸脱することなく変更また変型してもよい。さらには、本発明の細部は技術的に同様な要素に置き換えることもできる。   The invention that has been described may be altered or modified without departing from the inventive concept. Furthermore, the details of the invention can be replaced by technically similar elements.

当然ながら、実際には変更や改変は可能で、すべて特許請求の範囲で網羅している。   Of course, changes and modifications are possible in practice and are all covered by the claims.
