Definitions

  • the technical field relates generally to the field of clothing.
  • leg harness types of apparatuses of variable resistance, which are known because the load on the user's legs is increased, but said apparatuses have not been satisfactorily tested for training in sports that require constant use of one's legs, such as taekwondo or karate.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,203,754 describes a variable resistance leg harness exercise apparatus that enables the user to perform a series of exercise cycles under an increased load by means of resistance, increasing the load on the user's legs in order to increase muscular strength and endurance of the legs.
  • Said apparatus includes a belt, leg accessories, stretchable cords for the belt and foot accessories in order to provide an increased in resistance and without distorting the natural exercise patterns.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,179,760 B1 describes an apparatus to assist the leg muscles during cycling. Said patent has technical elements that help the user's legs stretch during an upstroke and help the legs contract on a downstroke to release the energy for assisting the legs to rotate the pedals.
  • Said device is used to increase the performance of a cyclist during bicycling or other cycling by increasing the speed performance obtainable by the cyclist for a given cycle or bicycle.
  • the invention includes a provision of one or more elastic members applied to the legs of the cyclist such that the elastic members will stretch on the downstroke of the pedals to generate energy and contract on the upstroke of the pedals to release the energy for assisting the cyclist's legs to rotate the pedals and in turn the sprocket.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,179,760 B1 describes a method and/or device that includes elastic members used to assist the legs of the cyclist such that the elastic elements will stretch on the downstroke of the pedals to generate energy and contract on the upstroke of the pedals to release the energy for assisting the cyclist's legs to rotate the pedals and in turn the sprocket.
  • None of the aforementioned devices described in the state of the art has means in the form of kneepads that enable articulation with the aim of favoring and forming the flexion angle in the area of the knees, in addition to being especially designed for the practice of taekwondo or karate.
  • the disclosed device aims to provide training pants to overload the user's leg with resistances and as a result increase their muscular force, thereby strengthening the user's legs, particularly designed for practicing taekwondo or karate, and consist of a belt and heel supports that are adjustable in order to tighten resistance bands that can be joined to the belt at the upper end thereof and to the heel supports at the lower end thereof, characterized in that they have kneepads with loops through which the resistance bands pass that create tension in the flexion angle on the rear part of the knees.
  • the belt defines a surface that is adjustable to the user and has at least a snap-type buckle and it includes a series of ring-shaped holes that are reinforced on the outer edge thereof.
  • FIG. 1 Front view of the training pants.
  • FIG. 2 Rear view of the training pants.
  • FIG. 3 Front view of the pants with reinforced seams.
  • the pants include four loops placed on the sides of the ankles.
  • FIG. 4 Rear view of the pants with double reinforcement of the fabric on the channels of the bands on the part of the legs and calves.
  • FIG. 5 Perspective view of the adjustable belt with 4 holes.
  • FIG. 6 Front view of the kneepads.
  • FIG. 7 Pairs of resistance bands.
  • FIG. 8 Adjustable heel supports with holes for tightening.
  • the present invention relates to training pants, particularly to pants that incorporate elastic bands of varying degrees of resistance, which allow the user to perform a series of exercises with an increase in the load on the legs of users.
  • the training pants allow the user to do a series of exercises, avoiding the distortion of the user's natural center of gravity or of their movement patterns.
  • the training pants consist of a belt and heel supports which are adjustable in order to tighten the resistance bands and are characterized in that they have kneepads in which 4 loops are integrated, each one placed on each of the upper and lower ends of the rear part of the kneepad, allowing a flexion angle to be formed on the rear part of the kneepads and providing resistance when the user exercises their legs.
  • the present invention aims to provide training pants to overload the user's leg with resistances and as a result increase their muscular force, thereby strengthening the user's legs.
  • the user is able to develop an improved technique in their legs, improving their kicks, thereby becoming more prominent in the majority of the martial arts, such as taekwondo and karate, arts in which quick, agile and strong movements of the legs are required at the moment of contact.
  • training pants are made up of a belt and heel supports that are adjustable in order to tighten the resistance bands and, furthermore, the pants are characterized in that they have kneepads that help form the flexion angle in the rear part of the knees.
  • the training bands have different degrees of resistance, going from 45N to 90N, depending on the user's experience in the practice of taekwondo or karate, which when multiplied by 4 bands that comprise the training pants, provide a total resistance ranging from 180N-200N to 320-360N.
  • Ap chagi kick This is a linear and frontal technique in which, by means of the training pants described in the present invention, the height of the back leg is improved with the knee flexed up to the middle of the torso. Furthermore, it improves the flexion in the supporting leg and the foot at an angle of 45 to 55 degrees from the attack line.
  • Bandal chagi kick The use of the training pants helps improve this semicircular technique which is initiated from the combat position, raising the back leg with the knee flexed in front at the height of the torso. It improves the flexion of the base leg and the angle of the foot at 90 to 100 degrees from the attack line.
  • Dollyo chagi kick This is a circular kick initiated from the combat position. With the training pants the elevation of the back leg is improved with the knee flexed at the height of the chest, allowing the rotation of the hip 90 degrees forward.
  • the training pants of interest can be used to practice high-performance sports or for improving one's physical condition, specifically for weight loss by burning calories.
  • training pants allows the focus to be on muscular strength and growth specifically in the desired muscle group, avoiding the use of oxygen and effort in muscle groups the user does not intend to use. Therefore, the quality of the training is improved by only focusing on one muscular group and the physical condition of the user to optimize competitive form.
  • Another advantage of the training pants consists of strengthening primary and secondary muscles which one is training. Likewise, tension is increased or decreased in a short period of time by only having to change the tension bands.
  • the training pants aim to improve the neuromuscular response and motor skills for practicing sports that combine speed, agility and force, such as karate and taekwondo. On the other hand, it allows the user to improve their coordination by allowing them to be more aware of their movement patterns.
  • the training pants can be used for therapeutical and rehabilitation purposes.
  • the training pants comprise:
  • FIG. ( 1 ) shows a pair of training pants ( 10 ) according to the invention.
  • the training pants ( 10 ) comprise resistance bands ( 21 , 22 , 21 ′, 22 ′) for a stable and detachable fastening at the upper end thereof around the belt or midsection of a user of the training pants ( 10 ) and fastening means at the lower end thereof on heel supports ( 40 ).
  • the resistance bands ( 21 , 22 , 21 ′, 22 ′) are attached at the upper end thereof to the belt and at the lower end thereof to the heel supports ( 40 ), passing through loops of the kneepads ( 30 ).
  • the belt ( 11 ) defines a surface that is adjustable to the user and has at least a snap-type buckle ( 12 ) that adjusts the belt depending on the size of the human user ( FIG. 5 ).
  • the belt ( 11 ) includes a series of ring-shaped holes that are reinforced on the outer edge thereof ( 12 , 13 , 12 ′, 13 ′).
  • Whether or not the belt has more than one buckle will depend on the tension of the resistance bands.
  • the belt has at least one buckle, each one of which would comprise a female end ( 15 ) and a harpoon-type male end ( 14 ) that allows the two ends of the belt to be fastened.
  • the ring-shaped holes ( 12 , 13 , 12 ′, 13 ′) allow the upper ends of the resistance bands ( 21 , 22 , 21 ′, 22 ′) to be attached to the belt ( 11 ) at coupling points ( 211 , 221 , 211 ′, 221 ′) ( FIG. 5 ), located on the upper edge thereof.
  • the coupling points ( 211 , 221 , 211 ′, 221 ′) are introduced in the ring-shaped holes ( 21 , 22 , 21 ′, 22 ′) and separation of the resistance bands from the belt is prevented due to the tension of the band.

  • the pants ( 10 ) can be made of elastane, which is fastened around the waist or midsection of a human user of the training pants ( 10 ) by means of the belt ( 11 ).
  • the pants ( 10 ) have reinforced seams ( 50 ) on the front part thereof to prevent the structure from alterations or ruptures. Likewise, on the rear part thereof the pants have seams with double reinforcement ( 60 ) on the channels of the legs and calves.
  • the pants ( 20 ) also have kneepads ( 30 , 30 ′) placed around the knees which guide the tension bands along the user's legs.
  • the material of the kneepads will preferably, but not by way of limitation, be made of polyester and other synthetic materials.
  • Each one of the kneepads ( 30 , 30 ′) has loops arranged on the lateral edges, in particular the kneepad ( 30 ) has two loops, two on the lower ends thereof ( 32 , 34 ), and another two loops ( 31 , 33 ) on the upper ends thereof, while the kneepad ( 30 ′) has two loops on the lower ends ( 32 ′, 34 ′) thereof and two on the upper ends ( 31 ′, 33 ′) thereof through which the resistance bands ( 21 , 22 , 21 ′, 22 ′) are introduced to provide a stable fastening to the training pants.
  • the resistance bands are lined with a synthetic material or fabric that facilitates the path of the bands, providing them with more protection and a longer duration.
  • the invention has heel supports ( 40 , 40 ′) placed around the sides of the ankle.
  • the heel supports are made of a material that prevents rubbing against the skin and sores as a result.
  • Said heel supports ( 40 , 40 ′) have fastening means ( 41 , 42 , 41 ′, 42 ′) which serve to connect the lower parts of the resistance bands by means of coupling points ( 212 , 222 , 212 ′, 222 ′) located on the lower edge thereof.
  • the fastening means ( 41 , 42 , 41 ′, 42 ′) provided on the heel supports for fastening the lower ends of the resistance bands ( 21 , 22 , 21 ′, 22 ′) are eyelets protected by a wall of neoprene, and in another, less professional embodiment, they may be hooks as a gripping means for the heel supports.
  • the fastening means ( 41 , 42 , 41 ′, 42 ′) can have metal parts, in the case that the pants are used for a hobby or personal training, however, in the case of using the pants for fighting or combat, in order to prevent injury to the heel support, it will not have any metal parts.
  • the coupling points ( 211 , 221 , 211 ′, 221 ′) of the resistance bands ( 21 , 22 , 21 ′, 22 ′) are introduced in the fastening means ( 41 , 42 , 41 ′, 42 ′) of the heel supports and thanks to the tension of the band, separation of the kneepads from the resistance bands is prevented.
  • the heel supports ( 40 , 40 ′) have joining ends made of Velcro® ( 44 , 43 ) that adjust the lower part of the heel supports of the user depending on the size of the human user.
  • the heel supports ( 40 , 40 ′) have the advantage in that they are easily detachable from the foot and the user's ankles.
  • the user In order to achieve the tension in the pants, the user must put on the pants with the reinforced seams toward the front view. Afterwards, the user must proceed to place the belt at waist level and adjust the at least snap-type buckle, stretching the male section to make the connection with the female section of the buckle.
  • the coupling points are introduced in the ring elements of the belt. It must be ensured that the coupling points are completely introduced in order to enable an ideal training for the user.
  • the bands attached to the belt are introduced through the fastening means (of the kneepads) and due to the tension of the band, separation of the resistance bands from the kneepads is prevented.
  • the heel supports help to tighten the lower ends of the bands.
  • training pants made up of a belt and heel supports that are adjustable in order to tighten the resistance bands, characterized in that they have kneepads that help form the flexion angle in the rear part of the knees.
  • the training pants allow the user to do a series of exercises, avoiding the distortion of the user's natural center of gravity or of their movement patterns.
  • the bands For a first time user, the bands should be used with a resistance force of 45N to 50N, which when multiplied by 4 bands equals a total resistance of 180N to 200N, which increases depending on the exercise done.
  • the bands should be used with a resistance force of 60N to 70N, which when multiplied by 4 bands equals a total resistance of 240N to 280N, which increases depending on the exercise done.
  • the bands should be used with a resistance force of 80N to 90N, which when multiplied by 4 bands is a total resistance of 320N to 360N, which increases depending on the exercise done.
  • the kneepads are then placed sewn to the piece of pants, which help form the flexion angle on the rear part of the knee.
