Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exercise band for exercising using muscles, and more particularly to an exercise band that is formed in an annular shape, is easy to handle, and can be suitably used even by physically weak people.
- the annular exercise band has a shape in which a tape having an appropriate width is formed into a ring, and is formed of elastic rubber. Since it is annular, it has the advantage that it is not necessary to tie a band during exercise and is easy to handle.
- Examples of exercise hands of this shape include those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below.
- the exercise bands disclosed in these patent documents are used by opening and closing the legs over both ankles or holding them with both hands and stretching them in front of the chest to extend or contract both arms.
- the circumference, thickness, width, etc. of the exercise band are set so that such use is possible.
- Patent Document 1 discloses that the thickness is 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm.
- the high tensile strength is due to the unique function of the exercise band that puts a load on the muscles.
- the reason why the thickness is thin is considered to ensure a desired stress in relation to the tensile strength.
- the rate of elongation was low because applying a load on muscles was a unique function of the exercise band. Although there is no reference to the elongation rate in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when looking at a commercially available exercise band, it is about 200% to 300%, and at most about 400%.
- the conventional exercise band Since the conventional exercise band has such a configuration, the load applied when it is pulled is large, and the heart rate increases. For this reason, it may be inappropriate exercise for the physically weak to excessively increase the heart rate.
- the main object of the present invention is to make it possible to suitably use an annular exercise band so that even physically weak persons do not suffer from physical problems.
- a means for that is an exercise band made of synthetic rubber having elasticity and used by being held on the human body, which is formed into a ring shape in a tape shape, and its length when deformed flat is longer than the shoulder width.
- the exercise band has a shorter length, an elongation rate of 600% to 1600%, and a tensile strength of 2 Mpa to 7 Mpa.
- the finger electrode is the length from the tip to the tip of the left and right middle fingers when the left and right upper limbs are extended horizontally in a straight line.
- the exercise band with this configuration is very soft because it has high elongation and low tensile strength.
- the thickness is 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm and the hardness is 5 degrees to 35 degrees. Since it is thick, it is easy to hold and has a feeling of weight.
- Another means for solving the problem is that the exercise band is held in a part of the human body, the human body is in a pre-motion posture, and then the portion of the human body that holds the exercise band is different from the pre-motion posture.
- This is a method of using an exercise band that takes a rear posture and then alternately takes a pre-motion posture and a post-motion posture.
- the muscles used when the pre-motion posture and the post-motion posture are alternately applied are subjected to a stress that is caused by the extension of the soft exercise band or the weight of the exercise band itself is light.
- an exercise band with a special property that has not been used in the past places a light load on the muscles, so that exercise without excessive increase in heart rate can be performed. For this reason, even a physically weak person can perform a good exercise to train and prepare the body.
- the exercise band is annular and easy to handle, the burden on the user can be reduced. For this reason, it is possible to exercise in a calm state, and from this point as well, an increase in heart rate can be suppressed.
- the perspective view of an exercise band The perspective view which shows the cross-sectional shape of an exercise band.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the exercise band 11.
- the exercise band 11 is made of a synthetic rubber having elasticity, and as shown in FIG. 2, it is a tape having a constant width and is formed in an annular shape.
- the synthetic rubber a flexible rubber is used, and among these, silicone rubber can be most preferably used.
- the circumference of the exercise band 11 is flattened as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 1, and the length when the opposing parts are brought into contact with each other is longer than the shoulder width of the user and shorter than the finger electrode. Length. Specifically, when the inner diameter D1 (see FIG. 3A, which is a plan view of the exercise band 11) is set to about 500 mm, the circumference becomes about 1600 mm.
- the width W of the exercise band 11 may be such that it can be gripped by a portion beyond the base of the thumb of the palm. Specifically, it may be about 50 ⁇ 10 mm.
- the thickness of the exercise band 11 is increased to about 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm. If it is preferably 2 mm, it is not too thin and not too stiff, and it can be easily adapted to the hand and have a heavy feeling. If the thickness is 2 mm, the circumference is 1600 mm, the width is 50 mm and formed using silicone rubber, the weight of the exercise band 11 is about 170 g. The weight is preferably set within a range of about 150 g to 200 g.
- the elongation rate is set to 600% to 1600%
- the tensile strength is set to 2 Mpa to 7 Mpa
- the hardness is set to 5 degrees to 35 degrees, preferably 15 ⁇ 5 degrees.
- the elongation is more preferably 900% or more. Even if the tensile strength is low, sufficient flexibility not to break can be obtained, and the final load can be reduced.
- This exercise band 11 is colored blue as a whole. Sky blue is preferable among blue.
- the exercise band 11 configured as described above is used while being held by the human body, and applies a light load to the muscle when moving the body due to the contraction force and weight of the exercise band 11.
- the method of exercise is devised appropriately according to the part to be trained or adjusted and the required strength. For example, in addition to applying force in the direction in which the exercise band 11 extends over the part to move, such as legs and arms, move the body with both hands holding the ends of the exercise band 11, or hang the exercise band 11 on the sole of the foot You can also lift and move your feet.

Abstract
Description
この発明は、筋肉を使った運動をするためのエクササイズバンドに関し、より詳しくは、環状に形成されていて扱いやすく、身体的弱者でも好適に使用できるようなエクササイズバンドに関する。 The present invention relates to an exercise band for exercising using muscles, and more particularly to an exercise band that is formed in an annular shape, is easy to handle, and can be suitably used even by physically weak people.
環状のエクササイズバンドは、適宜幅のテープを環にした形状であり、伸縮性を有するゴムで形成されている。環状であるので運動に際してバンドを結んだりする必要がないなどの利点を有し、扱いやすい。 The annular exercise band has a shape in which a tape having an appropriate width is formed into a ring, and is formed of elastic rubber. Since it is annular, it has the advantage that it is not necessary to tie a band during exercise and is easy to handle.
この形状のエクササイズハンドとしては、たとえば下記特許文献1、2に開示されているようなものがある。これらの特許文献に開示されたエクササイズバンドは、両足首にかけて脚を開いたり閉じたりしたり、両手で保持して胸の前で張って両腕を伸ばしたり縮めたりして使用される。このような使用ができるように、エクササイズバンドの円周や厚さ、幅などは設定されている。 Examples of exercise hands of this shape include those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below. The exercise bands disclosed in these patent documents are used by opening and closing the legs over both ankles or holding them with both hands and stretching them in front of the chest to extend or contract both arms. The circumference, thickness, width, etc. of the exercise band are set so that such use is possible.
しかし特許文献1、2をはじめ、これまでのエクササイズバンドは、引っ張り強さが高く、厚さが薄いものであった。厚さについて、特許文献1には、0.2mm~1.5mmであると開示されている。 However, the exercise bands so far, including Patent Documents 1 and 2, have high tensile strength and thin thickness. Regarding the thickness, Patent Document 1 discloses that the thickness is 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm.
引っ張り強さが高いのは、筋肉に負荷をかけることがエクササイズバンドの一義的機能だからである。厚さが薄いのは、引っ張り強さとの関係で所望の応力を確保するためであると考えられる。 The high tensile strength is due to the unique function of the exercise band that puts a load on the muscles. The reason why the thickness is thin is considered to ensure a desired stress in relation to the tensile strength.
また、筋肉に負荷をかけることがエクササイズバンドの一義的機能であるため、伸び率は低かった。伸び率についての言及は特許文献1、2にはないが、市販されているエクササイズバンドについてみてみると、およそ200%程度から300%、高くても400%程度までである。 In addition, the rate of elongation was low because applying a load on muscles was a unique function of the exercise band. Although there is no reference to the elongation rate in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when looking at a commercially available exercise band, it is about 200% to 300%, and at most about 400%.
従来のエクササイズバンドは、このような構成であるので、引っ張ったときにかかる負荷は大きく、心拍数の上昇を伴うものであった。このため、身体的弱者にとっては、過度に心拍数が上昇する不適切な運動となることがある。 Since the conventional exercise band has such a configuration, the load applied when it is pulled is large, and the heart rate increases. For this reason, it may be inappropriate exercise for the physically weak to excessively increase the heart rate.
そこで、この発明は、環状のエクササイズバンドについて、身体的弱者でも体の不調をきたさないように好適に使用できるようにすることを主な目的とする。 Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to make it possible to suitably use an annular exercise band so that even physically weak persons do not suffer from physical problems.
そのための手段は、伸縮性を有する合成ゴム製で人体に保持して使用されるエクササイズバンドであって、テープ状で環状に形成され、偏平に変形したときの長さが肩幅よりも長く指極よりも短い長さであるとともに、伸び率が600%以上1600%以下で、引っ張り強さが2Mpa~7Mpaである、エクササイズバンドである。 A means for that is an exercise band made of synthetic rubber having elasticity and used by being held on the human body, which is formed into a ring shape in a tape shape, and its length when deformed flat is longer than the shoulder width. The exercise band has a shorter length, an elongation rate of 600% to 1600%, and a tensile strength of 2 Mpa to 7 Mpa.
前記指極とは、左右上肢を水平に直線状にのばしたときの左右の中指の先端から先端までの長さである。 The finger electrode is the length from the tip to the tip of the left and right middle fingers when the left and right upper limbs are extended horizontally in a straight line.
この構成のエクササイズバンドは、伸び率が高く引っ張り強さが低いので、非常に柔らかいものとなる。 The exercise band with this configuration is very soft because it has high elongation and low tensile strength.
より好ましくは、厚さが1.5mm~3.5mmで、硬度が5度~35度であるとよい。厚さが厚いので、保持しやすく重量感もあるものとなる。 More preferably, the thickness is 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm and the hardness is 5 degrees to 35 degrees. Since it is thick, it is easy to hold and has a feeling of weight.
課題を解決するための別の手段は、前記エクササイズバンドを人体の一部に保持して、人体を動作前姿勢にしたのち、人体における前記エクササイズバンドを保持する部分を動作前姿勢とは異なる動作後姿勢にし、その後、動作前姿勢と動作後姿勢を交互にとるエクササイズバンドの使用方法である。 Another means for solving the problem is that the exercise band is held in a part of the human body, the human body is in a pre-motion posture, and then the portion of the human body that holds the exercise band is different from the pre-motion posture. This is a method of using an exercise band that takes a rear posture and then alternately takes a pre-motion posture and a post-motion posture.
この使用方法では、動作前姿勢と動作後姿勢を交互に取るときに使われる筋肉に、柔らかいエクササイズバンドの伸長によって生じる応力や、エクササイズバンド自体の重量が軽い負荷をかける。 In this method of use, the muscles used when the pre-motion posture and the post-motion posture are alternately applied are subjected to a stress that is caused by the extension of the soft exercise band or the weight of the exercise band itself is light.
この発明によれば、従来にない特殊な性状のエクササイズバンドにより筋肉に軽い負荷をかけるので、心拍数の過度の上昇がない運動を行える。このため、身体的弱者にとっても体を鍛えたり整えたりするのに良好な運動を行うことができる。 According to the present invention, an exercise band with a special property that has not been used in the past places a light load on the muscles, so that exercise without excessive increase in heart rate can be performed. For this reason, even a physically weak person can perform a good exercise to train and prepare the body.
また、エクササイズバンドは環状であって扱いやすいので、使用者の負担を軽減できる。このため、落ち着いた状態で運動することが可能であり、この点からも心拍数の上昇を抑えることができる。 Also, since the exercise band is annular and easy to handle, the burden on the user can be reduced. For this reason, it is possible to exercise in a calm state, and from this point as well, an increase in heart rate can be suppressed.
この発明を実施するための一形態を、以下図面を用いて説明する。
図1は、エクササイズバンド11の斜視図である。この図に示すようにエクササイズバンド11は、伸縮性を有する合成ゴム製で、図2にも示したように一定幅のテープ状であり、環状に形成されている。合成ゴムとしては、柔軟なゴムを使用するが、なかでもシリコーンゴムが最も好適に使用できる。
An embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the
エクササイズバンド11の円周は、図1に仮想線で示したように偏平に変形して、対向する部分同士を接触させたときの長さが使用者の肩幅よりも長く、指極よりも短い長さである。具体的には、内径D1(エクササイズバンド11の平面図である図3(a)参照)を500mm程度に設定すると、円周は1600mmほどになる。
The circumference of the
エクササイズバンド11の幅W(エクササイズバンドの側面図である図3(b)参照)は、手のひらの親指の付け根部分より先の部分に握れる程度であるとよい。具体的には50±10mm位であるとよい。 The width W of the exercise band 11 (see FIG. 3 (b), which is a side view of the exercise band), may be such that it can be gripped by a portion beyond the base of the thumb of the palm. Specifically, it may be about 50 ± 10 mm.
エクササイズバンド11の厚さは、1.5mm~3.5mmくらいに厚くする。好ましくは2mmであると、薄すぎず、ごわつきすぎないで、手になじみやすく重量感のあるものとすることができる。厚さを2mmとして円周を1600mm、幅を50mmにシリコーンゴムを用いて形成すると、エクササイズバンド11の重さは約170gとなる。重量は150g~200g程度の範囲内で設定するとよい。
The thickness of the
またエクササイズバンド11の機械的性質について、伸び率を600%以上1600%以下とするとともに、引っ張り強さを2Mpa~7Mpaとし、硬度を5度~35度、望ましくは15±5度とする。伸び率については、より好ましくは900%以上とするとよい。引っ張り強さが低くても、破断しない十分な柔軟性を得られるとともに、終動負荷を軽くすることができる。

つづいて作用効果について説明する。
エクササイズバンド11は、偏平に変形したときの長さが肩幅よりも長いので、偏平に変形させた状態において中間部を背中に当てて両手で両端を保持する姿勢をとること(図4参照)や、両端部を手で保持して両腕を広げる姿勢をとること(図8、図15、図16、図17参照)などができる。エクササイズバンド11の中に体を通すこと(図5、図9、図10、図11、図12、図13、図14参照)も容易である。椅子21に着座した状態において足の裏にかけた場合でも、十分な余裕をもって所望の負荷をかけることも可能である(図5、図6、図7参照)。また、偏平に変形したときの長さが指極(左右上肢を水平に直線状にのばしたときの左右の中指の先端から先端までの長さ)よりも短い長さであるので、エクササイズバンド11を偏平に変形させた状態において中間部を背中に当てて両手で両端を保持する姿勢(図4参照)や、両端部を手で保持して両腕を広げる姿勢(図8、図15、図16、図17参照)において、エクササイズバンド11を伸ばして負荷をかけることもできる。
It continues and demonstrates an effect.
Since the
そのうえ、エクササイズバンド11は、硬度が15度程度で伸び率が高くて引張強度が低いうえに、幅が広く厚みが厚い形状であるので、手になじみやすく力を入れなくてもしっかりと手で保持でき、体の一部に当ててもその位置を保持しやすい。しかも、重量もあるので、材料による収縮力のほかに重量による負荷も付与できる。
In addition, the
このため、エクササイズバンド11を使用する前述のすべての運動は、多くの人にとって容易に行える運動となる。しかも、それらの運動は、全身に対して行える効果的な運動である。
For this reason, all the above-described exercises using the
つまり、前述の運動例のような運動を行うことによって、脚や足、腕をはじめ体幹の幅広い筋肉を動かすことができる。筋肉を使うことによって、エネルギーを消費させ、筋肉を鍛えたり、体の調整を行ったりすることができる。このときに、筋肉に負荷はかかるが、その負荷は軽い負荷であるので、心拍数を抑え、心拍数が過度に上昇することを防止できる。 In other words, by performing exercises such as those described above, it is possible to move a wide range of muscles in the trunk, including legs, legs, and arms. By using muscles, you can consume energy, train muscles, and adjust your body. At this time, although a load is applied to the muscle, since the load is light, it is possible to suppress the heart rate and prevent the heart rate from rising excessively.
また、使用者の体の大きさの違いは、負荷の調整と同様にエクササイズバンド11を保持する位置の調節で対応可能である。つまり、一つのサイズのエクササイズバンド11があれば、多くの人の使用に供することができる。たとえば、内径D1が510mm、外径D2が514mm、幅Wが50mmのエクササイズバンド11(図3参照)であると、使用できる人の範囲が広い。
Also, the difference in the size of the user's body can be dealt with by adjusting the position where the
さらに、エクササイズバンド11は青色であるので、視覚を通じて気持ちを落ち着かせることもできる。心拍数の過剰な上昇を防ぐ運動には好適である。
Furthermore, since the
また、着座姿勢で運動を行うので、不測の転倒などを防止して、安全性を確保できる。 Also, since the exercise is performed in a sitting position, it is possible to prevent accidental falls and ensure safety.
このように、心拍数の過剰な上昇を防ぐ全身的な運動が安全に行え、運動負荷はウォーキング程度とすることができるので、たとえば、2型糖尿病の患者や健常者でも、特に、僅かでもインスリンが出て、インスリン投与の必要がない人が前述のエクササイズバンド11を用いて前述例の運動を行うと、血糖値の上昇のピークを下げることができ、糖尿病の進行や合併症の発症を防ぐことができる。
In this way, systemic exercise that prevents an excessive increase in heart rate can be performed safely, and the exercise load can be set to walking. Therefore, for example, even in patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy people, in particular, even a small amount of insulin If a person who does not need to administer insulin exercises as described above using the
2型糖尿病は、インスリンの分泌が低下する糖尿病である。食事後は血糖値が上がるが、インスリンが分泌されないと、糖分は細胞に行かず血中の糖分が増え、血糖値が上がる。しかし、筋肉を使うと、インスリンの分泌量が少なくても筋に血糖を取り込むホルモン(GLUT4)の分泌が増加し、糖分が細胞に取り込まれるきっかけとなる。ただし、筋肉をはげしく動かし、心拍数が上昇しすぎると交感神経が興奮しアドレナリンが分泌されて、血糖値を上げてしまうことになる。 型 Type 2 diabetes is diabetes in which insulin secretion decreases. After eating, the blood sugar level rises, but if insulin is not secreted, the sugar does not go to the cells and the sugar in the blood increases and the blood sugar level rises. However, when muscle is used, even if the amount of insulin secreted is small, secretion of a hormone that takes blood sugar into the muscle (GLUT4) increases, which causes sugar to be taken into cells. However, if you move your muscles violently and your heart rate rises too much, your sympathetic nerves get excited and adrenaline is secreted, which increases your blood sugar.
血糖の上昇にはこのようなメカニズムがあるため、心拍数の上がりにくい軽い運動を行うと、血糖の上昇を抑えるようにコントロールすることができる。 ¡Since there is such a mechanism for the increase in blood sugar, it can be controlled to suppress the increase in blood sugar by performing a light exercise that is difficult to increase the heart rate.
具体的には、食事開始後所定時間、たとえば30分後から前述のようなウォーキング程度の運動を10分程度行うと、食事を摂取したことにより血糖は上昇するものの、筋肉の活動によって細胞に血糖をとりこむホルモン(GLUT4)の分泌を促し、血糖値の過度の上昇を防止することができる。つまり、血糖値上昇のピークを抑え、合併症の発症防止を図ることができる。 Specifically, if the above-mentioned walking exercise is performed for a predetermined time, for example, 30 minutes after the start of the meal, for about 10 minutes, the blood sugar rises due to the intake of the meal, but the muscle activity causes the blood glucose to It is possible to promote secretion of a hormone (GLUT4) that engulfes and prevents excessive increase in blood glucose level. That is, the peak of blood sugar level rise can be suppressed and the onset of complications can be prevented.
もちろん、エクササイズバンド11を用いての運動は、血糖値コントロールのほか、病後の回復や肩こり等の調整、筋力鍛錬など、様々な目的で行える。
Of course, exercise using the
また、前述の運動例では着座姿勢で行うものを示したが、起立姿勢で行うこともできる。 In addition, although the exercise example described above is performed in a sitting position, it can also be performed in a standing position.
図18は、他の例に係るエクササイズバンド11の断面を示している。前述のようにエクササイズバンド11は一定幅のテープ状で且つ環状であるが、図18に示したエクササイズバンド11のように、テープ状をなす幅方向の両側縁に、その他の部位よりも肉厚が厚い厚肉部11aを備えてもよい。厚肉部11aは、図18に示したようにエクササイズバンド11の片面に突出するものであるほか、両面に突出するものであってもよい。
FIG. 18 shows a cross section of the
厚肉部11aを片面に設ける場合には、エクササイズバンド11の外側面に設けるのが好ましい。エクササイズバンド11を手に取るときに厚肉部11aが指先に引っかかりとなるので、手先の感覚が鈍った人にも持ちやすい。また、厚肉部11aが外側にあり内側面が平らであることから、エクササイズバンド11を偏平にして持つときに内側面をぴったりときれいに重ね合わせた状態で持つことができ、負荷の掛かり方を安定させることができる。
When the
このような構成のエクササイズバンド11でも、前述と同様の作用効果が得られる。特に、厚肉部11aが繰り返し伸び縮みさせられるエクササイズバンド11の耐久性を高める。
