Grip strength detection mechanism, exercise apparatus provided with grip strength detection mechanism, and method for using exercise apparatus

Abstract

Provided are a grip strength detection mechanism, an exercise apparatus provided with the same , and a method for using the same. The exercise apparatus is provided with: a grip part 12 comprising a cylindrical flexible member; sealing members 13, 16 which seal both ends of the grip part 12 to form a deformable sealed space 18 which is surrounded by the grip part 12; a pressure sensor 28 which isheld by the sealing member 16 and detects the pressure within the sealed space 18; and a control unit which detects , as the pressure within the grip part , a reference grip strength which is not morethan the maximum grip strength detected by the pressure sensor 28 in order to display, on a display unit 7 , the grip strength of a user gripping the grip part 12.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a grip strength detection mechanism applicable to sports equipment, a sports equipment with the grip strength detection mechanism, and a method for using the sports equipment. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, in the measurement of grip strength, a pair of handles held facing each other is held, and the weight between the changing handles is measured according to the principle of a spring balance to measure the grip strength. Regarding the measuring device for grip strength, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a structure in which a grip portion having a closed space is formed by a flexible member, and the grip force is measured by measuring the pressure in the closed space that changes when the grip portion is gripped. . [0003] However, it has been reported that training through grip strength-based management can prevent blood pressure drops or hypertension. Therefore, it is considered that it can be ap...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the pronunciation-type fingertip function recovery exercise device described in the above-mentioned patent document 3 has the problem that it is difficult to adjust the hardness of the elastic plate. If the elastic plate is too hard, it cannot be grasped without deformation. Flexible panels that are too soft for moderate movement

In addition, there is also the trouble of replacing the fixed elastic plate for each adjustment

[0007] In addition, for the improvement of high blood pressure, there is a problem that it is necessary to exercise for a long time using the exercise equipment for restoring fingertip function.
