Musclar strength increasing system and pressurizing force control device of musclar strength increasing tool

Abstract

To provide a muscle strength increasing system that is configured to allow more effective muscle development without any extra effort of a wearer. A muscle strength increasing system has a muscle strength increasing device 10 and a compression pressure control unit 20. The muscle strength increasing device 10 includes a tight fitting band 1 having a tube provided therein and a fixing unit 7 for keeping the diameter of a loop formed by the tight fitting band 1. A pressure muscle training method is performed by introducing the air into the tube to apply, with the tight fitting band 1 being wrapped around a predetermined range to be compressed of a limb and fastened with the fixing unit 7, a predetermined compression pressure to the limb around which the tight fitting band 1 is wrapped, thereby restricting the blood flow. The compression pressure control unit 20 controls a built-in pump 2 to automatically control the compression pressure within a range that does not exceed a preset compression pressure.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to system and device for use in muscle development. More particularly, the present invention relates to muscle strength development system and device suitable for a pressure muscle training method that allows healthy people as well as people having motor abnormalities to increase their muscle strength in an effective manner. BACKGROUND ART [0002] The present inventor has conducted studies for some time in order to work out a muscle training method for easy, safe, and effective muscle development, and put together the accomplishments into a patent application having Japanese Patent Application No. 5-313949, which has been granted as Japanese Patent No. 2670421. [0003] The muscle training method according to the subject patent, which involves the application of pressure, was a distinctive non-conventional one called a “Pressure Muscle Training Method”. This muscle training method is based on the following theoretical concept. [0004]...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a muscle strength increasing system for developing muscles of a wearer by restricting blood flow through applying a predetermined compression pressure to the limb. The system includes a muscle strength increasing device with a compressing member for tightening and compressing muscles and a compression pressure controller for controlling the compression pressure. The controller automatically controls the compression pressure to ensure that it does not exceed a preset critical compression pressure. The system can be used safely and easily without requiring special technical knowledge or motor abnormalities. The compression pressure controller can set the critical compression pressure based on the preference and need of the wearer and the maximum value of the compression pressure can be set without exceeding the critical compression pressure. The system also includes a compression pressure controller that can control the time interval during which the compression pressure is applied to the wearer to improve safety."

Problems solved by technology

Slow-twitch muscle fibers are limited in their potential for growth.

This recruitment of the fast-twitch muscle fibers requires a significant amount of exercises, is time-consuming, and tends to increase the burden on muscles and joints.

This requires a significant amount of exercises, is time-consuming, and tends to increase the burden on muscles and joints.

In addition, restriction of the blood flow by application of pressure makes the lactic acid built up in the muscles less likely to be removed from the muscles.

The compression force is controlled to put an appropriate stress attributed to blood flow decrease on the muscles, thereby causing muscle fatigue.

However, such a muscle strength increasing device also has a challenge to be solved.

However, this management is difficult for those having no advanced knowledge.

In addition, to practice the pressure muscle training method should have a trouble if it can be used only under the control of a person who has advanced knowledge.

Furthermore, when the aforementioned management is performed by the wearer himself or herself, this causes an extra effort for the wearer who uses the pressure muscle training method.

He or she cannot concentrate the training or rehabilitation to develop his or her muscles, which may sometimes prevent efficient training.

However, an action to do the aforementioned management itself may be a burden for those who have motor abnormalities or those requiring rehabilitation.
