Embodiment Construction

[0020]The present invention provides in some embodiments, a device for stretching muscles having a series of loops. The device can be formed from strips of elastic material periodically joined in order to form loops. More particularly, a top portion of elastic material can be laid on top of a bottom portion of elastic material. The top and bottom portions of materials can be joined in a variety of ways. A user of the device can engage different body parts with the loops and use the device to facilitate a dynamic stretch of a muscle. Dynamic stretching involves active contraction of the muscle prior to the stretch.

[0021]The invention will now be described with reference to the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout. FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of a stretch strap device 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The stretch strap device 10 includes a base portion 12 and a top portion 14. The base portion 12 can be formed ...

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to an exercise device. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a strap for performing dynamic stretching.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Stretching and flexibility training has long been incorporated into athletic training in order to help prevent injury, enhance performance, and rehabilitate muscles after injury or surgery. Stretching has also become a part of a well-rounded physical activity program, along with cardiovascular exercise and strength training. Both muscle fibers and the tissues surrounding those fibers (“fascia”) have viscoelastic properties. Stretching soft tissues increases the length of the muscle fibers and to some extent the fascia. A single stretching session can improve a person's short-term range of motion, but these results are short-lived. It has been found that repeated stretching sessions over time provide the best sustained elongation of soft tissue. Indeed, the American Co...
