Benefits of technology

[0014]As an alternative to the above-mentioned embodiment, or in addition thereto, it is advantageously conceivable for a mechanical resistance device, in particular a brake or the like, to be used to introduce a preferably adjustable mechanical resistance to the movement of the arm part, hand part and/or knee part. Thus in particular for an active actuation of the arm part, hand part and/or knee part by the user through adjustment of a variable mechanical resistance, in particular a resistance pneumatic cylinder, a counter spring, an additional weight etc., to achieve a greater training effect to strengthen the muscles in the back, arm and leg regions to provide a sporting use of the training apparatus.
[0015]In accordance with a further advantageous embodiment of the invention at least one transverse element can be coupled to one or both arm or hand parts and/or one or both knee parts mechanically such that a preferably adjustable synchronized see-saw movement of the transverse element with the arm or hand part/knee part is achievable. In this case it is proposed that transverse elements that can undergo tilting or swivel motion transversely to the longitudinal axis of the training apparatus be coupled mechanically to a separately movable arm or hand part/knee part such that movement of the arm part or hand part brings about tilting of the transverse element, so that synchronously or adjustably to movement of the extremities a transverse inclination of the trunk region and thus the back is achieved, to achieve a close linkage of the movement sequences of the individual parts of the body and thus enable a finely-tuned adjustable movement for training of the back.
[0016]In a further advantageous development of the invention a device may be arranged above the reclining surface to apply a preferably adjustable pressure and/or heat to the back. Thus the back region can be influenced in a targe

Problems solved by technology

However, with the aid of the known training apparatus it is not possible to loosen the upper back region, in particular the neck and the shoulder region and to achieve targeted movement of the corresponding back areas.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]Components that are the same or similar in the Figures have the same reference numbers. The Figures show merely examples and are not to be understood as restrictive.

[0029]To illustrate the prior art FIG. 1 shows a generic training apparatus 101 of the prior art that is used for the training of the back musculature of a user 10. The user lies in a prone position on a reclining area 112 of a support surface 110 so that his back 20 faces upwards and is freely accessible to, for example, a masseur or a device, for example a heat-radiating device. The reclining area 112 extends along a longitudinal axis 30. The reclining area 112 is formed through a plurality of transverse elements 120 arranged sequentially on the longitudinal axis 30, wherein the transverse elements 120 are mounted pivotably about the longitudinal axis 30 to execute a see-saw movement. A separate head part 114 is provided to support the head 22 of the user and is preferably not in the form of a rocker, but is inst...

Abstract

A training apparatus is provided for training the back musculature of a user and includes a knee part to support one or both knees of the user and an arm part or hand part that is arranged relative to the knee part in such a way that the back region of the user, upon bracing of the knee against the knee part and bracing of the arms or hands against the arm part or hand part, is aligned in a substantially horizontal position along a longitudinal axis of the training apparatus, wherein the knee part and arm part or hand part are thus arranged below the back region of the user. The arm part or hand part for both arms or hands can be configured to be separately movable.

Description

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY[0001]The invention relates to a training apparatus, in particular for the training of the back muscles of a user.[0002]A large number of massage and training devices are known to relax and to train the spinal column region of a user. A training apparatus is known, for example, from DE 10 2007 032 148 B and U.S. Pat. No. 7,704,200 B which has a reclining area to support a user in a prone position, comprising a plurality of transverse elements arranged sequentially on a longitudinal axis of the training apparatus. The transverse elements are mounted about the longitudinal axis to execute a see-saw movement. Two knee parts are provided to support the knees of the user and are arranged below the reclining area and configured so that they are separately movable for each individual knee.[0003]This training apparatus described above enables training of the lower back region, in particular the pelvic region of a user, and enables movement of the lower back region thro...
