Training device for training individual muscle groups in the upper body

Abstract

The invention relates to a training device (1) for training individual muscle groups in the upper body, comprising a support frame (2) and a training unit (3), wherein the training unit (3) has an upper body support element (4) and a seat (5) which is movable on an arcuate path relative to the upper body support element (4) in such a way that, when the upper body is resting on the upper body support element (4), the pelvis can be moved in a pendulum-like manner counter to an adjustable counterforce that acts in at least one direction of movement, wherein the seat (5) is designed in such a way that only the gluteal region is supported and no elements for supporting the legs or feet are arranged on the training device (1).

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to German patent application number 10 2020 124 398.7, filed on Sep. 18, 2020, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a training device for training specific individual muscle groups in the upper body, wherein, during training, a seat is moved relative to an upper body support element counter to a counterforce acting in at least one direction of movement.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A large number of training devices for various muscle groups in the human body are already known. However, simultaneous training of a large number of muscle groups has the disadvantage that only some of these muscle groups exert the bulk of the force necessary to execute the movement, and other muscle groups are therefore not stimulated and trained with sufficient intensity.[0004]A lack of adequately trained deeper muscles often leads to ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The training device helps prevent incorrect exercise movements and encourages correct execution of the movements. This improves muscle training in the lumbar region and leads to more effective stimulation of deeper muscles. Its design makes it easier for people to perform the exercise movements correctly and get the most benefit from the training.

Problems solved by technology

However, simultaneous training of a large number of muscle groups has the disadvantage that only some of these muscle groups exert the bulk of the force necessary to execute the movement, and other muscle groups are therefore not stimulated and trained with sufficient intensity.

A lack of adequately trained deeper muscles often leads to significant health problems, as the joints are not adequately supported by the muscles.

A disadvantage here is that the deep muscles at the hip joint are not specifically targeted.

This muscle group requires special attention because many people have underdeveloped muscles in this region due to frequent long periods of sitting, which can lead to significant pain.

A disadvantage is that the exercise to strengthen the muscles in the lumbar region using this device is often performed incorrectly by the person exercising, which jeopardises the success of the training.

A particular problem here is that muscle groups other than those in the lumbar region are used to move the seat against a certain force.

This requires a lot of time and expense.
