Description

DescriptionTitle of Invention : Integrated Suspension Training EquipmentTechnical Field

[0001] This invention applies to such fields as rehabilitation, sports training and physiotherapy and enables users to perform a wide set of the movements of this area.Background Art

[0002] Tools with straps and bands without elasticity used in TRX and Aerial for instance and tools with elastic features applied in 4Dpro and Bungee Fitness. Each of them have advantages and disadvantages and by applying them certain exercises can be designed. As with TRX, due to physical feature of straps, athletes get out of breath more quickly than 4Dpro and bungee fitness and cannot use their maximum strength in a short period of time.

[0003] They need a high level of fitness too. On the other hand, compared to 4Dpro and bungee fitness, TRX is much safer. However, 4Dpro and bungee fitness tools are elastic and stretchy and due to this feature, trainees are able to use their maximum strength and because the movements are pleasurable and joyful, they do not get tired quickly.

[0004] We can overcome gravity with 4Dpro and bungee fitness tools and their elasticity enables us to move freely in the air. Bun unfortunately, they are not as safe as TRX tools. Considering the upside and downside of each tool, we can design exclusive and effective exercises related to that tool only. Interestingly, now thanks to the functions of the integrated suspension training equipment and the use of elastic bands and straps together, we can benefit all their potential and minimize their shortcomings.

[0005] Of course, due to the presence of an elastic band specially in the lower part of the body and the presence of an elastic band for upper body movements, it is possible to create specialized movements on the upper and lower body muscles, and by using the strap next to the elastic band, we can help the elderly, the less skilled, the weak and children train in a safer environment. With this device, it ispossible to teach sports movements in a safer manner to those who have just started working out, and over time, as the athlete's skills and ability increase, the device's helping tools can be used less.

[0006] An application filed in USPTO by US7806814 number. This application discloses an exercise device comprises an inelastic portion having grips of different types. The device, which includes an anchor for fixing the device to a stationary object, is adjustable over a range of lengths, and that can provide resistance ranging from nearly zero to the full body weight of the user. The details of this invention and its use and the movements that can be performed with it are different from the claimed invention.Technical Problem

[0007] To perform a number of movements such as squats, many people do not have lower body nerve and muscle coordination. This device can be used in the safest environment to give the necessary training to beginners to perform the desired moves.

[0008] While performing suspension training, sportspersons are engaged in various plyometric (jumping) moves which place a great amount of stress on knees and lower back. Hence, this device arrays straps, knee bands and shoe covers in such a way that the severity of pressure on knees and waist is reduced and boosts the health of athletes.

[0009] Basically, in suspension training, we cannot afford to engage certain muscles exclusively, so special bands are used both in upper and lower body to solve this problem.

[0010] Many a person including the elderly, the injured or the feeble is not physically strong to perform sports movements. However, this can be made possible by means of harness and support.

[0011] Suspension training tools are of two types: elastic and non-elastic. More often than not elastic tools provide little safety for sportspersons. On the other hand, non-elastic tools get them out of breath more quickly and they are not able to use maximum energy. The good news is integration of these tools gives athletes the chance to work out with maximum stamina in a much safer environment.Solution to Problem

[0012] The integrated suspension training equipment is an exercise device designed for sports and rehabilitation movements aiming at solving the above-mentioned problems with simultaneous use of bands, straps, harnesses, knee and ankle bands and shoe covers and creating a safe training environment for all walks of sportspeople including children, the injured, the elderly and weak, amateurs and professionals and making sure the outcome of training is increased physical strength, cardiovascular endurance and muscle size and acquisition of sports skills, etc.

[0013] In addition, this perfect device enables athletes to train full body or specific muscles. For this purpose, it is necessary to wear a vest, use the equipment installed on it, adjust it and create a tolerable difficulty for the person to enable him / her to perform the extensive exercises required for strengthening muscles and improving physical capabilities.

[0014] Lower torso muscles are trained by using side elastic straps and adjusting their pressure and upper torso muscles are trained by using the lower and upper handles and adjusting their pressure. This training equipment can be described as thorough because a wide variety of exercises can be done with it.Advantageous Effects of Invention

[0029] Fig 2: Tool components

[0030] Fig 3: Magnification of tool componentsDescription of Embodiments

[0031] According to pictures 1 to 3, the integrated suspension training device has the following components:

[0032] 1 . Yoke bar, 2. Connecting strap, 3. Karabiner, 4. Graded straps, 5. Upper handles, 6. Harness or vest, 7. Lower handles, 8. Ankle band, 9. Shoe cover, 10. Side straps, 11 . Knee band, 12. Karabiner connecting graded straps, 13. Karabiner connecting graded straps to elastic bands, 14. Bands holding the vest

[0033] The integrated suspension training equipment is an exercise device designed for sports and rehabilitation movements. First of all, the yoke bar (1 ) is placed in a proper spot and connecting strap (2) is attached to it and by means of karabiner (3) to graded straps (4).

[0034] There are three of these straps which are extended by means of karabiner connecting graded straps (12) and in turn are fastened to three clasps from which three harness or vest holder bands (14) are extended towards the harness or vest (6). Two graded straps are stretched towards the upper handles (5).

[0035] The straps are attached to elastic bands using karabiner (13) and finally handles are installed. Harness which is designed based on body anatomy is connected to holder bands and is adjustable too. Side straps (10) connect the vest to knee band (11 ), ankle band (8) and finally to shoe cover (9). Also, thereare two lower handles (7) in front of the vest and lower torso, similar to upper handles, for performing sports movements by hand.Examples

[0036] This equipment can be used as described below to train squat movements to beginner athletes:

[0037] We get the trainee to wear the vest, hold the handle of the free graded strap and lean on the band connected to the vest and easily do the squat. This may help the athlete learn the proper way of performing the movement.

[0038] To boost leg muscles, one must wear the vest, hold the handle and move off the floor and get in a position similar to pedaling. In this mode, holding the handle helps to strengthen the upper body muscles, and lateral bands help to strengthen the lower body muscles.Industrial Applicability

[0039] Among others, this invention can be applied in sports industry. It could also be conveniently employed in rehabilitation and physiotherapy clinics as well as homes.
