Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment technology, specifically to a latissimus dorsi stretching machine. Background Technology
[0002] A latissimus dorsi stretching machine is a fitness device used to strengthen back muscles and improve posture. This device consists of two handles or grips that can move in a scissor-like motion, allowing the user to exercise their back muscles by pulling on these handles. Through specific stretching movements, it effectively works the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, trapezius, and other back muscle groups, thereby increasing muscle strength and endurance.
[0003] When using a latissimus dorsi stretching machine, the initial resistance is high, requiring the user to overcome inertia from a stationary position. At this point, the user's arms are extended, resulting in relatively low power output, necessitating significant effort to pull the machine. As the pull-down continues, the resistance gradually decreases, and the user's power output increases, making the pull feel easier than at the beginning. To facilitate a smooth start to the pull-down, a lighter load is needed. However, reducing the training load may lead to insufficient load for later training, affecting training effectiveness. Therefore, a trainer that can adjust its load according to the training movement is needed, reducing the difficulty of starting the pull-down without compromising later training results.
