[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, a weighted training vest includes: a vest body 1, with a first side 2 and a second side 3 fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the vest body 1, the first side 2 and the second side 3 being disposed on the waist of both sides of the vest body 1, and two connectors 4 disposed on the outer side wall of the first side 2, the ends of the two connectors 4 away from the first side 2 being fixedly connected to the second side 3 through a connecting component, the two connectors 4 being disposed on the front and back of the vest body 1 respectively, and multiple counterweights 5 being disposed on the connectors 4, the counterweights 5 being fixedly connected to the connectors 4 through a fixing mechanism;

[0026] The fixing mechanism includes multiple elastic bands 6 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connector 4. The multiple elastic bands 6 are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom on the connector 4. The bottom of the counterweight 5 passes through the multiple elastic bands 6 and extends downward. The bottom and top of the counterweight 5 are respectively provided with a first fixing component and a second fixing component. A buffer component is provided between the connector 4 and the vest body 1.

[0027] As can be seen from the above, through the combined use of connector 4 and fixing mechanism, the counterweight 5 is stably fixed to connector 4, avoiding the problem of skin pressure caused by the traditional weighted vest directly tightening and fixing the counterweight 5 to the vest body 1. The design of elastic band 6 makes the counterweight 5 have a certain elasticity while being fixed, adapting to different body shapes and exercise states, improving wearing comfort and stability. At the same time, the presence of cushioning component effectively relieves the direct pressure of counterweight 5 on the body and enhances the breathability of the vest, avoiding skin discomfort and poor blood circulation caused by prolonged use.

[0028] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned first and second fixing components, refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first fixing component includes a bottom pocket 7, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connector 4 and located directly below the elastic band 6. The bottom of the counterweight 5 is inserted into the bottom pocket 7.

[0029] A first magnet 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the counterweight bar 5, and a second magnet 12 that matches the first magnet 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bottom pocket 7. The first magnet 11 and the second magnet 12 are magnetically connected.

[0030] The second fixing component includes a fixing strip 8 fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the connector 4. The outer wall of the fixing strip 8 is fixedly disposed with a plurality of first Velcro tabs 9 in a number that matches the counterweight strip 5. The plurality of first Velcro tabs 9 are equidistant from each other and are matched with the spacing between the counterweight strips 5. The outer wall of the counterweight strip 5 is fixedly disposed with a first Velcro female tab 10 that matches the first Velcro tabs 9.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, the use of the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 12 not only ensures a firm fixation but also facilitates quick installation and disassembly, improving ease of use. The use of the first Velcro tab 9 and the first Velcro tab 10 fixes the top of the counterweight bar 5, further enhancing the fixing effect of the counterweight bar 5 and preventing displacement or shaking of the counterweight bar 5 during high-intensity exercise, thus improving the stability and safety of training. This multi-fixing method makes the installation and disassembly of the counterweight bar 5 more flexible.

[0032] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned buffer components, please refer to... Figure 3 As shown, the cushioning assembly includes two cushioning pads 16 fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the vest body 1. The two cushioning pads 16 are respectively fixedly disposed on the front and back of the vest body 1, and multiple ventilation holes 17 are provided on the cushioning pads 16.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, the design of the cushioning pad 16 effectively relieves the pressure of the weight bar 5 on the body, while the ventilation holes 17 enhance the breathability of the vest, making it more comfortable to wear, especially suitable for long-term training. This design not only improves the comfort of wearing, but also reduces the problem of poor blood circulation caused by pressure, thus improving the user experience.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting assembly includes a fixing member 13 fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the connector 4, and the fixing member 13 is disposed at the end of the connector 4 away from the first side 2.

[0036] Multiple second hook-and-loop fasteners 14 are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the fastener 13, and multiple second hook-and-loop fasteners 15 that are adapted to the second hook-and-loop fasteners 14 are fixedly provided on the outer wall of the second side 3.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the second Velcro tab 14 and the second Velcro tab 15 work together to make the connector 4 stably fixed on the vest body 1, while facilitating quick disassembly and installation. This design not only improves the stability and safety of the vest, but also allows users to adjust the load configuration of the vest according to training intensity and needs, meeting the personalized needs of different users.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
