A training device for performing exercises in a lying position

Abstract

This utility model relates to physical education and sports and can be used as a training device in gyms, as well as at home and in physical therapy rooms. The training device comprises a frame with two posts, one fixed and the other movable, and a bendable work surface attached to the frame via hinged joints. It also comprises a lever with a handle attached to the movable post and equipped with a locking device in the form of a pin located on the movable end of the lever and holes for securing the pin located on the fixed post along the trajectory of the lever's movement along the post.This reduces the time required to change the curvature of the exercise machine's working surface, reduces the amount of muscular effort required for this operation, and simplifies achieving the desired result, which leads to minimal disruption to the training regimen in cases where training conditions require a change in the curvature of the exercise machine's working surface. 1 fig.

Description

[0001] This utility model relates to sports and physical therapy, specifically to devices for performing strength exercises in a supine position. It can be used in sports and fitness clubs, as well as in medical and sports clinics.

[0002] Athletic exercises performed in a supine position, with weights or using cable machines, target the upper body muscles and improve the mobility of the thoracic, shoulder, and spinal joints. Optimal results can be achieved by using a training device with a curved work surface. The degree of curvature of the work surface is crucial for achieving the desired results and can vary for different exercisers depending on their height, weight, and the goal at hand.

[0003] The closest in terms of the combination of features and the achieved result is a training device for performing exercises with external resistance in a lying position [RU 104470, IPC A23 B23 / 00, 2011], which includes a frame with two posts, one of which is made fixed, and the second is made movable, and a working surface made with the possibility of bending, fixed on the frame with the help of hinged joints, in which the amount of bending of the working surface is adjusted with the help of a threaded regulator, on which one of the ends of the curved working surface is located.

[0004] The well-known training device has the disadvantage that the use of a threaded regulator to adjust the curvature of the working surface leads to an unjustified waste of time and muscle effort in adjusting the curvature, which is a violation of the training regime.

[0005] The result that the utility model is aimed at achieving is to simplify the operation of the device.

[0006] The said result is achieved in that the training device for performing exercises in a lying position, including a frame with two posts, one of which is made fixed and the second is made movable, and a working surface made with the possibility of bending, fixed to the frame using hinged joints, additionally contains a lever fixed to the movable post and provided with a lock made in the form of a pin placed on the movable end of the lever, and holes for fixing it, placed on the fixed post along the trajectory of the lever movement along the said post.

[0007] The device is shown in Fig.1.

[0008] The device includes a frame 1 with a fixed post 2 and a post 3 fixed to the frame 1 so as to be able to move along the frame 1 by means of a hinge joint 4. A work surface 5 capable of bending is placed on posts 2 and 3. The work surface 5 is fixed to posts 2 and 3 by means of hinge joints 6. A lever 7 is mounted on the post 2, installed so as to be able to move along the frame 1, at the free end of which a cylindrical opening is located, in which a lock 8 is placed, made in the form of a cylindrical pin with a spherical handle. The free end of the lock 8 enters holes 9 for its fixation, located on the fixed post 2 along the trajectory of the lever movement along the said post. The device also includes a seat 10, located below the work surface. The lever 7 ends with a handle 11, designed to change its tilt.Additionally, the device may include a belt for fixing the lumbar region of the person exercising, attached to the working surface 5, and a headrest mounted with the possibility of movement on the working surface 5.

[0009] The device operates as follows.

[0010] To increase the curvature of the working surface, the user presses on the handle 11 of the lever 7 from above and fixes the selected curvature by inserting the lock 8 into one of the holes 9. To decrease the curvature of the working surface, the pressure on the handle 11 of the lever 7 is applied in the direction from bottom to top.

[0011] This reduces the time required to change the curvature of the working surface of the exercise machine, reduces the amount of muscular effort required for this operation, simplifies the achievement of the desired result, thereby achieving minimal disruption to the training regime in cases where the training conditions require a change in the curvature of the working surface.
