Description

MODULAR TRAINING SYSTEM TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention falls within the technical field of sports training, with specific application in methods and devices for optimizing physical performance. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system that combines aspects of aerobic training with combat sports practices, allowing interaction between aerobic exercises, such as running, and combat techniques, such as boxing, promoting improved cardiovascular endurance while enhancing specific technical skills in combat sports. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Sports training aimed at improving physical performance in combat sports has seen significant development with the popularization of mixed martial arts (MMA). On the other hand, more popular sports focusing on aerobic or cardiovascular activities, such as road running, have become increasingly common. Despite the popularity of both modalities, they develop separately.

[0003] Conventional aerobic training involves activities such as running, cycling, and swimming, which focus on improving cardiovascular and pulmonary endurance, as well as optimizing calorie-burning capacity. On the other hand, training specific to combat sports, such as boxing, mixed martial arts, and other fighting disciplines, focuses primarily on developing strength, speed, agility, precision, and specific combat techniques.

[0004] Although systems and methods exist that combine some aspects of aerobic training with combat practices, such approaches generally lack proper and personalized integration. that simultaneously meets the physical and technical requirements of both types of training.

[0005] A common complaint among runners, especially beginners, is that training becomes monotonous. This monotony often leads runners to lose focus and motivation, making it difficult to maintain concentration throughout the workout. Therefore, incorporating varied activities during the run, such as changes in pace, motor coordination exercises, or even light combat movements, can transform the workout into a more dynamic and stimulating experience. These variations not only break the repetition but also challenge the brain to adapt, promoting greater engagement and concentration. Furthermore, performing tasks while running stimulates the nervous system, improving cognitive ability and mental agility.

[0006] Therefore, the state of the art would benefit from a system that not only combines aerobic training with combat sports, but also integrates these two components in an interactive and dynamic way, maximizing the benefits for the user's overall physical conditioning and technical skill.

[0007] Given the problems encountered in the state of the art, the present invention aims to integrate combat and aerobic modalities, offering a system that allows the practice of both modalities simultaneously in a simple way and that can be easily installed, even on existing equipment. OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION

[0008] In order to solve the problems of the state of the art, it is an objective of the present invention to offer a solution that allows the practice of combat movements such as punches during aerobic activity.

[0009] It is also an objective of the present invention to offer a solution that is easy to install and can be integrated into existing aerobic training equipment.

[0010] Another objective of the present invention is to offer a system that can be programmed to provide greater interaction with the user. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0011] In order to achieve the stated objectives, the present invention describes a modular training system comprising at least one handgrip with a joint, which may have height adjustment, to move said handgrip vertically and adjust its height, in which the handgrip is fixed to a structure, which promotes integration between aerobic and combat training. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0012] The subject matter of the present invention will become fully clear in its technical aspects from the detailed description that will be made based on the figures below, in which: Figure 1 shows a front view of an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 shows a front view of an embodiment of the present invention installed on a treadmill; and Figure 4 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] In accordance with the aforementioned objectives and the figures presented, the present invention relates to a MODULAR TRAINING SYSTEM (1) comprising at least one handle (10) having a joint (11) and which may have a height adjustment to move said handle (10) vertically, allowing the height adjustment of the same, in which the handle (10) is fixed to a structure (20).

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the articulation (11) is moved by a motor, preferably a stepper motor, or even a motor and gearbox assembly, so that the pivoting movement of the handle (10) can be controlled in both speed and position, wherein said movement can be a vertical pivoting movement (A) or a horizontal pivoting movement (B). Additionally, the linear vertical movement of the handle (10) can be done automatically, preferably by a rack and pinion.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the structure (20) has a support base (22) so that the structure can stand upright. Optionally, the structure (20) can be coupled directly to aerobic training equipment, such as a treadmill (E), or mounted together with it, as shown in figure 3, for example.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4, the system (1) has a mounting cage (30) that is fixed to the conveyor belt and allows linear movement (C), this movement can be performed through the movement mechanism (31), providing another degree of movement to the system (1). In the exemplary embodiment of Figure 4, the mounting cage (30) has two structural arches (32), may have two safety bars (33) and has an upper bar (34), through which... moves the motion mechanism (31). In this embodiment the handles (10) are mounted on a handle support (35). As in other embodiments of the present invention, the handles (10) can move linearly in the vertical, in addition to vertical and horizontal pivoting movements (A, B).

[0017] For the modes in which the vertical and horizontal pivoting movements (A, B), the linear vertical movement of the handle (10) or the linear movement (C) are performed manually, a technician in the field is able to select the best way to lock the movement, whether by spring pin, threaded locking, ratchet system or others.

[0018] Furthermore, the handle (10) can be equipped with sensors, such as an accelerometer, to detect the user's touch, in order to register and indicate the strike performed. Optionally, the handle (10) can have a light signal to show which handle (10) should be struck or to demonstrate that it has been struck correctly. Another possibility is the use of different colors or intensities to demonstrate the intensity of the strike performed.

[0019] The system (1) can have a program or be programmed so that the handles (10) move, changing their position, providing greater dynamics to the training, as well as determining which handle (10) should be struck, and can also add points for successful strikes. In this way, during aerobic training, the user needs to remain focused to perform movements to strike the handles (10).

[0020] The system (1) may have more than one handle (10) on each side and may also have handles with different shapes, further increasing the user's need for concentration and enabling greater training possibilities.

[0021] 0 system (1) can also be integrated with applications or programs that “gamify” training, further increasing the system’s interaction with the user and allowing the user to accumulate points and track their progress in training.

[0022] As noted, the system (1) presents a solution for integrating aerobic and combat activity, providing strength and cognitive activity during cardiovascular training. Making the training more attractive and additionally improving the effectiveness of the training.

[0023] It should be understood that the present description does not limit the application to the details described herein and that the invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or performed in a variety of ways, within the scope of the claims. Although specific terms have been used, such terms should be interpreted in a generic and descriptive sense, and not for the purpose of limitation.
