[0045] Implementation of the invention

[0046] 1. METHOD

[0047] In a first aspect, the invention relates to a method for developing human coordination and balance, according to which the following set is used: a pole, made with the possibility of changing the length of the pole and placing the end of the pole on a human limb; a set of rings of different diameters, made with the possibility of fixing the outer circumference of the ring on the other end of the pole in the same plane with the pole; a basket made with the possibility of containing a ball and placing it on a horizontal surface; a ball made with the possibility of passing through a ring; floor stands installed fixedly on a horizontal surface, with rings fixed with the outer circumference of the ring on the end of the floor stand opposite the floor surface in the same plane with the floor stand; and according to which the following exercises are sequentially performed: the "holding the pole" exercise, containing a sequential preparation stage, an execution stage and a complication stage;the exercise "throw", containing successive stages of preparation, execution and complication; the exercise "holding the pole and throw", containing successive stages of preparation, execution and complication.

[0048] 1.1. Exercise "holding the pole"

[0049] Pole holding is an exercise performed by using a pole that is designed to be mounted vertically on the end of a limb, such as a person's foot or palm, and in particular, secured to the limb using fastening elements, holding the pole in a vertical position suspended from one limb, and reducing the length of the pole to a specified minimum value.

[0050] 1.1.1. Preparation stage for the pole hold exercise

[0051] During the preparation stage of the pole holding exercise, the maximum specified length of the pole is set and the person stands at the specified placement height.

[0052] 1.1.2. The "Pole Hold" Exercise Stage. During the "pole hold" exercise stage, the person places a pole of a specified length vertically on their limb and then holds the limb in such a way that the pole remains vertical for the required holding time. The "pole hold" exercise stage is repeated until the person continuously holds the pole of the specified length on their limb for the required holding time.

[0053] When performing the pole hold exercise, the pole is subject to forces, specifically gravity and the inertial force generated by the movement of the limb holding the pole. This inertial force occurs because the limb does not remain stationary and makes micro-movements. Due to these forces, the pole begins to move away from the pole's centerline (hereinafter, the centerline of the pole refers to the vertical line running along the pole's vertical centerline) and loses its vertical position. The person must compensate for these forces by moving their limb so that the bottom of the pole, mounted on the limb, moves and the pole returns to its vertical position. Consequently, performing the pole hold increases reaction speed and body coordination.If the pole hold is successfully completed, the pole remains vertical for the set amount of time. If the pole hold is unsuccessful, the pole falls to the horizontal surface. Once the set hold time for a given pole length is reached, the pole's length is reduced by the set amount of time.

[0054] When a pole is suspended from one limb, the muscles of that limb and the stabilizer muscles responsible for body coordination (hereinafter, coordination refers to the ability to perform precise and controlled movements using the synchronized work of different muscle groups), particularly the core and back muscles, are increased. Muscle loading leads to strengthening and growth. Therefore, when a pole is suspended from one limb, the muscles of the limb involved and the stabilizer muscles, particularly the core and back muscles responsible for body coordination, are strengthened and grow. Therefore, strengthening and growth of the body's muscles ensures the development of body coordination.Furthermore, when performing an exercise that involves balance (hereinafter, body balance refers to the ability to maintain the body's center of mass in a stable and dynamic position) of a limb and / or body, particularly when a person stands on one leg and the other holds a pole vertically, stimuli are generated in the brain that activate neurons and form and strengthen neural connections responsible for the balance of the given limb and / or body, respectively. Strengthening the neural connection develops the skill or bodily function for which the neural connection is responsible. Specifically, strengthening the neural connection that occurs during limb and / or body balance develops limb and / or body balance; therefore, performing the exercise develops body balance.

[0055] Repeating the exercise as described above develops the muscles of the involved limb, the stabilizer muscles (specifically the core and back muscles), and the neural connections responsible for body balance. Consequently, performing the exercise develops body balance. However, repeating the pole hold exercise repeatedly increases the load on the muscles, leading to increased muscle fatigue with each subsequent repetition, increasing the difficulty of the exercise. Therefore, repeating the pole hold exercise increases the difficulty of the exercise with each subsequent repetition.

[0056] 1.1.3. The stage of complication of the exercise "holding the pole"

[0057] During the "pole hold" exercise progression phase, the pole length is reduced by the specified increment and the "pole hold" phase is repeated with the adjusted pole length. The "pole hold" progression phase is repeated until the minimum pole length is continuously held for the required pole hold time.

[0058] Specifically, as the pole length decreases, the height at which the person is positioned increases, and consequently, the height at which the person's limb is positioned increases. Increasing the height increases the person's mental stress, thereby increasing the difficulty of performing the "pole hold" exercise. The pole length varies from a length corresponding to the height of the person performing the "pole hold" exercise to 30 cm, with increments of 5 to 15 cm. The greater the increment, the greater the difficulty of the exercise. The minimum pole length was determined experimentally.

[0059] The pole hold time during the pole hold exercise ranges from 1 minute to 5 minutes, depending on the individual's fitness level. The range of pole hold times during the pole hold exercise was determined experimentally.

[0060] When the length of the pole L decreases during the execution of the exercise "holding the pole" when the pole is displaced from the equilibrium position - a vertical line passing along the pole, according to the formula of the moment of force M = F * L, the force that must be applied to return the pole to the equilibrium position increases, therefore, the difficulty of the exercise increases, in addition, the load on the muscles of the limb and the stabilizer muscles increases, therefore, muscle fatigue increases, therefore, as described above, the difficulty of performing the exercise increases, in addition, the rate of strengthening and growth of these muscles and the development of neural connections responsible for the control and precision of movement of human limbs increases.

[0061] Furthermore, when a shorter pole rotates relative to a vertical line passing along the pole, the circumference decreases, which increases the angular velocity of the pole's rotation, reducing the time until the pole falls, and thus shortening the reaction time to prevent the pole from falling. Consequently, reducing the pole's length increases the difficulty of this exercise.

[0062] Moreover, securing the pole reduces the pole's possible range of motion and decreases the force required to return the pole to equilibrium. Therefore, according to the torque formula described above, securing the pole reduces the exercise's difficulty. Specifically, reducing the exercise's difficulty is necessary for developing body balance in individuals with low levels of body balance. Therefore, performing the exercise with a shorter pole increases the difficulty of the "holding the pole" exercise.

[0063] 1.2. Throwing exercise

[0064] A throw is an exercise that uses a ball of a set diameter, designed to be thrown into a basket through a ring, a basket designed to be placed at a set distance between a person and the basket; when placing the basket, the basket is placed on a horizontal surface in a vertical position, increasing the distance between the person and the basket to a set maximum distance and accommodating the ball, and a set of rings of different diameters designed to be thrown through the holes of the rings of the ball.

[0065] 1.2.1. Preparation stage for the "throw" exercise

[0066] At the preparation stage of the "throw" exercise, the basket is placed on a horizontal surface at the minimum specified distance from the basket, then a ring of the maximum diameter from the set of rings is secured to the floor stand at the required height of the ring placement.

[0067] 1.2.2. The stage of performing the "throw" exercise

[0068] During the "throw" phase of the exercise, the person performs a specified number of wrist throws of the ball through the hoop so that the ball enters the basket, while holding the ball with the fingertips. The "throw" phase of the exercise is repeated until the specified number of wrist throws are performed without missing.

[0069] When performing the throw exercise, a person must align the imaginary line connecting the hoop and the basket opening with the ball's trajectory during the throw. They must also set the ball's trajectory and energy so that it travels along this imaginary line through the hoop and the basket opening. Consequently, performing the throw exercise improves throwing accuracy and body coordination. If the throw exercise is successful, the ball passes through the hoop and enters the basket opening. If the throw exercise is unsuccessful, the ball does not pass through the hoop and / or enters the basket opening.

[0070] Holding a ball with your fingertips increases the load on the hand and forearm muscles. As the load increases, muscles strengthen and grow. Therefore, holding a ball with your fingertips increases the rate of strengthening and growth of the hand and forearm muscles. In particular, these muscles are responsible for coordination, reaction speed, and balance. Therefore, strengthening and growing hand muscles helps develop coordination and balance and increases reaction speed.

[0071] When throwing, the load on the arm muscles increases. Consequently, as described above, the arm muscles strengthen and grow, which, as described above, develops coordination and balance, and increases the body's reaction speed. Furthermore, during the throwing exercise, stimuli are generated in the brain that activate neurons and form and strengthen neural connections responsible for the simultaneous, synchronous alignment of targets—the hole in the hoop and the hole in the basket—the alignment of targets with the ball's trajectory during the throw, and the execution of the wrist throw so that the ball passes through the hole in the hoop and the hole in the basket. Strengthening the neural connection develops the skill or bodily function for which the neural connection is responsible.In particular, by strengthening the neural connections responsible for the combination of goals, the relationship between goals and the trajectory of the ball when throwing and the execution of the throw, the precision of the hand movement and the synchronous work of different muscle groups develop, therefore, performing the exercise develops the coordination of the human body and the accuracy of the person when throwing.

[0072] Performing the throwing exercise, as described above, develops the arm muscles. However, as noted above, repeated repetitions of the exercise increase the load on the muscles, thus increasing muscle fatigue. Consequently, as noted above, performing the throwing exercise repeatedly increases the difficulty of the exercise with each subsequent repetition.

[0073] 1.2.3. The stage of complication of the exercise "throw"

[0074] To increase the difficulty of the "throw" exercise, the fixed ring is removed from the floor stand, a smaller-diameter ring from the set of rings is attached to the same height, and the "throw" exercise is repeated with the smaller-diameter ring. This "throw" exercise is repeated until a wrist shot is completed a specified number of times without missing, throwing the ball through a ring whose diameter is essentially equal to the ball's diameter. A ring diameter essentially equal to the ball's diameter means the diameter of the ball plus the clearance required for the ball to pass through the ring's opening.

[0075] The diameter of the ball used depends on the size of the hand of the person performing the throw. The ball diameter is chosen to allow the user to grip the ball with the fingers of one hand and perform a wrist throw. Specifically, the ball diameter should range from 3 to 10 cm.

[0076] The diameter of the rings is selected to ensure the ball passes through the ring opening when thrown, taking into account the individual's physical fitness, particularly the individual's level of throwing accuracy. Specifically, the ring set contains rings with diameters substantially equal to the ball's diameter, up to twice the ball's diameter. The ball diameter increment is selected from a range of 0.5 cm to 2 cm. The larger the increment, the greater the difficulty of the exercise. The increment is determined experimentally.

[0077] The distance between the basket and the person is selected in such a way as to maintain the ability to perform a wrist throw of the ball, in particular, the distance between the basket and the person is selected from the range from 50 cm to a distance equal to twice the height of the person performing the throw exercise.

[0078] The basket opening diameter is selected so as to retain the capacity to accommodate the ball when it is thrown through the hoop. Specifically, the basket opening diameter ranges from a diameter substantially equal to the ball's diameter to the diameter of the largest hoop in the set of hoop rings. By "substantially equal to the ball's diameter," we mean the ball's diameter plus the clearance required for the ball to pass through the basket opening. Specifically, this clearance is 1 cm.

[0079] The hoop's mounting height is selected to ensure a wrist shot of the ball through the hoop into the basket. Specifically, the hoop's mounting height ranges from half a person's height to a height equal to a person's height. The hoop's mounting height is determined experimentally.

[0080] The number of throws is determined experimentally, specifically within a range of 10 to 20 hits. Increasing the distance between the person and the basket increases the distance the ball must travel before hitting the basket, thus increasing the energy required to transfer it to the ball. According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy received by the ball during a wrist throw is equal to the work performed by the person's arm. According to the formula for work-force, A = F * s, to increase the work performed by the arm, it is necessary to increase the force with which the arm acts on the ball and makes the throw, or to increase the distance the arm travels. Increasing the force with which the arm acts on the ball and makes the throw, according to Newton's third law, increases the load on the arm, therefore increasing the load on the arm muscles. Consequently, as described above, muscle fatigue increases with each subsequent repetition, thus increasing the difficulty of the throwing exercise.As the distance the arm travels during a throw increases, the range of motion of the arm increases. Increasing the range of motion of a muscle increases the rate of strengthening and growth of the muscle, and therefore, as described above, accelerates the development of human body coordination. Furthermore, increasing the range of motion increases the load on the muscle, and therefore, as noted above, increases muscle fatigue, thus increasing the difficulty of the throwing exercise.

[0081] In this case, when the diameter of the ring decreases, the area of ​​the ring decreases, therefore, the area of ​​impact of the ball when thrown decreases, therefore, the number of possible trajectories of the ball leading to the ball hitting when thrown decreases, therefore, the difficulty of performing the exercise increases.

[0082] 1.3. Exercise "holding the pole and throwing"

[0083] Upon successful completion of the "pole hold" exercise with the established minimum pole length and the "throw" exercise with a ring diameter substantially equal to the ball diameter, the "pole hold and throw" exercise is performed. By "pole hold and throw," we mean the diameter of the ball plus the clearance required to move the ball through the opening of the basket.

[0084] The pole hold and throw exercise is an exercise that combines the pole hold exercise, which, as described above, develops reaction speed, coordination and balance of the human body, and the throw exercise, which, as described above, develops reaction speed, coordination of the human body and the accuracy of the throw, while the ring through which the ball must be thrown with one hand is fixed on the pole, which must be held in a vertical position with the opposite hand or foot.To perform the exercise, a ball is used, which is designed to be thrown into a basket through a ring, pass through the opening of the ring and be placed in the basket; a basket designed to be placed at a set distance between a person and the basket, designed with the ability to increase the distance between the person and the basket to a set maximum distance and accommodate the ball; a pole designed to be mounted on the foot and / or palm of a person, remain in a vertical position and reduce the length of the pole to a set value; and a set of removable rings of different diameters, designed to allow the ball to be thrown through the openings of the rings.

[0085] Moreover, performing an exercise that combines exercises that develop reaction speed, coordination, and balance, as well as throwing accuracy, engages different muscle groups and, as described above, increases the difficulty of the exercise. When performing the "holding the pole and throwing" exercise, different muscle groups and different neural connections are simultaneously engaged, increasing the load on the body and the amount of information processed by the brain, thus increasing the difficulty of the exercise. Furthermore, performing the "holding the pole and throwing" exercise increases the rate of development of reaction speed, coordination, balance, and throwing accuracy.

[0086] 1.3.1. Preparation stage for the pole holding and throw exercise

[0087] At the preparation stage of the "holding the pole and throwing" exercise, the basket is placed on a horizontal surface at a minimum distance from the basket, allowing for a wrist throw of the ball. A ring of the maximum diameter from a set of rings is attached to the end of the pole, and the maximum specified length of the pole is set.

[0088] 1.3.2. The stage of performing the exercise "holding the pole and throwing"

[0089] During the "pole holding and throw" phase of the exercise, a person places a pole of a set length in a vertical position on their limb and then holds the limb in such a way that the pole maintains a vertical position for the required time of holding the pole and, at the same time, the person performs a wrist throw of a ball through a ring fixed to the pole a specified number of times in such a way that the ball enters the basket, while the person holds the ball with the fingertips; the "pole holding" phase of the exercise is repeated until the person holds a pole of a set length on the limb continuously for the required time of holding the pole and, at the same time, performs a wrist throw of the ball a specified number of times without missing, while throwing the ball through a ring whose diameter is essentially equal to the diameter of the ball.

[0090] During the "pole hold and throw" exercise, the pole is subject to forces, specifically gravity and the inertial force generated by the movement of the limb holding the pole. This inertial force arises because the limb does not remain stationary and makes micro-movements. Due to these forces, the pole begins to move away from the pole's centerline and loses its vertical position. The person must compensate for these forces by moving their limb so that the bottom of the pole, mounted on the limb, moves and the pole returns to its vertical position. Simultaneously, the person must align the imaginary line connecting the ring opening and the basket opening with the trajectory of the ball during the throw, and then set the ball's trajectory and energy so that it passes along this imaginary line through the ring opening and the basket opening.Therefore, performing the "pole hold and throw" exercise improves throwing accuracy, reaction time, coordination, and body balance. If the "pole hold and throw" exercise is successful, the ball passes through the ring and enters the basket, and the pole remains upright for the set amount of time. If the "pole hold and throw" exercise is unsuccessful, the ball fails to pass through the ring and / or enters the basket, and the pole falls to the horizontal surface.

[0091] 1.3.3. The stage of complication of the exercise "holding the pole and throwing"

[0092] During the "pole hold and throw" exercise progression, the fixed ring is removed from the pole, a smaller-diameter ring from a set of rings is attached at the same height, the pole's length is reduced by the specified increment, and the "pole hold and throw" exercise progression is repeated with the modified, established pole length. The "pole hold and throw" progression is repeated until the user can continuously hold the minimum-length pole for the required pole hold time and simultaneously perform a wrist toss of the ball a specified number of times without missing, throwing the ball through a ring whose diameter is substantially equal to the diameter of the ball. A ring diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the ball means the diameter of the ball plus the clearance required for the ball to pass through the opening of the ring.

[0093] Decreasing the diameter of the ring, decreasing the length of the pole and repeating the "hold the pole and throw" exercise multiple times increases the difficulty of performing the exercise, as described above.

[0094] 2. EQUIPMENT

[0095] The claimed method utilizes a pole 1, capable of being mounted on a person's foot and / or palm, varying the pole's length, and remaining in a vertical position, a ball capable of being thrown with a wrist, a basket capable of containing the ball, a set of rings 3 of different diameters capable of being secured to the pole, and a set of floor stands 6 with a ring 3 mounted thereon. The claimed elements are capable of gradually increasing the complexity of the exercises performed. In the first exercise, aimed at developing balance, use is made of a pole 1 capable of varying the pole's length and increasing the height of the arm and / or leg to which the pole 1 is secured. In the second exercise, aimed at developing coordination, use is made of a ball, a basket capable of increasing the distance between the basket and the person, and a set of rings 3 of different diameters.

[0096] 2.1. Pole

[0097] Pole 1 is designed as an elongated rod with a flat end on one side, allowing it to be placed on a surface, including on a limb. Pole 1 is made of two parts connected by fastener 2. Fastener 2 is designed to connect the two parts of pole 1; in particular, fastener 2 is designed as a threaded nut connecting the two halves of pole 1. Fastener 2 is provided with a hinge allowing one part of pole 1 to tilt relative to the other. Using pole 1 with an inclined part increases the difficulty of the exercise due to the shift in the center of mass and the increase in the force required to maintain the pole in the equilibrium position according to the torque formula, as described above.

[0098] Pole 1 is designed to be shortened in length. This capability, as described above, allows for increasing the difficulty of the exercise. Specifically, pole 1 is made of two parts, one of which extends to the required length. Specifically, pole 1 is telescopic.

[0099] The pole 1 is designed with the possibility of attaching a ring 3 to the end part of the pole 1. The said design provides the possibility of simultaneously performing the exercise "holding the pole" and the exercise "throwing" or performing a combined exercise "holding the pole and throwing", therefore, the number of exercises that can be performed using the stated set increases, therefore, the arsenal of exercises performed is expanded.

[0100] Specifically, pole 1 is designed with a pole mount 5 for securing pole 1 to a person's hand or foot, reducing the difficulty of the exercise. Securing pole 1 reduces the pole's possible range of motion and decreases the force required to return the pole to equilibrium. Therefore, according to the torque formula described above, securing pole 1 reduces the difficulty of the exercise. Specifically, reducing the difficulty of the exercise is necessary for developing a person's body balance at a low level.

[0101] 2.2. Ball

[0102] The ball is designed to be thrown by a person, moved through the opening of ring 3, and placed in the basket. Specifically, the ball is weighted—with its diameter remaining the same, its mass increases, specifically by making the ball from a higher-density material and / or by making the core of the ball from a higher-density material. According to the gravity formula, increasing the mass increases the force required to throw the ball, which increases the difficulty of the exercise.

[0103] 2.3. Basket

[0104] The basket is designed to accommodate a ball. The basket is fixed to the floor or a support, and the basket is positioned so that the distance between the basket and the person can be increased. Specifically, at least one side of the basket is cleared to a distance no less than the maximum established throwing distance. Increasing the distance between the basket and the person allows for increasing the difficulty of the exercise, as described above.

[0105] 2.4. Ring

[0106] Ring 3 comprises a fastening element 4, configured to secure ring 3 to pole 1 at the end portion of pole 1. Ring 3 has a diameter no smaller than the diameter of the ball, with the ability to allow the ball to pass through ring 3 during a throw, which, as described above, allows for the development of human body coordination. Ring 3 is removable, allowing ring 3 to be replaced with a ring 3 of a smaller diameter from a set of rings 3, which, as described above, increases the difficulty of throwing the ball. By the diameter of ring 3, substantially equal to the diameter of the ball, is meant the diameter of the ball with the clearance required for the ball to pass through the opening of ring 3.

[0107] 2.5. Floor stand

[0108] Floor stand 6 is designed as an elongated rod secured to base 7, consisting of two parts connected by fastener 2. Specifically, base 7 is designed as a tripod. Fastener 2 is provided with a hinge allowing one part of floor stand 6 to tilt relative to the other. Using a bent floor stand 6 with an inclined part alters the trajectory required of the ball, thereby ensuring, as described above, the development of neural connections responsible for target alignment, the correlation of targets with the ball's trajectory during the throw, and the execution of the throw with the desired trajectory. Consequently, as described above, the difficulty of the throw increases. Floor stand 6 is designed to be secured to ring 3 using ring fastener 4, which is necessary for performing the exercise of throwing a ball through a ring.

[0109] The specified set allows one to simultaneously perform the exercise "holding the pole" and the exercise "throwing" or the combined exercise "holding and throwing", therefore, the number of exercises that can be performed using the stated set increases, therefore, the arsenal of exercises performed is expanded.

[0110] Example of use

[0111] A person balances a 150 cm long pole on one arm, then holds the arm suspended at a height of 1 m, ensuring the pole remains vertical for as long as possible. Then, while holding the pole continuously for 90 seconds, the pole's length is reduced by 10 cm. The exercise and pole length adjustments are then repeated until a 30 cm long pole is held continuously for 90 seconds.

[0112] Next, place the basket 50 cm away from the person, set a 50 cm diameter ring at a height of 1 m, and then repeatedly wrist-flip a 9 cm diameter ball through the ring, holding the ball with the fingertips until the ball enters the basket. Upon achieving 10 hits without missing, remove the 50 cm diameter ring and replace it with a 5 cm diameter ring. The exercise is then repeated, changing the ring diameter until the target number of hits without missing is achieved when throwing the ball through a 10 cm diameter ring—1 cm smaller than the ball's diameter. A 1 cm gap is required for the ball to pass through the ring.

[0113] The basket is then placed 50 meters away from the person, a 50 cm diameter ring is placed on the top of the pole, the pole is set to a height of 150 cm, the person then positions the pole on one hand, and then holds the hand at a height of 1 meter so that the pole remains vertical, while simultaneously repeatedly wrist-flipping a 9 cm diameter ball with the other hand through the ring until the ball enters the basket, while the person holds the ball with the fingertips. Upon achieving 10 hits without missing, the pole length is reduced by 10 cm, and the ring is replaced with a ring 5 cm smaller in diameter. The person then repeats the exercise and changes the pole length and ring diameter until the 30 cm long pole is held on the hand for 90 seconds and simultaneously achieves 10 hits without missing when throwing the ball into the basket through a 10 cm diameter ring. A gap of 1 cm between the ball and the ring is required for the ball to pass through the ring.

[0114] Practical use provides the ability to change the complexity of the exercises performed and expand the range of exercises for developing coordination and balance of the human body.
