[0029] Implementation of a utility model

[0030] A training device for developing human body coordination and balance, comprising a pole configured to accommodate the end of the pole on a human limb, vary the pole's length, and maintain it in a vertical position, and a ring 1 of adjustable diameter secured by the outer circumference of the ring 1 to the other end of the pole in the same plane as the pole. Said design enables the simultaneous performance of an exercise aimed at improving human body balance, in particular, an exercise involving holding the pole in a vertical position on a limb, and an exercise aimed at improving human body coordination, in particular, throwing a ball through a ring mounted on the pole. Consequently, the training device is intended for the simultaneous development of human body coordination and balance. 1. POLE

[0031] The pole is made of an upper and lower part (hereinafter, the upper and lower parts refer to the upper and lower parts when the exercise machine is in use, respectively; the upper and lower parts correspond to the upper and lower parts of the exercise machine in Fig. 1, respectively) connected by a pole fastener 2, wherein the fastener is articulated, in particular, a cardan joint. Specifically, the pole is made of metal, in particular, steel, iron, or cast iron. Both parts of the pole are designed as elongated telescopic rods. The lower part of the pole has a flat end on one side, allowing the pole to be placed on a surface, including on a limb. The upper part of the pole also has rings 1 attached to the pole parallel to one another on one side.

[0032] Both parts comprise an inner rod 3 and an outer rod 4. The inner rod 3 is partially positioned within the outer rod 4 and connected to them via a sliding fastener. Specifically, the inner rod 3 comprises projections for fixing its position relative to the outer rod 4 and adjusting the length of the pole, while the outer rod 4 comprises grooves for accommodating the projections of the inner rod 3 and adjusting the length of the pole, in particular, reducing the length of the pole to a predetermined minimum length at a specified pitch.

[0033] The lower portion of the pole contains a pole clamp 5, designed to secure the pole to a limb. The pole clamp 5 is attached to the pole using a hinge, specifically a gimbal. The pole clamp 5 is designed to be raised relative to the limb on which the pole is attached, increasing the difficulty of the exercise.

[0034] Specifically, this exercise machine is used in an exercise involving holding a pole on a limb. During this exercise, the pole is subject to forces, specifically gravity and the inertial force generated by the movement of the limb with the pole attached. 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 central vertical line) and loses its vertical position. The person must compensate for these forces by moving their limb so that the bottom of the pole, attached to the limb, moves and the pole returns to a vertical position. Consequently, during this exercise, reaction speed and body coordination are increased.

[0035] When the length of the pole L decreases during the execution of the specified exercise, 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 the said muscles and the development of neural connections responsible for the control and precision of movement of human limbs increases.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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. In particular, reducing the exercise's difficulty is necessary for developing body balance in individuals with low levels of body balance.

[0038] Therefore, the ability to change the length of the pole provides the ability to change the difficulty of the exercise.

[0039] Fastener 2 is designed to connect the two halves of the pole. Specifically, fastener 2 is a threaded nut connecting the two halves of the pole. Fastener 2 is designed with a hinge that allows one half of the pole to tilt relative to the other. Using a pole with an inclined half increases the difficulty of the exercise by shifting the center of mass and increasing the force required to maintain the pole in equilibrium, according to the torque formula described above.

[0040] The pole is designed with a 5-pole attachment for securing the pole to a person's hand or foot, reducing the difficulty of the exercise. Attaching the pole reduces the pole's possible range of motion and the force required to return the pole to equilibrium. Therefore, according to the torque formula described above, attaching the pole reduces the difficulty of the exercise. In particular, reducing the difficulty of the exercise is necessary for developing body balance in people with low levels of balance.

[0041] 2. RING

[0042] Rings 1 are attached parallel to each other on the pole at the bottom of the pole, coplanar with the pole, using ring fastening element 6. Ring fastening elements 6 are articulated, specifically cardan joints, allowing for the displacement of rings 1 relative to the pole to change the number of rings used in the exercise. Increasing the number of rings 1 and using parallel rings 1 increases the difficulty of the exercises performed, as it reduces the number of possible trajectories along which the ball can pass through ring 1. Reducing the number of parallel rings 1, therefore, reduces the difficulty of the exercises performed.

[0043] The rings 1 are made with a diameter no less than the diameter of the ball used in the ball throwing exercise, to ensure that the ball can pass through the rings 1 during the throw, which, as described above, ensures the possibility of developing the coordination of the human body.

[0044] Rings 1 are expandable, allowing for a change in diameter to vary the difficulty of the exercise. Rings 1 are comprised of telescopic, expandable ring elements shaped as circular arcs, connected to form the circumferences of ring 1. The expandable ring elements comprise inner ring elements and outer ring elements. The inner ring elements are partially positioned within the outer ring elements and connected to them via sliding fasteners. Specifically, the inner ring elements contain projections to secure their position relative to the outer ring elements, while the outer ring elements contain grooves to accommodate the projections of the inner ring elements and adjust the ring diameter.

[0045] Specifically, this training device is used in throwing a ball through a hoop attached to a pole. During this exercise, the user must align the imaginary line connecting the hoop opening and the basket opening with the ball's trajectory during the throw. They then set the ball's trajectory and energy so that it follows this imaginary line through the hoop opening and the basket opening. Consequently, this exercise improves throwing accuracy and body coordination.

[0046] 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 exercise, stimuli are generated in the brain that activate neurons, forming and strengthening 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 throw with the hand 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.

[0047] As the hoop diameter decreases, its area decreases, which in turn decreases the ball's impact area. Consequently, the number of possible trajectories leading to the ball's impact decreases, increasing the difficulty of the exercise. Using a bent pole with an inclined portion changes the trajectory the ball must take, thus, as described above, promoting the development of neural connections responsible for target alignment, the correlation of targets with the ball's trajectory, and the execution of the throw with the desired trajectory. Consequently, as described above, the difficulty of the throw increases.

[0048] Practical use provides the ability to change the complexity of exercises performed to develop coordination and balance of the human body.
