Modular Arched Strength Training Bridge for Controlled Instability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing push-up fitness equipment provides only a single function and lacks versatility in training options.
Innovation Solution
A strength training bridge with an arched base that forms a seesaw-like instability, allowing for balance training and adjustable difficulty through rotatable connections and gripping handles, which can be disassembled for additional push-up exercises.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If push-up fitness equipment is designed with a single function, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability or versatility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The fitness device is designed to perform multiple functions including push-up exercises, balance training, and strength training through a unified arched bridge structure. The device can be used in different configurations (arched position for balance training, disassembled for push-up exercises) to provide diverse training options without requiring multiple separate devices, thereby achieving multi-functionality while controlling structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The fitness device is divided into detachable module units that can be assembled into an arched bridge structure for balance training or disassembled into separate components for push-up exercises. This segmentation allows the same components to serve multiple training purposes, increasing versatility while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design
2Adaptability or versatility
If the arched structure is made stable, then the reliability is improved, but the balance training function is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connection between module units employs rotatable joints that allow the structure to transition between stable and unstable states. When connected, the arched structure provides sufficient stability for support, but the rotatable connection introduces controlled instability that enables balance training functionality. This dynamic characteristic allows the structure to adapt its stability level based on the training mode being performed

AI summary
The present invention discloses a strength training bridge, comprising: a plurality of module units, wherein each module unit comprises a base; two adjacent module units are arranged along a length direction of the base and are fixedly connected and/or rotatably connected, so that bases of the two module units jointly form an arched structure with a bottom surface protruding downwards. The bridge forms an arched base protruding downwards, wherein the arched structure has seesaw-like instability, and can be used to perform balance training thereon, or the difficulty of related training is increased or targeted training is performed by controlling balance or generating unbalance in the conventional training, so that the training effect is improved. This bridge has a simple overall structure, rich functions and an attractive appearance, which meets the needs of a user for targeted strength training and is especially suitable for strength training of pectoral muscles and arms.
