Strength Training Bridge With Modular Balance Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing push-up fitness equipment provides only a single function, limiting its versatility and effectiveness in strength training.
Innovation Solution
A strength training bridge with an arched base structure that allows for adjustable instability and balance control, featuring rotatable and lockable module units, gripping handles, and a pull rope for varying training difficulty, and can be disassembled for additional push-up exercises.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If push-up fitness equipment is designed with a simple structure, then manufacturing cost is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the device can only provide a single push-up function, limiting versatility
Solution Approach 1:
The push-up fitness equipment is designed with a base that can function both as a push-up support and as a balance training device. The base structure incorporates features that allow it to serve multiple purposes: providing stable support for push-up exercises while also enabling balance training through its arched frame design. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by allowing a single device to perform both push-up and balance training functions without requiring separate equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is divided into modular components including a base with arched frame, support legs, and adjustable elements. This segmentation allows the same components to serve different functions - the arched frame provides structural support for push-ups while also creating the instability needed for balance training. The modular design enables versatility without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the base structure is designed with an arched frame for balance training, then adaptability and training versatility are improved, but structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The arched frame structure is integrated directly into the base of the push-up equipment, merging the balance training function with the existing push-up support structure. Rather than adding a separate balance training device, the arched frame is incorporated as part of the base itself, allowing both push-up and balance training functions to be provided by a single integrated structure. This merging approach increases versatility while minimizing the increase in overall structural complexity.

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.
