DESCRIPTION

TRAINING TROUSERS

5 OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to training pants, particularly pants that incorporate different resistance bands or resilient elastic bands, which allow the user to perform training series by increasing the load

10 on the user's legs. Also, the training pants allow training series to avoid distortion of the user's natural center of gravity or its movement patterns.

The training pants are made up of a belt and adjustable heels for

15 tighten the resistance bands and is characterized by having knee pads in which 4 clips are integrated, each placed in each of the upper and lower ends of the back of the kneepad, allowing the formation of a flexion angle in the back of the knees and providing resistance when exercising the legs.

20 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are several types of exercise equipment and systems on the market that allow the increase of resistance in the user's legs, particularly “leg harness” type devices for variable resistance, which are known because the load is increased by

25 the user's legs, but these devices have not been satisfactorily tested for sports training that require constant use of the feet such as Taekwondo or Karate.

As an example of such devices, there is the American industrial design DES.

30 385,385 which exhibits in its design and graphic representation, a set of leagues incorporated into pants, where the leagues are incorporated into the garment of the pants. However, said industrial design although it adjusts to the legs of the user, such adjustment of the leg ties in the legs is dependent on the tension exerted by the leagues that are continued in the part of the user's torso, therefore to obtain the tension in the

35 part of the lower extremities (part of the garters incorporated into the pants), this depends on the tension in the upper part of the user's body.

On the other hand, US patent US 5203754 describes a variable resistance exercise apparatus with harness, which allows the user to carry out a series of exercise cycles with an increase in the load through resistors, increasing the load of the user's legs, to increase muscle strength and hardening of the

5 legs Said apparatus includes a belt, leg accessories, extendable laces for the belt and foot accessories to provide an increase in resistance and without distorting the natural patterns that the exercise forms.

However, it has a disadvantage that the leagues do not fit the user's legs

10 integrally, distorting the user's natural center of gravity due to the position of its leagues. Therefore, this device does not cause the tension necessary for the exercise of the legs, in exercises such as those required in the practice of taekwondo or karate.

Also, US Patent 6179760 B1 describes an apparatus for assisting the

15 leg muscles during cycling. This patent presents technical elements that help the user's legs in their stretching during an upward run and help the legs to contract during a downward run to release energy and help the legs to spin the pedals.

20 Said device is used to increase the performance of a cyclist in the bicycle or cycling assembly by increasing the performance of the speed obtainable by the cyclist for a given cycling cycle.

The invention includes the arrangement of one or more elastic members applied to the legs

25 of the cyclist such that said elastic members are stretched in the downward stroke of the pedals to generate energy and in the upward stroke of the pedals to release the energy to help the cyclist's legs to turn the pedals and in turn the wheel toothed

30 However, in this application there is no evidence that the devices arranged with garters, regardless of the purpose for which they are used, have knee pads that help form the angle of flexion at the back of the knees.

Other documents of the prior art are:

US 5,308,305 describes an apparatus for increasing the exercise of body muscles comprising one or more articles of clothing that employs one or more resistance members.

US 6,179,760 B1 describes a method and device include elastic elements used

5 in aid of the legs such that the elastic elements stretch in the downward stroke of the pedals to generate energy and contract in the upward stroke to release the energy to help the legs to rotate the pedals and in turn to the cogwheel

10 None of the devices described in the state-of-the-art documents described have knee-shaped means that allow articulation in order to favor and form the angle of flexion in the area of the knees, in addition to being specially designed for Taekwondo or karate practice.

15 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, and with the objective of overcoming the deficiencies of the current training apparatus and that its characteristics correspond to the requirements of the practice of taekwondo and karate, the invention of interest aims to provide 20 training pants to overload with resistances the user's legs and consequently increase muscle strength getting harden legs. With this increase in muscle strength and hardening, the user will be allowed to develop a greater technique in their legs by improving their kicks, thereby obtaining greater prominence in most martial arts such as taekwondo and karate, where

25 requires that the movement of legs be agile, fast and strong at the time of contact.

An advantage of the training pants, is that it is constituted of a belt and adjustable heels to tension resistance leagues likewise, the pants are characterized by

30 have knee pads that help form the angle of flexion at the back of the knees.

The training leagues have different resistance forces ranging from 45N to 90N depending on the user experience in the practice of taekwondo or karate.

35 which multiplied by the 4 leagues that make up the training pants provide a total resistance of 180N-200N to 320-360N.

Through the strength of resistance in the user's legs, the following kicking techniques can be practiced:

i) Kick ap chagui: It is a linear and frontal technique, where through the use of

5 training pants described in the present invention, the elevation of the posterior leg is improved with the knee flexed to the middle part of the trunk. On the other hand, the flexion in the support leg and the foot is improved at an angle of 45 to 55 degrees from the line of attack.

ii) Chagui bandal kick: The use of training pants improves

10 This semicircular technique that starts from the combat position, raising the posterior leg with the knee flexed in front, at the height of the trunk. The flexion of the base leg and foot angle between 90 and 100 degrees of the line of attack is improved. iii) Dolyo chagui kick: It is a circular kick that starts from the position of

15 combat With the training pants the elevation of the posterior leg is improved with the knee flexed at chest height, and allows the rotation of the hip 90 degrees forward.

Also as a modality, the training pants of interest can be used

20 to practice high performance sports or to improve physical fitness, specifically for weight loss through calorie burning.

The use of training pants, allows focusing the muscular effort and gain only in the desired muscle group, avoiding an oxygen expenditure and effort in groups

25 muscles that are not of interest to the user. Therefore, the quality of training is increased by focusing only on a muscle group and the user's physical condition to optimize the competitive form.

Another advantage of training pants is the strengthening of muscles

30 primary and secondary training zone. Likewise, the voltage is increased or decreased in a short period of time by simply having to change the voltage links.

The training pants aim to improve the neuromuscular response and motor skills for sports that combine speed, agility and strength,

35 as is taekwondo and karate. On the other hand, user coordination is improved by allowing you to be more aware of your movement patterns.

5 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

To achieve all the mentioned objectives and advantages, the training pants include:

With reference to the drawings, a training pants (10) according to the invention is shown in figure (1).

The training pants (10) comprise resistance bands (21, 22, 21´, 22´) for the stable and detachable fixation at its upper end around the waist or

15 middle section of a user of the training pants (10) and means for fixing at its lower end in heels (40).

The resistance bands (21, 22, 21 ’, 22’) are fastened at their upper end in the belt and at their lower end in the heels (40) passing through a loop of some

20 knee pads (30).

The belt (11) defines a surface adjustable to the human being and has at least one buckle type (12) that adjusts the belt depending on the size of the human user (FIG. 5). Also, the belt (11) includes a series of ring-shaped holes that are

25 are reinforced at its outer edge (12, 13, 12´, 13´).

The fact that the belt has more than one buckle will depend on the tension of the resistance bands.

30 The belt in order to be able to adjust to the user's body has at least one buckle that would each comprise a female end (15) and a male end (14) type harpoon or the like that allows the two ends of the belt to be retained.

Ring-shaped holes (12, 13, 12 ’, 13’) allow clamping of the ends

35 of the resistance bands (21, 22, 21´, 22´) with the belt (11) through coupling points (211, 221, 211´, 221´) (figure 5) located on its upper edge. The coupling points (211, 221, 211´, 221´) are introduced in the ring-shaped holes (21, 22, 21´, 22´) and thanks to the tension of the league, the separation with the resistance league belt.

5 The belt is made of materials that do not damage the skin, using materials such as cork, rubber, Neopren, having a thickness from 0.5 mm to 7mm. In another possible embodiment the closure can be double, and the belt a width between 5cm and 10cm wide depending on the strength of the resistance bands.

The invention also in a possible embodiment, the pants (10) can be made of elastane which is fastened around the waist or middle section of a human user of the training pants (10) by the belt (11).

The pants (10) have reinforced seams (50) on the front to prevent the

15 structure undergoes alterations or ruptures. Similarly, on the back the pants have seams with double reinforcement (60) in the channels of the legs and calves.

The pants (20) also have knee pads (30,30 ') placed around the knees which lead the tension links along the user's legs. The material of the

20 knee pads will preferably be but not limited to polyester and other synthetic materials.

The knee pads (30, 30´) each have clips on the side edges, in particular the knee pad (30) has two clips two at its lower ends (32, 34) and two others

25 clips (31,33) at their upper ends, while the clip (30 '), has two clips at its lower ends (32´, 34´) and two at its upper ends (31´, 33´) by the which are introduced resistance bands (21, 22, 21´, 22´) and provide stable fixation to the training pants.

30 In order to facilitate the passage of the resistance links (21, 22, 21´, 22´) through the lower (32, 34, 32´, 34´) and upper (31, 33, 31´, 33´) ) and avoid the risk of early rupture in the useful life, the resistance bands are lined with a very synthetic material or fabric which facilitates the path of the leagues giving it greater care and long duration.

On the other hand, the invention features heel cups (40, 40 ') placed around the sides of the ankle. The heels will be made of a material that prevents friction with the skin and

image8

wound production

Said heel cups (40, 40´), have fixing means (41, 42, 41´, 42´) which are used for the connection with the lower parts of the resistance links through 5 coupling points (212, 222, 212´, 222´) located at its lower edge.

The fixing means (41, 42, 41´, 42´) provided in the heels for fixing the lower ends of the resistance links (21, 22, 21´, 22´) in a possible embodiment are eyelets protected by a wall of Neopren, in another form of less professional realization they can take hooks as a means of grasping the heel.

The fixing means (41, 42, 41´, 42´) may carry metal parts, in the case that the pants are for hobby or personal training, however, in the case of being used for fight or combat to avoid injuries the heel will not have any

15 metal part.

The lower coupling points (212, 222, 212´, 222´) of the resistance links (21, 22, 21´, 22´) are introduced into the fixing means (41, 42, 41´, 42´) of the heels and thanks to the tension of the league, the separation with the knee pads of the leagues is avoided

20 resistance

On the other hand, the heels (40, 40´) have velcro ® joining ends (44, 43) that adjust the bottom of the heels with the user's foot depending on the size of the human user.

25 The heels (40, 40´) have the advantage of being easily removable from the foot and ankle of the user.

To achieve tension in the pants, the user must put on the pants with the seams

30 reinforced towards the front view. Subsequently, the user must proceed to place the belt at waist level and adjust the at least clasp type buckle by stretching the male section to make the connection with the female section of the buckle.

When joining the female section with the male section of the clasp type buckle, it must be verified that the belt fits perfectly with the size of the human user.

Subsequently, the coupling points are introduced into the belt ring elements. It must be ensured that the coupling points are fully introduced to allow for proper training by the user.

5 Then, the links that are attached to the belt are introduced, through the fixing means (of the knee pads and thanks to the tension of the league, the separation with the knee pads of the resistance bands is avoided.

Finally, the lower coupling points of the tension links are introduced in the fixing means located in the upper part of the heels.

The heels help to tighten the lower ends of the leagues.

With the union of all the characterizing parts you get a training pants

15 constituted of a belt and adjustable heels to tension resistance bands, characterized by having knee pads that help to form the angle of flexion in the back of the knees.

In addition, the training pants allow training series to be avoided avoiding distortion of the natural center of gravity or the user's movement patterns.

To achieve the appropriate tension for each user, the experience of each user in the sport to be practiced should be considered.

25 For a beginning user, links with a resistance force of 45N to 50N will be used, which multiplied by 4 leagues gives a total resistance of 180N to 200N, which increases depending on the exercise performed.

For an advanced user, links with a resistance force of 60N to 70N will be used.

30 which multiplied by 4 leagues gives a total resistance of 240N to 280N, which increases depending on the exercise performed.

For an expert user, links with a resistance force of 80N to 90N will be used, which multiplied by 4 leagues gives a total resistance of 320N to 360N, which increases

35 depending on the exercise performed.
