Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-107060

However, the effect of the invention described in Patent Document 1 is that the winding position of the belt is not displaced even by physical activity, and there is no disclosure or suggestion of any further effect. Like the invention of the present application, which will be described later, it does not address the problem of wearing it on the body of a runner during jogging or the like to correct the posture during jogging or the like, which is not normally conceived by those skilled in the art.

In addition, while the invention according to Document 1 has the effect of tightening the body with a constant force all the time with the elastic force of the belt and maintaining that state, the effect of the present invention is that it does not slip. It is not something that is brought about by maintaining the pelvis, but by applying force transmitted from the handle to the pelvis through the correction pad under simple operation, the posteriorly tilted pelvis position is relatively moderately tilted forward. It exerts the effect of displacing.

In general, one of the points for performing jogging or the like efficiently and correctly is the form of jogging or the like (hereinafter simply referred to as "jogging form"). When people continue aerobic exercise, their muscles gradually become fatigued due to exhaustion of energy. Although there are individual differences depending on muscle strength, exercise experience, etc., after a certain period of time has passed since starting running, the strength of the trunk weakens, the waist falls, the spine draws a C curve, and the upper body tends to bend forward.

FIG. 18 is a diagram comparing forward and backward tilts of the pelvis P during jogging. (a) shows a state in which the pelvis P is tilted backward, and (b) shows a state in which the pelvis P is tilted moderately forward. It should be noted that the moderate forward leaning referred to here is different from the so-called warped waist. Focusing on the waist circumference when the upper body is slouched forward, as shown in (a), the pelvis P is often tilted backward.

If you continue jogging with your pelvis tilted backwards, your knees will bend, and your front thigh muscles (quadriceps) will be applied to the ground as if you are braking. The burden will also increase. Although the calf muscles (triceps surae) work to cover the load on the quadriceps and knees, the triceps surae are smaller than the quadriceps and wear out quickly, so early or late local muscle fatigue can cause muscle fatigue. cause convulsions. This is a typical example of inefficient jogging.

In 2018, the rate of jogging or running at least once a year was 9.3%, with an estimated population of 9.64 million. Jogging and the like are currently one of the most popular exercises. (Sasakawa Sports Foundation "Survey Report on Sports Life" 1998-2018)
