RU130865U1 - DEVICE FOR TRAINING VESTIBULAR APPARATUS FOR ATHLETES - Google Patents

Abstract

A device for training the vestibular apparatus of athletes, containing the stops mounted on the bed and a hollow body made in the form of a hemisphere filled with bulk material, mounted on a ball heel, characterized in that the bed is equipped with guides, and the stops are movably mounted in these guides by means of sliders and equipped with a mechanism their movement in the guides of the bed.

Description

The device relates to sports simulators and can be used for complex training of the vestibular apparatus and muscle development of the lower leg and foot in athletes, children and adolescents.

A device for training the vestibular apparatus, containing mounted on the bed stops and a hollow body made in the form of a hemisphere filled with bulk material, mounted on a ball heel [1]. When performing frequent training on this device, a person gets used to the location of the stops, which in the future does not give a positive effect when performing exercises.

A device for training the vestibular apparatus containing a hollow body mounted on the bed, made in the form of a hemisphere and filled with bulk material [2]. However, when using the known device, sufficient dynamic loads are not provided, and its use does not allow to combine the development of stability with intensive training of the leg and foot muscles.

It is also known a device for training the stability of its implementation, which consists in moving the legs on the surface of the tank having a curved base and installed on it a platform for the legs, which is filled with bulk material or any liquid [3]. The disadvantage of this device is that only athletes with good training can use it, and beginners have stability problems that can lead to injuries since the device does not provide for restricting the angle of inclination of the hollow body, which may cause the trainee to fall.

The technical result, the achievement of which the claimed device is aimed, is to increase the effectiveness of training by changing and adjusting the angle of inclination of the hollow body directly during training a person. By adjusting the angle of inclination of the hollow body, this device can be used to train not only athletes, but also children, adolescents, and people with insufficiently developed coordination of movement.

A technical result is achieved due to the fact that the frame is equipped with radial guides, and the stops are movably mounted in these guides by means of sliders and equipped with a mechanism for moving them in the frame guides.

Figures 1 and 2 show a device for training the vestibular apparatus. Figure 2 shows a view aa (hollow body not shown).

The device includes a hollow body 1, made in the form of a hemisphere, filled with bulk material 2 and connected to the bed 3 by means of a ball heel 4. Sliders 5 are movably mounted on the bed 3, equipped with damper cushions 6, their number can be different, but not less than three . The slider 5 is set in motion by means of a mechanical transmission 7 and an engine 8.

The inventive device operates as follows. The trainee becomes inside the hollow body 1, placing his legs on the bulk material 2, and begins the training, which consists in the fact that the athlete moves the legs on the surface of the bulk material 2. In this process, the athlete changes the position of his vertical axis relative to the ZZ axis of the body 1, providing the inclination of the housing relative to the frame 3 due to the spherical heel 4 in various directions. With a significant deviation of the axis Z-Z of the hollow body, the hollow body 1 interacts with one of the damper cushions 6 installed on the slider 5, which were installed at the beginning of the training at a certain distance by the trainer or athlete. During the interaction, an additional dynamic load arises, which is transmitted to the legs of the trainee, and during the interaction the angle of inclination of the body is limited. After several interactions of the hollow body 1 with one or more damping pads 6, the trainer or the athlete himself remotely changes the position of the damping pads 6 by moving the slider 5 by means of a mechanical transmission 7 by turning on the engine 8. The position of the damping pads continues to change until the end of the training.

With these inclinations and the movement of the athlete's legs (up and down and to the side), the sand also moves (up and down and to the side). During this training, the muscles of the leg and foot of the athlete perceive a sliding-pressure reaction from the sand, which ensures the process of their training. Moreover, this process is combined with stability training and the perception of shock-dynamic loads with a gradual change in the athlete's tilt angles relative to the longitudinal Z-Z axis.

The proposed device is safe for training and has advanced features that increase the effectiveness of training. The device can be used in gyms, outdoors and at home.
